Some won't believe or admit this but there was a brief period when Ashanti was a bigger star than Beyonce and had a higher trajectory. Its crazy how things are now. Gotta always mind the company you keep...
SouthFloridaLove you stupid, Ashanti first album sold more than beyonce debut album. It was a new york magazine back in 2002/2003 that said “Beyonce’s no Ashanti”
Jojos Mom that’s kind of true but let’s put that into perspective...that probably happened for like 6 months. Ashanti dropped in 2002 Beyonce dropped on 2003. Maybe 6-9 months TOPS after crazy in love she been miles and miles ahead of Ashanti. Ashanti second album was cool but wasn’t no where near the first one and it was all down hill from there. Beyonce was on the upswing every since
IDK why people wouldn't admit that, those are facts! For a split second literally, she had everyone's attention, then that MURDER INC. case happened and she fell by the wayside. However.....I will say that Destiny's Child went through a lot of bullshit in the public eye as far as their image in concerned and still look what happened with them and Beyonce'. That can't be compared to a federal case but she was worried about her image as well.
Michael Ashanti's debut did not outsell Dangerously In Love album! She had a better 1st week sales but Dangerously In Love album sold more & lasted longer on the charts!
Maina Kiungua-Yes she is still FINE AF!!! I wonder what her secret is? She has not aged in YEARS. She still looks the same as she did 10-15 years ago...how does that happen???

