Boo’d Up: Nelly & Tae Heckard Party In ATL… [PHOTOS]

Feb, 26 2013 | Written by ATLien
There was a whole lotta side-eyein’ going on Sunday night as Nelly arrived at The Gold Room Sunday night with his new boo, Tae Heckard in tow (February 24, 2013).

For the record, Ashanti held on as long as she could (about 10+ years to be exact). The on again/off again couple even celebrated Shanti’s birthday in Atlanta last October as Nelly threw her a birthday dinner joined by BFF T.I. and Tiny.

But clearly, things weren’t meant to be and Tae (real name LaShontae) Heckerd is up next on Nelly’s ‘to do’ list.

More photos of the cute couple below…

The St. Louis rap star and his video vixen girlfriend have been kickin’ it for some time now and she was even spotted backstage cheering on her boo as he hit the stage during Jermaine Dupri’s SoSo Def 20th Anniversary Concert last Saturday.

Tae is mostly known for her appearances in several popular music videos. She’s worked alongside Ne-Yo on his “So Sick” single, as well as Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey’s single, “I Know What You Want.”

[Sidebar: Some of you Atlanta enthusiasts may also remember Tae as TI’s bitter jump off in the movie “A.T.L.”]

Nelly is all smiles… somebody’s clearly ok with bringing “sand to the beach”.

Tae throws a middle finger to ~~Ashanti~~ her haters…

Heeeey Nelly boo! I see you… 🙂

I posted a photo of a shirtless Nelly on my Instagram during the concert which prompted the following response about his decision to end his relationship with Ashanti…

Maybe I’m the square in the circle… but I’m not mad at Nelly. If things didn’t work out… they just didn’t work out.

Why is everyone blaming HIM for their 10 year relationship dying?

  Whatever! Him and Ashanti will be back together in a hot minute. 10 years is a longtime and she is the real love of his life.

  I hope not, Ashanti can do way BETTER. Tae and Nelly been involved on and off since 2005 and look where she at…he grace the grammies and you couldn’t even go to the show..shade….be smart Tae…I hope you make to a high profile event: which was more than Jessica Zepeda got. oh yeah "Rabbit" forgot about her and so do did he. Beside I heard Ashanti has moved on to Omari Hardwick…..I aint mad at her..good lord no.

  Karma is a b!tch and Ashanti is not innocent. Irv was married to Deb for YEARS and Ashanti was the sidepiece until Nelly came along and don’t forget she was messing with a married Chink Santana. Ashanti hairy ass ain’t innocent. Move on…
  
  shani’s baby
  
  well since we are HYPOTHETICALLY speaking….I dont EVER recall Irv wife or Chink wife or anyones wife for that matter calling her out for creeping..so I’m going to say that info is FALSE…and if your referring Irv Gotti interview with Wendy you need to know Irv Gotti RETRACTED his statement, he needed something to talk about because he is lame. now if they do a swizz/mashonda or a fantasia/antwaun then we could talk about it…so right now your just HATING..
- Koko
  
  I hope Ashanti finds real love with a real man who is willing to put a ring on it, until these young women demand marriage, they will get played by chumps like this who just want to lay up and play house, and, to think, I thought Nelly was a good guy.

  He looks happy. Everyone deserves to be happy.

  He actually look embarrassed to be with a woman that is a known lesbian…He seems pressed and what’s odd is that several of the men in the photos have given him the side eye.
- Escalady
  
  Oh well, she’s no different than most women who think they can change a mans mind about marrying them because they feel they’re "wifey material." Typically what happens is the guys stays with one girl for 5+ years, she finally gets fed up and leaves, and he marries the next chick. No love lost for Nelly, if you allow yourself to stay in that then you gets no sympathy. My husband married me in 2 years, so a man knows when he wats a woman to be his wife and doesn’t have to give BS excuses as to why he can’t. Anyway, isn’t that the jump off from THE GAME?

  She plays a character named "Jazz" on the game. She is a video girl/jumpie off who became the wife of one of the players.

  What makes you believe that Ashanti wanted to be his wife?…I do agree with you that IF she did expect as much that the alarm was ringing after the 2 year mark.
  
  Congrats on you and your hubby because he probably he knew he would marry you when he first met you….
  
  shani’s baby
  
  Ashanti does not want Nelly and heroing addicted self…he has bad habits…heroin, steroid need I go on…Nelly is not that DUDE..he dont even take himself seriously, because if he did he would date an actress or singer, he date video vixen and jump offs….he is HO’ing..sowing his outs…look at his history Jessica Zepeda, the pregnant stripper and now Tae. Ashanti is with Ray Rice and do not promote or advertise her relationships…she promote and advertise her shows " Army Wives" premiere March 10th, and Fuse news and Braveheart….

