Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas (born October 13, 1980 in Glen Cove, New York), professionally known as Ashanti, is a Grammy Award-winning American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, model, and fashion designer who rose to fame in the early 2000s.
Ashanti is most famous for her eponymous Grammy Award-winning debut album Ashanti which featured the hit song “Foolish”, and sold over 503,000 copies in its first week of release in the U.S. in April 2002. The album set a Soundscan record as the most albums sold by any first-time female artist in the chart’s history, outselling debuts by Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill. In the same week, she became the first female performer to simultaneously hold the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with “Foolish”, and “What’s Luv” (with Fat Joe). She broke records again by having three Top Ten songs Foolish, What’s Luv, and Always on Time, with Ja Rule, on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the same week, being the first female to accomplish this feat and being second only to The Beatles. Ashanti also wrote and sang background on the song “Ain’t It Funny” (Murder Remix) sung by Jennifer Lopez which was also in the top 10 charts at the same time as “Foolish”, “Always on Time” (with Ja Rule), and “What’s Luv” (with Fat Joe). Later that year, she was acclaimed as the “Princess Of Hip-Hop & R&B” by the media and capped off her successful debut by winning eight Billboard awards and two American Music Awards.

Ashanti didn't get dropped. Ashanti was let out of her contract bc she didn't want anything to do with the inc and hasn't since 2006. Don't listen to Irv Gotti. You can watch his show and know he is full of it. Ashanti has her own record label, Written Entertainment, and will be in the studio workinf on her NEW album, July 6th! :) LLOYD also LEFT the inc, so obviously Irv Gotti is the issue. Anyway, Join •Ashanti:The Concrete Rose• for more Ashanti News!