THE most underrated female talent in r&b history. Writer, vocalist, performer actress, all done under the cloud of a federal indictment. Quietly legendary. Not to mention, she ages in reverse.
hey ya'll, aint nothing wrong with talking about how there was a time when Ashanti was tombstoning the industry and beyonce was playing Michael Meyers love interests in movies
Ashanti and Ja Rule and the rest of the murder Inc artists will always take me back to elementary and middle school days bkuz they made dope music that still lives on today. I will always support Ashanti. Love her music, especially her first album and her album Concrete Rose. 🌷
Yeah maybe if its comin out of some average/below average lookin chick. But she's gorgeous, so that weird voice makes her sexier to me. It's a real down to Earth laugh that makes me feel like I have some sort of shot in hell of makin her wifey....
Annoying is Annoying. I refuse to believe there isn't a "gorgeous" woman on this earth, that either a man or a woman finds utterly annoying, and would find that laugh a complete turn-off. Gorgeous women get left for a "average" or "below average" woman everyday. I've witnessed this, and when that man left, he didn't give a single f*ck about her looks, and to this day he's never been happier. Just saying.
Y'all are haters 🙄 Ashanti is a LEGEND she was fastest selling new artist EVER. She's the princess of R&B & Hip Hop, Stop Acting Like Foolish Isnt A Classic 🙄 Stop Acting Like Rain One Me. As Well As All The Songs She's Done With Ja Rule Aren't Bops As Well. She Has A Lot Of Classics. A Lot Of Y'all All Are Haters & It's Sad. Ashanti Is A Legend In This Game PERIOD. Recognize & Give Credit When It's Due.
Love this lady. I love how she didnt allow the industry and the snakes in it to change her. She remained true to herself and her brand. Very beautiful as well it's like she doesn't age. Mad respect for Ashanti!
She’s soooo pretty ! 😍 Ashanti’s first album, I know from start to finish and still gets play, I remember learning that corny dance routine in the video she did for Happy. 😂❤️
She is still sooooo beautiful. Some of my most fondest memories are tied to her hits. Hear the music and back in high school all over again. Those were the days man. Music was so fun and free spirited with a more positive vibe. Love music of today too dont get me wrong, but I loved the late 90's early 2000's of music.It was the soundtrack to my childhood. peace and hair grease to all xoxo
Ashanti had a great moment in the early 2000's she was the main R&B chick at one point. after Aaliyah died and before Beyonce went officially solo. But she was on the wrong label at the wrong time. if it wasn't for 50 cent destroying her label, things could of been different.
lifestraight I understand what you're saying. I agree to an extent, but alot of ppl and labels at that time was being investigated. not just murder Inc. behind closed doors they could of bounced back. But the real blow came with 50 Cent because that ruin murder Inc. publicly. on the surface he made murder Inc uncool. I'm not a fan of 50 but i do remember the impact he had on New York those days. anything he did or say was Gold. 50, Em, Busta Rhymes and the aftermath team all played a part in the end of murder Inc. One minute in New York ja rule records was being played everywhere. then 50 drops and it got real quiet for ja rule and the label. Even though Ashanti and Lloyd was trying to keep the label up float with the hits, But the damage was already done. Irv Gotti admitted on the Breakfast club that once he heard in the club he looked at Ja rule and said "We have a problem" Which is sad because Ja rule , Ashanti and Lloyd are great artist. So i understand what you're saying far as 50 isn't the reason 100%. for murder inc. demise but he definitely wounded them......
I always wondered why her career didn’t really take off after her first album. I never knew about murder inc being indicted. That makes me sad she had to suffer because of it. I was so obsessed with her when she first came out!
SlowClass Kai she had more than one album and they all have done well. They went platinum. It's just once that whole situation with Murder Inc happened she just been slow in the industry.
Singers that are signed to rap labels or in rap groups usually don't have big careers. Look at Truth Hurts ( signed to Dr.Dre label) and Olivia ( G unit). People associate Beyonce with Jay z, but she was never signed to his label. Plus she had a career before she knew him. Ashanti would of did better on her own instead of being with Murder Inc.
GREAT FUCKING INTERVIEW!!! Now THIS is what you call "Artist Development Training"!!!! She speaks well, she answers the questions, she gives up the info but doesn't snitch, she looks AMAZING & she's SOBER. I miss watching interviews like this! Straight up. #90sKid
Tatyana Najee she did and still does, that track with Nelly and Akon shes on think she looked her best but jus found that mesmerize video corny as shit, not really her but Ja looked foolish
YOOOOO I had no idea why Ashanti fell off so bad! She was literally one of my idols growing up! I honestly loved her more than Beyonce! And she's from LI like me so I just felt that connection too. Glad I know now and I'm so glad she's finally back in the limelight and getting recognition she deserves.
noooooooooooooooooo I used to love Ashanti more than Beyonce too. Whenever I heard my friends say that they liked a Beyonce video more than Ashanti's I would get mad lol.
Ashanti is a ICON in the music industry. Millions of albums sold can go on tour and not worry about ticket sales. Even has been on broadway and transitioning to acting. Not as big as she was but that's due to unforeseen issues that she had no control over, which could have finished most ppl career... This woman is a ICON.
Ashanti was Beyoncé’s competition back then. And Ashanti still holds a record. Beyonce just simply out worked her competition back in the day. Ashanti sounded horrible live and out of breathe back then. Ppl keep saying bey was only popular bc she didn’t have any competition and that’s a lie. (Alicia keys, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Ashanti) maybe not now but back in their prime when they first started they were putting up numbers
Beyoncé wasn't seeing Mariah even in her prime, Mariah was selling 5x more in 2005 than Bey was. Let's not forget about the TEOM album and those back to back 1's
lela scott I said Mariah was competition for Beyonce in the early 2000’s. beyonce was outworking them. (Tours, movies, albums, perfume-which I think still holds a record, clothing line, deals with Pepsi and Samsung etc) I didn’t say she was better but she was out performing Mariah and that you can’t deny. And if you go back and read everything you just said I said. I said in those girls prime (Ashanti, Ciara, Mariah Carey and Alicia keys) they were putting up numbers 😒
Interviews with just Yee and Charlamagne are pretty good. They do well together. Envy and Charlamagne interviews are disastrous sometimes lol. They can't get through it without giggling and talking nonsense to each other.
Ashanti used to kill it with Ja Rule back in the day. I still remember when I'm Real was supposed to be made for her, but she ended up singing the back up vocals on it with J. lo.
This why Ashanti STAY winning. Publishing, acting, music, she owns her OWN label and all this she does LOW KEY. If you’re going to show respect anybody’s hustle in the industry she would be it. I remember buying Ashanti, Beyoncé, Monica, Brandy , Tweet etc all within the same month. Now, the radio only wants to act like there’s only 1 which is BS. I’m definitely supporting her.
Ashanti I'm even offended that dude disrespected you by throwing money. You are a performer who has talent. The act of throwing money demeans you, your brand and your accomplishments.
AntiOTRS Yea. But rihanna and beyonce were able to appeal to mainstream audience. Ashantis music seemed more just geared to r&b audience. But she is highly talented and I still bump her songs from a while back.
@Donya Baker Ashanti was mainstream tho, her songs were on TRL she was even a covergirl for foundation, once Ja Rule was mainstream Ashanti was right behind him.
AntiOTRS Yes, it's just that she was on the Murda Inc ship and remained until it sunk. Also, she did Hip-hop Soul unlike Rih and Beyonce who went the Pop route.
Ashanti genuinely seems like a sweet person.
she really is. had the pleasure of meeting her. dope chick
Ashanti look like a prime source of the purest cocoa butter.

In the R&B World, Ashanti is an Icon from the early 2000's. I hear "Foolish" and "Always On Time" on the old school radio stations almost every week.

SlowClass Kai she had her run. Long career's in R&B scene are rare. More talented than her have had shorter time. At least she can still tour and etc.

