I like how she's so open this time around. I always liked her demeanor because you don't have to expose your ALL, celebrity or not. People need to learn from her.
Great interview, there were some points I wish Ebro would've let Ashanti finish saying what she wanted to say. I also REALLY LOVE how open she was in this interview.
Ashanti's a good girl. Quality woman, very tight knit with her family. I don't know what the hell was wrong with Nelly. It ain't a lot of good women out there. And he just lost one. What an idiot!
I think your being biased talking more from a fans perspective. Nelly is a celebrity and he is a guy. Lots of woman, way hotter than Ashanti throw themselves at him. He is young, rich, and famous what is he going to do...say no "I'm um..with Ashanti". Don't think so. Look at Ashanti, she is a nice girl, rich, but is far from being as hot as the girls who throw themselves at Nelly. It's funny because given her status I'm sure she could land some older, rich gentleman who would appreciate a young hot trophy wife. But as for Nelly, I think it's a matter of "been there, done that...left...came back and did it again...now I'm gone" type of situation. Look at Ludacris, he is young rich and his fiance is in medical school to become a doctor. She isn't rich, but she's smart, and she is one of the hottest woman out there. Mike Jone...what? Mike Jones, he got his girl in law school and she is hot.
It's funny how when a chick is fine the dude is an idiot because they are not together anymore. Maybe she's the idiot. Nonetheless she is no doubt sexy.
I totally agree with you the OP. Real talk, he is crazy. She is gorgeous, funny and has a bubbly personality. I think Nelly can't stand someone else having her which is why he is still bubbling in the picture but at the same time, he still wants to be a player. I would not deal with these crazy industry guys for lovers or boyfriends. Too much heartache
It makes me happy that her Mom is still her manager. I remember in middle school when we had to take sex ed they showed us a video about the "changes we are going to be going through" and Ashanti and her Mom were in it.
I really liked Ashanit/Nelly. Their chemistry was very present. Be nice if they could reunite. However, no one knows their situation better than them, and they know what's best.
Seen this Somewhere:: Nelly and Ashanti been seen PLENTYYY times on red carpets together, events together, Nelly EVEN took Ashanti to T.I and TIny's Wedding. NElly EVEN had Ashanti perform at his Traditional Black And White Party, where she in-fact perform a song and dance on him. Nelly was even the leading male lover in Ashanti's "Good Good" video. Ashanti was NElly's leading lover in his "Body On Me" video. Nelly even said in an interview that he NEVER denied a "relationship" he had with Ashanti, nor did she EVER deny a "relationship" with him and even said that he wanted to see these interviews where they BOTH denied each other OR claimed each other. You NOT gone find one because there isn't one he said. And the reason why he never married her because he said in an interview that he ONLY wants to get married ONCE!, he not the type to get marry more than that and he wanted to wait to be sure. HIm and Ashanti had relationship problems CLEARLY,. Nelly NEVER played Ashanti. And if he did, like nelly said, Show me when or where he PLAYED her.
Ashanti's new single is nice, and the records I heard that she released so far have been nice. Especially for her, for R&B, and it shows her evolution, but staying true to herself. With all the bull we got on the radio now, nobody needs to be talking about Ashanti's new record in any sort of bad way.
Nelly & Ashanti would have been as big as Jay & B and Chris & Rihanna if they had been public with their relationship since 2003 cause they were both at their peaks around that time especially Nelly
Ashanti is totally ignoring the young lady when asked a question by her. This is a classical response when we address our attention to the one we think is most important. This is a habit we have to break, for it happens involuntarily.
