@meme Nah. Mya was HUGE back then. & you're comparing Ashanti who is an independent artist to Beyonce who is signed to one of the biggest record labels in the world and she's married to (arguably) the most successful rapper to ever do it (in terms of music, accolades etc). But low key Ashanti is worth more than 90% of the R&B girls who have come and gone within the three decades. That's certainly something to brag about! Especially considering that she's always remained true to her core fan base and she's never sold out.

Ashanti has always been in the cut, she's never been one for gimmicks or engaged within fake relationships for notoriety (No shade to ur faves)

At the end of the day, I support any women of color out here making boss moves. Success is success, and any way you spin it, she's still worth 40 million more than the both of us combined.

Bey is in her own lane. & in terms of talent; I'll be completely honest Beyonce is way more talented than Ashanti when it comes to vocals & performing & her work ethic is unparalleled. You combine that with the machine she has behind her & its a recipe for success

However Ashanti has a nice voice (she's no power house) she has a pleasant tone and her writing capabilities are A1! She's not "mega star" material but she is a star in her own right & she's very articulate & humble af. Most people in Ashanti's shoes wouldn't have even made it this far, they would've either of been broke, or married to an athlete or ended up on one of these reality shows.
