Ashanti such a class act. I love her personality. She so humble and that laughter is contagious. To still be in the industry 20 plus years later and people still love you and sing your songs like crazy is great. She have an amazing career with no drugs , drinking or crazy stories about her. You can tell that Ashanti have a solid family dynamic her mom always by her side and I love that.

[@mib7411]

I went to dance school w/ Ashanti & her mom at Bernice Johnson's in Queens, NY. Bernice Johnson was Prodigy's (from MOB Deep) grandmother's dance studio. Anyone who was anyone went there to Bernice dance school (some transitioned to DeVore Dance Studio). I've danced there w/ Raven-Symoné & met Phylicia Rashad. I was in the "Tiny Tots" lol and Ashanti & Prodigy were in the same dance class, "Super Tots". I remember the first time I seen Ashanti in a music video w/ JaRule! I was screaming in my bedroom like... "THAT'S ASHANTI!" 🙌🏾🔥💚👏🏽🥳

[@divaforhire4589]

I really like Ashanti she has stayed humbled throughout the years and her classiness is truly addictive to those who are looking to stay sustainable in business. I literally could listen to her songs along with Ja forever they never go out of style.

I am so glad that Ashanti is finally getting what she deserved because the devil may have delayed her progress but he did not destroy her dream and now she is doing everything she wanted to do back then because if Irv Gotti hey got out of his feelings murder ink would have still been one of the hottest record labels out there but he was so selfish and greedy he destroyed the whole record label.