This is a year old, but there still good friends, isn't that more than enough? Nelly and Ashanti even said it themselves that the relationship was an "unusual" one. To me, i think the media caused them to break up because they were all up in their business, when they're trying to keep the relationship private. But hey, you got to do what you got to do. :) K Tibaijuka
She laughs like that in EVERY interview. no matter what she's talking about. I think its just her personality. I think its great the woman has a sense of humor
im happy for her i can tell she was holding in all this stuff for so long and she finally was like yu know what f*** it lol im going to tell my side of the story. Great Job proud of you Ashanti cant wait for album
The music business is nothing but a corrupted business. Even though she was big in the early 00's making hits after hits with murder inc. I can tell she was in a dark place of her career during that time. That is what kind of affected her music career since she took a long absence from music after murder inc. But I am glad she is all grown up now and has climbed back. Ashanti is a great artist with great vocals. To bad the music businees is corrupted.
If you listen to Irv and JaRule's interview with Charlamagne , Irv has said that at that time he was high off of Extacy. He was so high at the time that he even threw J-Lo under the bus, that is why when J-Lo talks about her past on tv, she only starts at the point where she got with Diddy and Living Color, not much about Murder, Inc. Also Irv was blacklisted, like he said the Feds told everybody in the business not to work with him. He could not produce for years. I guess people wanted her to stay and wait.
Note what she says at 1:00 - something along the lines of some things went public compared to other things that went public before. I think she is referencing that she knew he was having an affair.
Ashanti or alicia keys who is more beautiful? Hard choice because both are beautiful black queen's!!! Pam grier or bernadette the daughter on good times who is more beautiful? Definitely easily bernadette!!!
So do drug addicts and many people who attack people. It's not all what it seems. There are a lot of people in jail with serious mental defects which are not treated. Mental institutions are all but abolished now a days and all that's left is imprisonment. Prisons are nothing but private businesses where a few people make most of the money. It's not about help, it's about profit.
U could be right, but I think ppl feel differently when it is them that it being stalked... sure he's just a stalker with a mental condition but u r violating my life so I don't know which one is the right place for them.
no they need ti go jail you need to know your doing to much thats how they end up killing or harming people... you look like one on the real sort it out
It's almost 2014 and we're talking about Irv Gotti! He needs to revive his career and stop complaining about Ashanti. She's got it right now and he doesn't. He should be on the come up and stop complaining about the past.
As soon as they stopped making money, she left…out her own mouth. That's not loyalty. The fact that Irv is salty and she's not shows that she wasn't riding. You can hide EVERYTHING in your personal life from people for 10 years, but don't expect the fans who pay you to trust what you say or connect with you on a personal level.
She was with the Inc AFTER the stop making money. She was the only to release an album on that label after 06. She left because Irv went around saying she wasn't loyal because she wanted to do her album on her own. But whatever
***** Exactly! ppl always label themselves under a zodiac as to say, thats the platform for ALL when its not..The Libras I know are cool but have disloyalty about them as well..but thats only for ones I know personally, that doesn't speak for all..good point.
No offense to Ashanti but I will be damned if I be with someone for 9 years and get dumped. He would have got four years and that's it, no ultimatums nothing just do you want to get married one day, and he say no and I'm out.
Irv just bitter because Ashanti doing her thing. I mean the only one relevant from the Inc is Lloyd who jumped ship when it sank. Where are Tah, Black Child, Vita etc?v
WHEN THE FEDS CAME AT THEM, NIGGAS WAS REALLY PAYIN ATTENTION TO WHO SLID AWAY FROM MURDA INC 'CLOSELY'. EVERYBODY CANT TAKE THAT KIND OF PRESSURE. SHE IS STILL A SWEETHEART, AND BADD AS EVER AND U CAN SEE SHE IS HAPPY IN HER LIFE NOW. DAS ALL THAT MATTERS.
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING EBRO IS SAYING AS A FAN STILL 2DAY BUMPING ASHANTI N JaRuleVEVO MUSIC I WILL LUV 4 THEM 2GET BACK 2GETHER N MAKE SUM HITS.I NEVA GIVE UP ON MURDER INC ESPECIALLY JARULE..I BELIEVE DE 90'S N DE BEGINNING 2000'S IS WEN DE BEST MUSIC WAS CREATED..N IF U CAN FEEL N BUMP ANY MUSIC 10-20'S LATA THATS WEN U NO ITS DAMN GUD MUSIC..SO YALL MAKE IT HAPPEN #BEST OF WISHES 2 U'ALL
Wow this is the first time I've ever heard her be so open about their relationship
yeah but they had to squeeze it out of her, she was being vague AF
I love how L. Styles checked on Ashanti’s well being with the “do you feel comfortable”? 😂🔥❤️
She is very indirect. Her laughing actually gives the answer away.
