The 'Baby' Fever: Ashanti's Viral Hit Brings Back Memories of Ja Rule and Olivia Munn's Pregnancy Joy

It has been over two decades since the R&B queenlet Ashanti first captured hearts with her sultry rendition of The Black Eyed Peas' chart-topping hit, 'My Baby.' But in recent times, a particular verse from another song bearing an uncanny resemblance to Ashanti's iconic tune has been making waves online – Ja Rule and Olivia Munn's 2002 collaboration featuring none other than the lovely actress herself.

Released during her peak as part of 50 Cent's record label, 'A.I.M.' (Always on It) featured a guest appearance by American television personality and model Ashanti. The song quickly became an anthem for young women across America in the early 00s, with its catchy beat and memorable hookline serving as the perfect soundtrack to their carefree teenage years.

Fast forward to today however – almost two decades after 'A.I.M.' first hit airwaves – it seems like time has indeed stood still. With Ashanti's timeless classic continuing to rack up millions upon views across various social media platforms, many fans are reminiscing about simpler times when music truly mattered rather than just being another disposable piece of content designed solely for likes and shares.

And who better personified this sentimentality than none other than actress Olivia Munn herself? In a candid interview given back in 2002 to promote her then-upcoming movie 'The Dilemma,' Munk openly shared her excitement at the prospect of becoming a mother one day. Speaking about what she hoped most for from motherhood, she revealed:

'I think 'the' best part would be having someone who loves you unconditionally...and always being there for them.'

Fast forward to today and it seems like fate has indeed been kinder than Munn ever could have imagined! The beautiful actress welcomed her first child – a baby boy named Malakai Marais-Webb – with partner beau John Mulaney in 2020.

As Ashanti's soulful voice echoes through our speakers once again, reminding us all of the pure joy and love that comes with parenthood ('Baby, baby...'), we can't help but feel nostalgic for those halcyon days when music truly mattered.

So sit back, relax, press play on this throwback gem – and let's take a trip down memory lane together!