  Who gives a Fuck.
  
  riddle me this
  
  Ummmm….u do. Or why else would u read the story AND comment?

  First off I didn’t read the story, I came in here to say what I said. I knew some bird was gonna chirp exactly what you said. So predictable. Get a life please and thank you.

  Nelly is very irrelevant now. Next.

  I don’t know what happened with him and Ashanti but I do know people will only do what you allow them to. He looks happy (probably no denials here) so best wishes with them.
  
  Free Mind
  
  He doesn’t look happy to me but he has made his choice….Ashanti seems to be doing just fine though.
  
  Word on the curb is that Nelly impregnated a woman while he was with Ashanti or perhaps doing one of their breaks."Supposedly" he claims that Ashanti cheated with another guy and of course his male pride could not deal with that although she took him back fater he imprenated a woman….
  
  Anyways best of luck to Ashanti….

  she took him back AFTER he impregnated a woman who was of course a stripper….

  I heard Ashanti got caught up with a VERY married Chink Santana…
  
  sotru78
  
  Exactly. Tae is a cutie. Nobody knows the reason he isn’t with his ex so all the speculation is uncalled for. He looks happy if he didn’t wanna be seen with Tae he wouldn’t have taken her out in public. Sometimes long term relationships just don’t work.

  She was a lesbo according to several sources, and always dated butchy women. So maybe this is just temporary.
- EGB
  
  Hmmm..she kinda looks like a butched up version of Ashanti. Maybe she puts a strap on for him
  
  No dumping
  
  POW!

  LOL, I wouldn’t even be shocked….

  Correction Michelle, Tae was in Neyo’s "Because of You" video and "Do You" video not so sick…
- msking
  
  Messy…Messy…and the girl is in K. Cole video" Trust and Believe". I was really rooting for Nelly and Ashanti. I liked them together but if it didnt work out, it didnt work out. We dont sleep with them, we dont have tea with them and we damn sure aint spendin their money…with them..so we dont know what happened.

  I like both Nelly & Ashanti but Ashanti ignored all signs before about leaving this man. If your looking at looks for a couple yeah they cute and the girl is pretty. But Ashanti can do better also.

  nelly and ashanti, two kids that need to grow up, if ashanti knew her worth she would not have been with his ho ass for no damn ten years!

  that’s a GIRL???!!?? what going on with them eyebrows

  Ahhhh yes which is why I referred to her as a RUFFNECK

  She is pretty but the middle finger in pictures is so childish and reminds me of teenagers.

  Amen.

  Thank you, anybody that does that in pictures says a lot about them. Not only does it make them look childish, it makes them look stupid and ignorant especially when they are at an age which they should know better.
- hotlantaboss
  
  I’m happy for him! Ashanti is a bitch, and she never deserves fine ass Nelly to begin with. #blackpeoplemeet

  Strange that you say that because most people that know Ashanti finds her to be super cool and hella funny….

  I heard the opposite… and I think she looks like a mouse!
  
  truthteller
  
  YES a pretty mouse and Tae looks like a cute monkey
- Suthernhummingbyrd
  
  Did he even give his dick time to breath before he moved on? And I like how everyone is assuming he broke up with Ashanti, just because we see him out with a new chick..that’s a typical revenge move. Nelly is sexy and all, but I’m sure Ashanti is sumwhere laughing her ass off at Tae…who plays the sideline for almost 10 years, just to debut your "new status" at a club, AFTER he attended the Grammys. She oughta be giving Nelly the finger instead of the "haters". Step ya game up and get on the red carpet, hunny.

  LOL!

  He don’t mind bringing sand to the beach because she is leaving with a mermaid her damnself! #RUFFNECK

  The body language between her & the girl sitting next to her looks suspect. I predict they will not last.

  Heard she was actually bi, you know these fools like that my girlfriend got a girlfriend mess..more power to him
- Sasha T.
  
  I really liked him and Ashanti. That is a shame 10 years and he didn’t claim her or vise versa. She gave this man all of her youth and he moves on with a rough neck looking chick. Ashanti can do MUCH better and she will.

  nelly ain’t moved on with this chick. it just sex…
- iblovely
  
  is she the same girl from the game on bet?

  Ugh. Just ‘ugh’. Nelly is no one’s fresh catch. Ashanti can do better.

