Ashanti should have taken one of those 360 deals she was allegedly offered. Her album is becoming as mythic as Dr. Dre’s Detox. It’s beyond obvious now that she doesn’t have the resources to handle releasing a full album independently, at least not the way she wants it to be presented. It’s like she can only barely handle putting out one single and video at a time, and even then she can’t afford promotion. I hate to say it, but she needs Roc Nation and Mike Will. Everything Kelly Rowland and Ciara are doing now, she needs to hone in on.
And before anyone starts, I’m not hating. Even though I was never a big Ashanti fan, I wouldn’t mind seeing her have a surprise come-back that’s well received, but she needs to get over her ego of “I’m Ashanti, the biggest R&B/pop chick of 2002″ and be willing to roll with the punches of the current music industry until she scores another hit, THEN if she ever regains commercial success, she can start making diva demands again.
JMO.

To be fair we don't really know that the reason she can barely get through one song or video and promote is because of funding.........she just wrapped filming a movie in NY last week and prior to that she was a season regular(7 weeks of stationed filming) on Army Wives s it's not like she was sitting around on tons of time to promote.

And in regards to her needing to learn how to deal with the industry punches.....homeboy, she has been doing that since 2008
