Ashanti made an appearance at the 20th annual NAACP Theatre Awards at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles last evening. The singer/songwriter was awarded with the ‘Spirit Award’ for her contribution to the arts.
She look so good! I still want her to have a HUGE resurgence in popularity. I remember her entrance into the music industry. One of the best ever. She still holds the highest sales for a female debut album
i admire ashanti cuz she has an ambition to contnue what she does, despite what people say, and obviously she is doing something she received a fuckin naacp award! CMON baby!
last time I check Ashanti has the best opening sales from a R&B artist in the history of the charts so still has the records cuz Susan Boyle is not R&B .
FAIL at whoever said tht Ashanti debuted with 800k in one week..SHE COULD NEVER. She had the highest debut for an R&B female artist. Which still mind boggles me to this day. Susan Boyle has the title for highest debut for a Female Artist in general..
Actually the record was for the Best selling Debut album for a female in its first week!!!!!! Ashanti looks beautiful and I am anxiously awaiting her return! She also bring good R&B music and we don’t have much of that these days beside Monica, Mary, Fanny
Wait, Rihanna’s “stiff”, yet you refer to Ashanti as a “singer/songwriter”?? Really?
Further confirmation that you wouldn’t know talent if it slapped you in the face. What makes Ashanti anymore stiff than Rihanna?
Ashanti is SO one dimensional that I DARE you to google a photo of her where she isn’t giving the same pose: “One hand on her hip, one foot in front of the other and a big, UNdiva like wide a$$, “Chhhhhhhhheeeeeeese” smile!
@Carrington Sit the fuck down this has noting to do with Rihanna. And Yes Ashanti is a Singer/Songwrtier. She actually sits down with a pen and a pad and writes her music. She does has her songs handed to her like billy goat gruff.
@Chimer STFU if it was for music so what. The only thing you can do is hate. And sit behind your computer and STAY mad.
Ashanti looks amazing and is well deserving of the award. Why is it so hard for people to just aknowledge when someone is doing something posistive, and has been recognized for it. People can be so negative, it’s sickening. I’m sure if she was in the headlines for being a druggie, she’d have the number one album and featured all over, right? And this isn’t about comparing her to any other artist, this is about her and her achievements. BUT if you ARE going to compare her to anyone, it damn sure shouldn’t be Rihanna’s yodeling ass. Ashanti shits on Rihanna with her warm-ups alone. Rihanna may have the popularity, but that’s due to selling out and a huge publicity boost due to Chris Brown. Ashanti has the talent. She can sing. She writes her own music, which makes her work personal, and art. She’s a beautiful girl, who’s always smiling with a bubbly personality. And she’s contributing positively. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. Congratulations Ashanti! You deserve it and much more.
Congratz to Ashanti for her very much-deserved reward and am very proud of her honor!! I believe she does have the strong vocal chops to rather “prove” her winning of it. $he was excellent in the movie and it landed her a very “distinguished” award!! BIG UPZ to “ASHANTI” cuz she worked hard. If only her music could get on the same level…
Who is this again?? Lemme dust through my albums to find the last relevant thing she did! LOL

Ashanti is SO one dimensional that I DARE you to google a photo of her where she isn’t giving the same pose: “One hand on her hip, one foot in front of the other and a big, UNdiva like wide a$$, “Chhhhhhhhheeeeeeese” smile!
Find one.

@Carrington Sit the fuck down this has noting to do with Rihanna. And Yes Ashanti is a Singer/Songwrtier. She actually sits down with a pen and a pad and writes her music. She does has her songs handed to her like billy goat gruff.
@Chimer STFU if it was for music so what. The only thing you can do is hate. And sit behind your computer and STAY mad.

Ashanti looks amazing and is well deserving of the award. Why is it so hard for people to just aknowledge when someone is doing something posistive, and has been recognized for it. People can be so negative, it’s sickening. I’m sure if she was in the headlines for being a druggie, she’d have the number one album and featured all over, right? And this isn’t about comparing her to any other artist, this is about her and her achievements. BUT if you ARE going to compare her to anyone, it damn sure shouldn’t be Rihanna’s yodeling ass. Ashanti shits on Rihanna with her warm-ups alone. Rihanna may have the popularity, but that’s due to selling out and a huge publicity boost due to Chris Brown. Ashanti has the talent. She can sing.
