Why Nelly Telling Ashanti He Won’t Change Son’s Diapers Is Not a Flex

  • Nelly declared 'I just ain't changing no diapers' during their Peacock reality show, sparking debate over paternal involvement in infant care.
  • Nelly states he will only help once his son can speak, citing self-awareness and viewing diaper duty as Ashanti's responsibility, reflecting his parenting philosophy.
  • Social media critics condemned Nelly’s refusal to assist with diaper duty, while some fans defended his use of nannies, with Dr. Deborah Gilboa warning about long-term risks of fathers avoiding caregiving tasks.
  • Social media reactions renewed debate on parenting roles, with analysts urging better paternity leave to challenge gender double standards in caregiving.
  • Beyond this case, advocates argue that extended paternity leave can reshape outdated fatherhood norms, as 'weaponized incompetence' reflects a broader trend influencing future caregiving roles.