Her and Ja OWNED the radio way back when and all they singles was bangers! This new single she got out is lukewarm on the surface....smh
I like how she's so open this time around. I always liked her demeanor because you don't have to expose your ALL, celebrity or not. People need to learn from her.
Ashanti's laugh is so cute! She's always laughing like what's being said or done is THAT hilarious lol
I love how open she is during this interview. She's so beautiful and humble I wish she got more respect or credit.
ashanti will always b one of my favorite R&B singers
Me too
I love how open and genuine she is!! Nothing to hide and not too secretive love her!
Ebro is so mesmerized by her. I could tell.
I would be to lol
Her new song "I Got It' is a smash tho.. It's for sure the best 've heard from her since 'The Way That I Love You'
Ebro is a clown. Irv didn't protect her from his fugazi shady ass dealings. She lost her position in the R&B game due to Irv's fuckups.
Yeah... The industry and music game in general really experienced a downfall due to their demise. If you look back in retrospect, it's so clear.
Ashanti definitely would have been huge than she already was if it wasn't for the murda inc drama!!!
Great interview, there were some points I wish Ebro would've let Ashanti finish saying what she wanted to say. I also REALLY LOVE how open she was in this interview.
It sounds like Irv was extremely jealous of Ashanti's relationship with Nelly as if there was something going on between Ashanti and Irv. Hmmm... 🤔
(MaribeLvega).vevo)
Dora Winifred Reed yes Irv is jealous and talks shit about nelly but not to his face but on social media
aroundtheworlda hey but he ain't fucking her no more
True
aroundtheworlda
Oh Please
How Nelly just let Ashanti walk off like that, she's a keeper. Maybe she didn't know how to cook lol.
lmao!
lol
aroundtheworlda hater type shit bye! she getn Arab money have a seat
Maybe HE just didn't know what he had, like most men....
it's been 10years.It's been 15 years.Their tired of each other
I love her. Still the same she ain't changed,she need to hurry up with that album though cause I need that.
It's 🗑️
Great Job Hot 97, This Interview had flow and was informative. I always thought Ashanti was a little dull , great to see her maturity.
Zombie Cosmonaut queen ashanti is the shyt!!!
Ashanti's a good girl. Quality woman, very tight knit with her family. I don't know what the hell was wrong with Nelly. It ain't a lot of good women out there. And he just lost one. What an idiot!

Look at Ludacris, he is young rich and his fiance is in medical school to become a doctor. She isn't rich, but she's smart, and she is one of the hottest woman out there.
Mike Jone...what? Mike Jones, he got his girl in law school and she is hot.
*****
Actually I'm not, when I wrote that I think I was just having a guy moment. I'm not okay with anyone disrespecting another person...guy or girl.
It's funny how when a chick is fine the dude is an idiot because they are not together anymore. Maybe she's the idiot. Nonetheless she is no doubt sexy.
Nelly was bugging, and is bugging. Wow.
I totally agree with you the OP. Real talk, he is crazy. She is gorgeous, funny and has a bubbly personality. I think Nelly can't stand someone else having her which is why he is still bubbling in the picture but at the same time, he still wants to be a player.
I would not deal with these crazy industry guys for lovers or boyfriends. Too much heartache
It makes me happy that her Mom is still her manager.
I remember in middle school when we had to take sex ed they showed us a video about the "changes we are going to be going through" and Ashanti and her Mom were in it.
LOL what the hell?
I remember that sex ed video too
@@sickvisionz yoooo WTF, thas some WILD shyt like wuutt
Ebro is mighty thirsty.