(Tours, movies, albums, perfume-which I think still holds a record, clothing line, deals with Pepsi and Samsung etc) I didn’t say she was better but she was out performing Mariah and that you can’t deny. And if you go back and read everything you just said I said. I said in those girls prime (Ashanti, Ciara, Mariah Carey and Alicia keys) they were putting up numbers 😒
Toya J-Royston Amerie had 1 hit
Momma had Charlemagne on good behavior
stefon julien bird man should have brought his mom instead of his entourage 🤣

Ashanti is so humble, fine and down to Earth. Many blessings and much success to her.
bfears yes
She gets finer and finer every day!😍 Definitely one of the realest Artists in the game.
Beautiful soul , face , body , voice , personality and Honey ... Queen Ashanti 👑
Some of yall say she rude. Let me explain this these celebrities are not your friend. It's a job that's it. Stop idolizing these celebrities.
Glasses came off. I melted. Somebody scoop a brother up.
Interviews with just Yee and Charlamagne are pretty good. They do well together. Envy and Charlamagne interviews are disastrous sometimes lol. They can't get through it without giggling and talking nonsense to each other.
Miss Raquel beautiful
Miss Raquel bullocks
I didn’t even realize that Envy wasn’t there LMFAO!
Gorgeous as usual. I loved her music back in the day.
I’ve always love Ashanti .. she’s so pretty and has a sweet voice.. she’s always been so beautiful!!💜💜💜💜
Sunny Skyz beautiful
Ashanti used to kill it with Ja Rule back in the day. I still remember when I'm Real was supposed to be made for her, but she ended up singing the back up vocals on it with J. lo.
thisguy1225 😳😩 wow that’s a fun fact for me
Ashanti is actually singing Ain't it funny remix but they put J Lo voice over it but u can still hear Ashanti voice
She’s beyond talented and can dance// exactly why she’s my favorite artist ever since I was younger.
She's freaking Gorgeous 😍
Lisa Jade beautiful
Still waiting for that Tyrese breakfast club
algrolls lol I gotta check that out
I'm so glad that Ashanti is doing well and that new music is out. Yes, she still is very beautiful I might add!
This was a great interview! My favorite singer!
I just think it’s funny how y’all keep saying black don’t crack when Ashanti is only 37 lol 😂 that’s not old, she just been famous for a long time.
Tony Montez OK so look at her mom then
Yeah Ashanti's mum was right about the name being powerful & Strength....ASHANTI is a region in GHANA that fought for our independent.
I Swear... she’d drop a new single every year then disappear
I know you reading this Ashanti , LOVE and POWER to you! Your amazing , an inspirational figure, keep going 🖤 from UK.
Damn the older Ashanti get the finer she get. ❤
Ashanti has such a sweet spirit to match that beautiful face. I love her. Also, Angela I love you hair.
"You know what I meeeeeeaaaaan?" 100x"You know what Im sayin" 50x
Porsha LeBlanc beautiful chocolate lady
It's good she's her own boss and can have the best of worlds with her fame and her regular life👍🏽
Ashanti that coat is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Angela Yee and Ashanti having a hair battle.
algrolls word
algrolls yee won💁🏽♀️
This why Ashanti STAY winning. Publishing, acting, music, she owns her OWN label and all this she does LOW KEY. If you’re going to show respect anybody’s hustle in the industry she would be it. I remember buying Ashanti, Beyoncé, Monica, Brandy , Tweet etc all within the same month. Now, the radio only wants to act like there’s only 1 which is BS. I’m definitely supporting her.
All men love Ashanti instagram page. She is gorgeous, pretty, beautiful, and every other amazing adjective you want to use too describe her.
Shawty still nice beautiful black sister ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💯 black don’t crack. Baby
forlife forlife shes mixed.. Chinese/ indian father
kim thomas
Proof?
forlife forlife she will get turnt
Unique Opinion so? Nigga that don't mean shit.
Ashanti I'm even offended that dude disrespected you by throwing money. You are a performer who has talent. The act of throwing money demeans you, your brand and your accomplishments.
Ashanti should be up there with Rihanna and Beyonce. #Fax
AntiOTRS Yea. But rihanna and beyonce were able to appeal to mainstream audience. Ashantis music seemed more just geared to r&b audience. But she is highly talented and I still bump her songs from a while back.
@Donya Baker Ashanti was mainstream tho, her songs were on TRL she was even a covergirl for foundation, once Ja Rule was mainstream Ashanti was right behind him.
AntiOTRS Yes, it's just that she was on the Murda Inc ship and remained until it sunk. Also, she did Hip-hop Soul unlike Rih and Beyonce who went the Pop route.
AntiOTRS NOW U GOIN TOOOOOO FAR
she good. space
Ashanti been bad forever
Luciano she a baddie og😗
Luciano lols thanks😘 and holddd up did you delete ur comment lmao😂😂
Ashanti a LEGEND . She wrote every hit for JLo I didn’t know
Rayshawn Baston only song I read she wrote for her was "Ain't It Funny"
Yeah but she song "I'm Real" which J. Lo lip synced
I love Ashanti she really is a legend. She has hits for days
