Ashanti Talks 'Gotta Move On' Verse, Truth Behind The Music, "Lil D Energy" + More!

[@jasminesanders6034]

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.

Ashanti is just a VIBE how can you not love her!!

I love the way Ashanti cackles! 😂😭 She’s not afraid to laugh and that’s refreshing and relatable. Quite infectious ❤️

[@KaizerSozaye]

Because she’s from New York duh 🙄

[@Freddy1-]

I agree I love how she laughs. Is so normal and down to earth.

[@Dideeeee]

@@KaizerSozaye you sound mad weird, I’m from New York and don’t laugh that much. But I’m bubbly too. And being afraid not to laugh has nothing to do with New York clown 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️🤡

[@doctordef324]

@@Dideeeee new new Yorkers are mean and rude tight wads!!!! My uncle told us of his visit to new York, we were kids just listening to his storytelling... we're southerners. So he came back and said, " yeah, the neggas there are CRAZY!! They walk around looking weird, if you speak to them they just stare at you looking crazy!!!" I'm NEVER going back there!!!"...... All of us little kids looked around at each other like, NO WAY, WE WILL NEVER GO TO NEW YORK!!! ALL THOSE CRAZY PEOPLE!!"!😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@shirleyleopold8024]

[@lisawilliams1198]

You know what I truly admire about Ashanti is that she found her life formula. She knows what works for her, what makes her happy and she runs with that. Simple and uncomplicated.

[@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!" 🙌🏾🔥💚👏🏽🥳

I bought Ashanti’s album when I was 13 years old. It was one of those albums you could play from start to finish. I still bump it to this day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GigiLeflair]

Ashanti’s laugh is so pure, real, & relatable. I just know she takes off running a little bit when she laughs with friends because it’s an “extra” laugh! And I love it ❤❤❤❤

[@kayveal3802]

Ashanti’s laugh is infectious, I will never forget listening to her first album and the first time I heard baby. The way she wrote the lyrics with metaphors and unpredicted lyricism was unmatched.

[@Omo21000]

She’s so likeable and contagious, she’s laughed this whole interview I adore her so much

[@sunshine2312]

Ashanti gets credit for so many of her God-given talents, fire personality, work ethic, and looks.But few people talk about her intellect. Ashanti is smart. She has emotional intelligence and a quick understanding cognitively. I think that along with one of the best managers in the business, she has been protected tremendously, where others have been eaten up because they didn't have these skills. That industry is a beast and she's remained above it where others have been destroyed.

[@ClaireHaire]

*Ashanti has not aged a day, her pen game, vocal talent is will always be the bar. I still listen to her songs like they just came out, I'm still confused on why people keep playing with her and her laugh is the best.*

[@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

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.

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
