Ashanti lets it all out in this interview with the HOT 97 Morning Show's Old Man Ebro and Laurastylez. Ashanti talks about her ex-boyfriend of 7 years, Nelly, and addresses Irv Gotti for saying she was disloyal to him and Murder Inc
I like how she's so open this time around. I always liked her demeanor because you don't have to expose your ALL, celebrity or not. People need to learn from her.
It makes me happy that her Mom is still her manager. I remember in middle school when we had to take sex ed they showed us a video about the "changes we are going to be going through" and Ashanti and her Mom were in it.
I really liked Ashanit/Nelly. Their chemistry was very present. Be nice if they could reunite. However, no one knows their situation better than them, and they know what's best.
Ashanti's a good girl. Quality woman, very tight knit with her family. I don't know what the hell was wrong with Nelly. It ain't a lot of good women out there. And he just lost one. What an idiot!
I think your being biased talking more from a fans perspective. Nelly is a celebrity and he is a guy. Lots of woman, way hotter than Ashanti throw themselves at him. He is young, rich, and famous what is he going to do...say no "I'm um..with Ashanti". Don't think so. Look at Ashanti, she is a nice girl, rich, but is far from being as hot as the girls who throw themselves at Nelly. It's funny because given her status I'm sure she could land some older, rich gentleman who would appreciate a young hot trophy wife. But as for Nelly, I think it's a matter of "been there, done that...left...came back and did it again...now I'm gone" type of situation. Look at Ludacris, he is young rich and his fiance is in medical school to become a doctor. She isn't rich, but she's smart, and she is one of the hottest woman out there. Mike Jone...what? Mike Jones, he got his girl in law school and she is hot.
It's funny how when a chick is fine the dude is an idiot because they are not together anymore. Maybe she's the idiot. Nonetheless she is no doubt sexy.
I totally agree with you the OP. Real talk, he is crazy. She is gorgeous, funny and has a bubbly personality. I think Nelly can't stand someone else having her which is why he is still bubbling in the picture but at the same time, he still wants to be a player. I would not deal with these crazy industry guys for lovers or boyfriends. Too much heartache
Great interview, there were some points I wish Ebro would've let Ashanti finish saying what she wanted to say. I also REALLY LOVE how open she was in this interview.
She laughs like that in EVERY interview. no matter what she's talking about. I think its just her personality. I think its great the woman has a sense of humor
Seen this Somewhere:: Nelly and Ashanti been seen PLENTYYY times on red carpets together, events together, Nelly EVEN took Ashanti to T.I and TIny's Wedding. NElly EVEN had Ashanti perform at his Traditional Black And White Party, where she in-fact perform a song and dance on him. Nelly was even the leading male lover in Ashanti's "Good Good" video. Ashanti was NElly's leading lover in his "Body On Me" video. Nelly even said in an interview that he NEVER denied a "relationship" he had with Ashanti, nor did she EVER deny a "relationship" with him and even said that he wanted to see these interviews where they BOTH denied each other OR claimed each other. You NOT gone find one because there isn't one he said. And the reason why he never married her because he said in an interview that he ONLY wants to get married ONCE!, he not the type to get marry more than that and he wanted to wait to be sure. HIm and Ashanti had relationship problems CLEARLY,. Nelly NEVER played Ashanti. And if he did, like nelly said, Show me when or where he PLAYED her.
Ashanti's new single is nice, and the records I heard that she released so far have been nice. Especially for her, for R&B, and it shows her evolution, but staying true to herself. With all the bull we got on the radio now, nobody needs to be talking about Ashanti's new record in any sort of bad way.
im happy for her i can tell she was holding in all this stuff for so long and she finally was like yu know what f*** it lol im going to tell my side of the story. Great Job proud of you Ashanti cant wait for album
Nelly & Ashanti would have been as big as Jay & B and Chris & Rihanna if they had been public with their relationship since 2003 cause they were both at their peaks around that time especially Nelly
This is a year old, but there still good friends, isn't that more than enough? Nelly and Ashanti even said it themselves that the relationship was an "unusual" one. To me, i think the media caused them to break up because they were all up in their business, when they're trying to keep the relationship private. But hey, you got to do what you got to do. :) K Tibaijuka
Ashanti is totally ignoring the young lady when asked a question by her. This is a classical response when we address our attention to the one we think is most important. This is a habit we have to break, for it happens involuntarily.
Ashanti or alicia keys who is more beautiful? Hard choice because both are beautiful black queen's!!! Pam grier or bernadette the daughter on good times who is more beautiful? Definitely easily bernadette!!!
So do drug addicts and many people who attack people. It's not all what it seems. There are a lot of people in jail with serious mental defects which are not treated. Mental institutions are all but abolished now a days and all that's left is imprisonment. Prisons are nothing but private businesses where a few people make most of the money. It's not about help, it's about profit.
U could be right, but I think ppl feel differently when it is them that it being stalked... sure he's just a stalker with a mental condition but u r violating my life so I don't know which one is the right place for them.
no they need ti go jail you need to know your doing to much thats how they end up killing or harming people... you look like one on the real sort it out
If you listen to Irv and JaRule's interview with Charlamagne , Irv has said that at that time he was high off of Extacy. He was so high at the time that he even threw J-Lo under the bus, that is why when J-Lo talks about her past on tv, she only starts at the point where she got with Diddy and Living Color, not much about Murder, Inc. Also Irv was blacklisted, like he said the Feds told everybody in the business not to work with him. He could not produce for years. I guess people wanted her to stay and wait.
The music business is nothing but a corrupted business. Even though she was big in the early 00's making hits after hits with murder inc. I can tell she was in a dark place of her career during that time. That is what kind of affected her music career since she took a long absence from music after murder inc. But I am glad she is all grown up now and has climbed back. Ashanti is a great artist with great vocals. To bad the music businees is corrupted.
***** Exactly! ppl always label themselves under a zodiac as to say, thats the platform for ALL when its not..The Libras I know are cool but have disloyalty about them as well..but thats only for ones I know personally, that doesn't speak for all..good point.
No offense to Ashanti but I will be damned if I be with someone for 9 years and get dumped. He would have got four years and that's it, no ultimatums nothing just do you want to get married one day, and he say no and I'm out.
Note what she says at 1:00 - something along the lines of some things went public compared to other things that went public before. I think she is referencing that she knew he was having an affair.
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING EBRO IS SAYING AS A FAN STILL 2DAY BUMPING ASHANTI N JaRuleVEVO MUSIC I WILL LUV 4 THEM 2GET BACK 2GETHER N MAKE SUM HITS.I NEVA GIVE UP ON MURDER INC ESPECIALLY JARULE..I BELIEVE DE 90'S N DE BEGINNING 2000'S IS WEN DE BEST MUSIC WAS CREATED..N IF U CAN FEEL N BUMP ANY MUSIC 10-20'S LATA THATS WEN U NO ITS DAMN GUD MUSIC..SO YALL MAKE IT HAPPEN #BEST OF WISHES 2 U'ALL
It's almost 2014 and we're talking about Irv Gotti! He needs to revive his career and stop complaining about Ashanti. She's got it right now and he doesn't. He should be on the come up and stop complaining about the past.
