The article contains an appeal to authority and a potential overgeneralization. The author writes, “Ashanti is sharing how she revealed to Nelly that she's pregnant — even though he seemed to have already figured the happy news out.” This statement implies that Nelly knew Ashanti was pregnant before she did, which contradicts the information provided later in the article. Additionally, there is an appeal to authority when quoting Ashanti's statements about her pregnancy and personal experiences. No other sources or experts are cited in the article.

No formal fallacies found. There are some informal fallacies in the form of anecdotal evidence (Ashanti's personal account of the proposal) and appeals to emotion (describing the intimacy of the proposal). The article also presents a dichotomous depiction by contrasting extravagant proposals with intimate ones.
] Ashanti, who will soon welcome the couple’s first child together, fifth for Nelly, is opening up about their love story, revealing how the “Hot in Herre” singer proposed to her.
] According to Ashanti, she was completely surprised when he popped the question. Although she had a feeling it might come soon, she was not expecting it to happen while she was wearing his T-shirt and boxers while watching TV.
] It’s pretty sweet Nelly kept it intimate and personal. It would have been very easy to turn it into a viral video, but he wanted the special moment to be something only the two of them would experience.
] Ashanti also confirmed that the baby will arrive before they say, “I do.” As for the wedding? She wants it to be on a sunny beach with palm trees.
