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.

[@Stringer_Bell70]

I couldnt have said it better darling!!

[@SharreeREE]

💯 totally agree! Ty🥰

[@trulyworkfromhome6767]

She is and looks amazing, we need more of this, seeing this in our culture than all this ratchet mess out here now...love Ashanti ❤️❤️❤️

[@MySquishable]

Humble??? U call that HUMBLE?? Naw she think she the shit and she act like the shit the whole time

[@theanswertoproblems]

bullshit when she first came out she didn't want to interview with Memphis radio. She said Memphis was a small market

[@danacooper6723]

Ashanti has always been a class act. Never ratched,disrespectful,or unprofessional. She is a talent that should be appreciated and respected.

[@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!" 🙌🏾🔥💚👏🏽🥳

[@justinblvd]

Ashanti has always been a class act and carries herself well. Minds her business and collects her royalties and lives her best life. Always got love for her ❤

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.

How can you not love Ashanti?!?! I’m a forever fan….

[@Kymistry28]

Thru all the years of the wig game that has went on in this world and even today, I gotta give it to Ashanti's hairstylist, she slays her wigs everytime. I aint never seen her hair off point RT

[@mrroberts472]

That’s her hair douche

[@73musicmatch]

I usually agree but for the Angie Martinez interview..... i was like nahhhhh who did this?

[@aleyasmith]

@@73musicmatchbabyyyyy!!!!! That wig during the Angie interview was dreadful. It was down to her eyebrows

[@73musicmatch]

@@aleyasmith lmaoo we love her tho. she must've been in a rush or bind cause I know she saw it too

[@westonrichards3884]

We all know that she's wearing a wig....no one says anything about red lipstick of false eyelashes....but the dig on wigs are constant. Note to room: Ashanti would look great with a bald head with a feather taped to it. Long hair don't make you pretty.

[@erickmartinez313]

@ashanti needs her own podcast , her interviews are always so classy and she always gets her points across

[@georgelockhart2721]

Ashanti she's so beautiful! Humble & super successful & a sweetheart I love seeing her pretty face on The breakfast club every time she is on here I get very very excited! I wish her much blessings in her career continues to flourish! Waiting on a new album sweetheart!

Ashanti be cracking up 😂🤣😂laughing.. I love it❤

[@alizagillespie9009]

[@TierraSanea87]

I remember being 14 and Ashanti's album was the first cd I bought with my own money lol. And I've been a supporter ever since. She is such a beautiful soul and so talented as far as writing, etc. She definitely deserves her flowers!😌🤩💜💐💐

[@Calislayz101]

Same!!! I was in middle school. It was my first album that I purchased!!

[@MODERNDAYGRIOT]

It’s the loud, wide mouthed laugh for me. 🗣She has joy and I like that.

[@SuperSavageSpirit]

All the young kids are looking at Ashanti thinking "damn she REALLY from the 2000s!? 😍"

[@jk9084]

No surgeries!

[@kimee757]

I LOOOOVE a BIG, LOUD laugh!!! She definitely like the girl next door. STILL looking like she's in her 20s & sounding amazing AND killing the stage STILL!!! Another great interview!

[@joycetines3573]

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. I'm proud that God is blessing her cuz she deserve it and she is so respectful and poise and how she carries herself

[@Keno3361]

Ashanti's laugh is everything I love her !

[@tondeliajohnson5513]

I love Ashanti ❤I have all her CDs and still play them all during certain periods and situations in my life!! Rain on me will always be my favorite!! And I also have a unique name

[@mikesmoot1090]

Man I love this girl, her honesty and the amount of respect for other she has. But man oh man I love her because something about a down to earth silly girl or women in a relationship is everything man. What a great human and spirit to be around

[@litchilagoodchild3735]

Ashanti is such a gem ❤️

[@Gianne0923]

I was 14 and a freshman in high school when her album came out and all us young dudes back then mad crushed on her. Now at 34 seeing her she look the exact same. Black don’t crack!

[@TaliaJanette]

She really gives no shine to Irv but doesn't bash him. This the level of unbothered I want to be at

[@BeautyByLinnoria]

She's sssoooo pretty, well spoken, and just gives a positive light...just lights up the room❤️💜❤️

[@Bianca-zb4uu]

I love Ashanti! ❤️ She is so humble and just amazing!

[@Stacksonem]

I make it a point to pronounce names correctly. Its a form of respect. I also tell people, don't go by your nickname just because you're afraid of people pronouncing your name correctly. Just correct them, eventually they will get it, if they refuse then they are being disrespectful and you just need to dismiss that person from your life.

[@edwhilt]

A rose by any other name smells as sweet. I don't care what you call me, as long as the check clears I think the overly self importance of your name is egotistical.

[@queenv6961]

Excuse my ebonics but....It don't make no sense how gorgeous Ashanti is 😍. Literally one of the most beautiful women in the world IMO.

Ashanti is also the tribe that Harriet Tubman was from you can look it up on KZbin and her family said she knew she was from the tribe of Ashanti it's a part of the 12 tribes of Israel in fact Ashanti's are Levites the same tribe Moses were from. That's why she was called a woman call Moses!

I'm convinced she's a vampire. Ashanti still looks the same, as 20 years ago. She is so pretty! She seems so humble and just chilled. Her laugh is everything. If she was my friend, we would always be laughing. She stays in her own lane and doesn't have beef with anyone. I wish more people would be like her. And her mom doesn't play when it comes to her daughter. Keep doing your thang, Ashanti.
