Irv is just being greedy as fuck. Ashanti currently gets nothing from the masters side but gets royalties from the publishing. Irv gets from both sides. By re-recording the albums she will own the masters and get from both sides whilst Irv would then only get royalties from the publishing side for his part in writing/producing. Hes been living off her royalties for near 20 years. Its time she earned a greater share for her work.
