Ashanti’s still got the rhythm — and the curves to match.
The 45-year-old musician was spotted in Bridgetown, Barbados, soaking up the Caribbean sun with her newborn son and longtime partner, rapper Nelly. The couple welcomed their baby boy, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes, in July 2024, but Ashanti’s return to the beach looked as effortless as ever.
Wearing a striking, multi-colored one-piece with a plunging neckline and a matching headscarf, she cut a confident figure on the shoreline. Her signature curls spilled down her back, gold hoops caught the light, and pink-tinted sunglasses gave the look a touch of retro glamour. Between ocean dips and moments with her son, the Rock Wit U singer seemed completely at ease — a veteran performer now playing her most natural role.
Earlier in the week, she was spotted in a bright pink bikini on another beach outing, proving that even after 20 years in the spotlight, Ashanti’s blend of style, strength, and sensuality hasn’t faded.
At 45, her curves remain her signature — not just a look, but a statement.
