Chanelle Haynes, the rapper Nelly’s daughter, grew up with her brother Tre and two relatives.
Chanelle Haynes was raised alongside her brother Cornel III, called Tre, the daughter of famed rapper Cornell Iral Haynes Jr., better known by his stage name Nelly.
Sydney and Shawn, her cousins, were raised by her father, Nelly, alongside his children when his sister died of leukemia in March 2005. Even to this day, the question “Who is Chanelle Haynes’ Mother?” remains unresolved in the public press.
Chanelle, Nelly’s daughter, appears to have the most special relationship out of all of his children.
Following in the Footsteps of Her Father
Chanelle, popularly known as Nana, was originally introduced to the world by Nelly in his reality show Nellyville, which aired in 2014. Her sibling and relatives were also introduced during the same show.
Chanelle opened up about her life on the show, disclosing a few information such as her education and goals. She claimed that she went to Columbia College in Chicago to study business after her father recommended it.
She also displayed an interest in music, implying that she will follow in her father’s footsteps.
True to her word, the aspiring singer published her first single in July 2020 and plans to release more music in the future.
Nelly and his daughter have a wonderful relationship
A brief glance at rapper Nelly’s Instagram account reveals his lovely relationship with his daughter Chanelle.
On the occasion of Chanelle’s birthday on February 28, 2021, the ‘Just A Dream’ artist wished his daughter on Instagram. He shared a lovely photo of the father-daughter combo with the remark, “My miniature version of myself…!! Happy Birthday to my firstborn daughter, my Daddy’s darling… I adore you to the moon and back…!!”
“…even tho you are a strong gorgeous young woman all I see is a snaggletooth five-year-old that can make me giggle on any bad day,” he said on her birthday in 2020.
Chanelle’s brother and cousins are doing well in life as well
Tre, Chanelle’s biological brother, was a high school football standout who retired after graduation. He is currently spending time with his family and girlfriend.
Shawn, Chanelle’s cousin, uses YouTube to broadcast video game streams, tutorials, and music. Her other cousin, Sydney, on the other hand, is a budding model who had her first photo shoot on the reality show Nellyville. Sydney is also a mother, having given birth to a baby boy in January 2020.
Chanelle Haynes’ stepmother wants Chanelle and Nelly to have children
While Nelly reared Chanelle as a single parent, Chanelle and her siblings were raised by his lover, Shantel Jackson.
Shantel debuted as a cast member on Nellyville, and she and Nelly have been dating ever since. Shantel grew close to Chanelle and her siblings as a result, and Nelly refers to her as ‘Mama.’
Shantel has a particular place in Chanelle’s heart and family, but she has expressed her desire to have a child with Nelly on several occasions.
One of those times was when she appeared on the reality show Platinum Life. Shantel brought up the topic on the show by asking Nelly if he recalled her telling him she wanted to freeze her eggs because she was in her thirties and her eggs were most likely outdated. “Your egg ain’t old,” Nelly said in response.
Shantel delved farther into the matter, explaining the procedure to him and asked whether he would be willing to participate if she did. “I’m a natural guy,” Nelly said, expressing his support. If something occurs, it occurs. But ultimately, the choice is yours. I’m here to lend a hand. In any case, I adore you. “Everything is OK.”
