Nelly and Ashanti were spotted grinding on each other last week when they performed at the ESPN's Body Issue event in New York City.

Both Nelly and Ashanti have often denied that they are in a relationship which supposedly began six years ago, yet they have often been spotted on the red carpet at several events over the years looking very much like a couple.

The pair were spotted on stage at the event in NYC, looking happy to gyrate on each other in front of a huge crowd. Despite not collaborating on a track together, Ashanti still joined Nelly on stage while he was performing.

Ashanti is currently working on her own music and is expected to release a long-awaited new album next year.

Do you think Nelly and Ashanti are a couple?