  That’s right,Ashanti can and is doing better…

  Ashanti is a new cast member in Army Wives. So she’s busy working. The new season starts next month. I’ve never been an Ashanti fan, but I respect the fact that she has solid work now. Maybe the show will get an Emmy this year. She’ll be a part of that.
- STLChick
  
  I hope Ashanti has moved on. I know some years back I knew of one jump off he had here in STL (sure there was more). He offered to either pay for her a truck or pay her tuition one semester, can’t remember which. What I found interesting is that he always called her from a blocked number, and she didn’t have his. One day he called and her mother picked up and asked him his intentions, because her daughter wasn’t raised to be his whore. He never called her back lol.
  I also heard that Ashanti was REAL ghetto, and they would argue all the time. "who is that bitch? What the fuck you looking at her for?" But there’s been rumors of her infidelities for the past two years as well.
  Word on the street is that those gambling rumors about him are true. I don’t see a prize in that man…never did. His assets are from the neck down.
  
  Free Mind
  
  From what I hear,his assets are NOT from the neck down due to all those steroids….

  *sips on all this tea with my pinky raised and my legs crossed…mhhhmmmm, tell it y’all!:)

  LOL…..
  
  He’s constantly at strip clubs and he knows a Lesbian does not care about his d_ck size.Nelly is just tired!

  AAWWW, SOOKIE SOOKIE NOW! Ain’t heard that lol.

  I saw him once in the Frontenac area with some thuggish looking guys and he actually thinks that he’s the shit. I guess he thought I was going to ask for an autograph or something because he had this look and I walked right passed him without a blink. Sorry, but I do not put celebrities on a pedestal. He looks dirty anyway.
- lol
  
  Lashontae was NOT messing with Nelly for 10 years, she was actually "married" to a woman named Mo or "Panda" until late 2011, that’s who the tattoo on her lower back was for.
  
  As for Ashanti, she’s young, pretty and has a career which is going places. Nelly is Lashontae’s problem now.
- Giselle
  
  no chemistry between Nelly and Tae, they look like two homies on the prowl for fish.

  LMAO because both do look like as if they like the same menu…..

  lmaooo!

  damn! i didnt even think about that!

  What is Nelly doing? Broke and running up behind other celebrities with money. He gambled all his wealth away. Owes Ashanti thousands. Doing cocaine. Make broke ass appearances. Dating strippers and hanging in strip clubs every night instead of business meetings making business moves and resting at night for the next business meeting.
  
  Free Mind
  
  Truth!
  
  I don’t think many people realize how broke this niqqqa is.Blowing thousands of bandz to make "her dance".Nelly definitely need to be in "Gamblers Anonymous"…
  
  Ashanti has not been dumb at all with her money and she is versatile.
  
  STLChick
  
  She was a little dumb when she gave him so much money. Last I heard, it was up to 1/2 a million. Have any tea about that?
  
  LXL
  
  That’s crazy. Is that the reason why he started that music rap or producing programs at one of those colleges in St. Louis?
  
  STLChick
  
  LXL, who knows. All I know is she was driving down the street when she heard a horn honking, and it was him waving her to the side of the road. That’s how they met lol.
- PHILA
  
  I HOPE ASHANTI KEPT HER RECEIPTS WHEN SHE LET THAT NIGGA BORROW SOME MONEY. LOL
- Kim
  
  She’s a cute girl but why did she have to comb in that Chili baby hair around the edges?
  
  …anyways, I agree with some of the comments that she looks immature with that middle finger pose. He must like ’em ghetto.
  
  LXL
  
  Yep, pretty much.
- LOL
  
  I hope Tae uses the hell out of that piece of trash.
  
  She looks like she wears the pant in this relationship anyway.
  
  Tae if you reading this..drain that [email protected]!
- shay
  
  Congrats to Tae I guess…she got a problem child on her hands now.
  
  Ashanti currently has a new lead role in the Lifetime drama series produced by ABC "Army Wives" that will be using her music in the promo and in episodes of the show!
  
  I’m looking forward to seeing her on "Army Wives" and the new music this break up will spawn!

  SHE WAS ALSO ON "THE GAME" AS THE CHICK THAT MARRIED JAVON

  Whatever, if she was on some snake ish…..boo, if it is honest all is fair in love…..shaunti has to chalk it up to a loss. 🙁
- LeeLee
  
  Maybe Nelly and Tae are "just friends". She looks like she could be one of the "homies"
- mary
  
  i dont understand women like ashanti and men like nelly….it dont take ten years for a nigga to put a ring on it, after five years of dating a nigga need to put a ring on it or move around. reason i say five years is because they are both in the entertainment industry and it takes them longer to get to know each other because of their traveling schedules.
- juju
  
  Nelly is nearly 40 years old, has huge gambling debs, pops pills, abuses steroids, and can’t keep his dick to himself. H
  LOL, He even follows every half naked woman on instagram, thirstyyyy.
  
  Tae will learn, I hope she doesn’t waste 10 years on him like Ashanti did.