Ashanti's Christmas movie was adorable. She has managed to have longevity in this industry and keep a job...which is hard to do.
i am ashanti fan, but ever since she left murder inc, she's not been the Ashanti like when she was in murder inc..
I really liked Ashanit/Nelly. Their chemistry was very present. Be nice if they could reunite. However, no one knows their situation better than them, and they know what's best.
Seen this Somewhere:: Nelly and Ashanti been seen PLENTYYY times on red carpets together, events together, Nelly EVEN took Ashanti to T.I and TIny's Wedding. NElly EVEN had Ashanti perform at his Traditional Black And White Party, where she in-fact perform a song and dance on him. Nelly was even the leading male lover in Ashanti's "Good Good" video.

HIm and Ashanti had relationship problems CLEARLY,. Nelly NEVER played Ashanti. And if he did, like nelly said, Show me when or where he PLAYED her.
every question she bursts out laughing -_-
It could be nerves or embarrassment. You don't know how she's feeling.
Ashanti's new single is nice, and the records I heard that she released so far have been nice. Especially for her, for R&B, and it shows her evolution, but staying true to herself. With all the bull we got on the radio now, nobody needs to be talking about Ashanti's new record in any sort of bad way.
Damn Ebro is good with them questions and reading in between the lines ain't he....?....
Ashanti is beautiful. Keep doing your thing!
That's one fine piece of woman!!!
AMEN! Black women r just yum...without trying!
L Styles dress like she in Nina Sky from like 2003
Nelly & Ashanti would have been as big as Jay & B and Chris & Rihanna if they had been public with their relationship since 2003 cause they were both at their peaks around that time especially Nelly
keep it real Ashanti.. I love her for that reason
Think this might be here best interview ever. Loving the kind, yet honest way she has coming off.
Love Ashanti 💖
She's still human guys , no need to put her whole life out there for all you haters !
Yall gotta do your research Hot 97......you didn't ask about Army Wives!!! I'm happy for Ashanti. Glad you're back.
I love her. Shes a beautiful person inside n out
This the type of interview I be wanting
Im glad shes being more open in this interview...
I luv the way she laughs
Roscoe Morris you ok !!!! That what ruins her
Ashanti is totally ignoring the young lady when asked a question by her. This is a classical response when we address our attention to the one we think is most important. This is a habit we have to break, for it happens involuntarily.
I am shocked Ashanti is talking so frankly about the Nelly situation.
Wow.
This is a year old, but there still good friends, isn't that more than enough? Nelly and Ashanti even said it themselves that the relationship was an "unusual" one. To me, i think the media caused them to break up because they were all up in their business, when they're trying to keep the relationship private.

Great interview
she laughs a lot to cover her embarrassment
That's just her personality, she does that in a lot of Interviews....
She laughs like that in EVERY interview. no matter what she's talking about. I think its just her personality. I think its great the woman has a sense of humor
I don't think it's embarrassment but nervousness.. I do it a lot too...
She talks around the subject a lot, just be straight up
I LOVE Ashanti but this hair is killing me right now Smh
I like her hair like this
me too thats why i don't do the part not to much on the side the flip over part is annoying
She got OG Ebro SPRUNG FOREAL, SHE'S GOOD VIBES AND ALWAYS BEEN.
im happy for her i can tell she was holding in all this stuff for so long and she finally was like yu know what f*** it lol im going to tell my side of the story. Great Job proud of you Ashanti cant wait for album
Listening to Braveheart brought me here! I love the album and the track Scar is a bomb asssss song! KEEP IT UP BOO!
Ashanti is so fine. Goddamn i love women
+HNB18 --closet case nigga...
HNB18 If the bra fits...
Begley's Shizzle Gotta dissapoint you homie, aint attracted to men. Maybe you be more succesful in the future
HNB18 LOL I was just joking around bro. Wasn't any offense meant... lol.
Begley's Shizzle I know i know, just talking trash. lol
Personally, if I was a celebrity, I would never discuss my personal life. You have to have some personal time.
