Ashanti has broken her silence about Irv Gotti‘s controversial comments about her.

And she didn’t hold back.

Appearing on Angie Martinez‘s ‘IRL (In Real Life)’ podcast, the GRAMMY winner addressed what she called Gotti’s “surge of animosity” towards her.

As reported, during an appearance on Drink Champs, the Murder Inc mogul spilled all sorts of allegations about his former protégé including claims that they were romantically involved and that she betrayed him. He also referred to Ashanti as a “b*tch” multiple times during the segment.

Nearly 7 years after earning his latest top 5 album on R&B charts, legendary singer-songwriter Babyface is aiming for a redo with his latest LP, ‘Girls Night Out.’

Released October 21, the project comes as his first under label home Capitol Records and was preceded to digital shelves by the #1 R&B hit ‘Keeps On Fallin’ with Ella Mai as well as the Kehlani-assisted ‘Seamless,’ the Queen Naija-assisted ‘Game Over,’ and the Baby Tate-enlisted ‘Don’t Even Think About It’ (as reported here).

Other notable names on the 13-track effort include Ari Lennox, Doechii, Sevyn Streeter, Muni Long, and others.

“Rather than just writing the songs, I collaborated with other producers and the artists themselves in terms of writing. It gave it a different experience and flavor, which allowed each artist to have their own thing. ‘Girls Night Out’ is really more about them than it is about me,” he said in a recent interview about the highly collaborative effort. “They’re very independent and have a good idea of who they are, and what they should say…If I’m pushing myself onto it, I don’t get them at all.”