Sometimes you need to address an issue. Like she said it being one sided.
The music business is nothing but a corrupted business. Even though she was big in the early 00's making hits after hits with murder inc. I can tell she was in a dark place of her career during that time. That is what kind of affected her music career since she took a long absence from music after murder inc.

Also Irv was blacklisted, like he said the Feds told everybody in the business not to work with him. He could not produce for years. I guess people wanted her to stay and wait.
It's about time Ashanti gives her side of the story as far as Irv and Murder Inc goes.
Ebro is very good at interviewing
Always loved her personality! Gr8 artist too get them coins!
Note what she says at 1:00 - something along the lines of some things went public compared to other things that went public before. I think she is referencing that she knew he was having an affair.
Dat make up is the worst
ariana harrison
Stop the madness
She's wearing tew much makeup
@JessBusiness girl hush I love Ashanti and she’s naturally beautiful! Her makeup artist just went a little heavy that day.
8 years and STILL beautiful!
Ashanti or alicia keys who is more beautiful? Hard choice because both are beautiful black queen's!!! Pam grier or bernadette the daughter on good times who is more beautiful? Definitely easily bernadette!!!
I'm hoping to hear Ashanti & JaRule rip up the airwaves again. They really made good music!!!
I'm so glad she is opening up about her life we just want to know a little.
Does anyone think Murder Inc. will ever see the glory days again? I don't.
I enjoyed this interview.
i still dont know where kfoxx is...
Two words: bobby pin
LaTurcaAmericana I don't get it
u l She keeps adjusting her hair away from her face throughout the interview - hence a Bobby pin would help
LaTurcaAmericana omg yesss
the stuff about the stalker is really serious, they need to lock him up for a looooong time
Stalkers shouldn't be put in Jail. They should be sent to a mental institution. They need help not punishment.
lots of ppl have been killed by stalkers, he crossed the line by coming too close to her family..
So do drug addicts and many people who attack people. It's not all what it seems. There are a lot of people in jail with serious mental defects which are not treated. Mental institutions are all but abolished now a days and all that's left is imprisonment. Prisons are nothing but private businesses where a few people make most of the money. It's not about help, it's about profit.
U could be right, but I think ppl feel differently when it is them that it being stalked... sure he's just a stalker with a mental condition but u r violating my life so I don't know which one is the right place for them.
no they need ti go jail you need to know your doing to much thats how they end up killing or harming people... you look like one on the real sort it out
And now Irv Gotti just confirmed he was with Ashanti while she was with Nelly... 😕
_"I'm a libra."_
Once I heard that I tuned out... Sorry.
😂😂😂
She bad as heck tho. That stalker dude is insane lol
Irv was jealous of Nelly. I mean, look at Nelly and look at Irv......can you blame him. LOL.
she is HeLLa BAD!!! Love her laugh lol
Why the fuck she gotta laugh like that though?...HAAA...HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! LOLOL
I want a Nikita and Ashanti story
It's almost 2014 and we're talking about Irv Gotti! He needs to revive his career and stop complaining about Ashanti. She's got it right now and he doesn't. He should be on the come up and stop complaining about the past.
braveheart was BOMB! it was overshadowed by beyonces' surprise visual album... I loved it!!
Beyoncé lil nigga Beyoncé
Bey came out before tho
She's fine as Heaven
Amazing woman. I love her
dag i think if the media could of stayed out their relationship they prob would of been good
As soon as they stopped making money, she left…out her own mouth. That's not loyalty. The fact that Irv is salty and she's not shows that she wasn't riding. You can hide EVERYTHING in your personal life from people for 10 years, but don't expect the fans who pay you to trust what you say or connect with you on a personal level.

Ashanti's Hair
Ashanti's Lipstick
***** Exactly! ppl always label themselves under a zodiac as to say, thats the platform for ALL when its not..The Libras I know are cool but have disloyalty about them as well..but thats only for ones I know personally, that doesn't speak for all..good point.
Yes Libras can be very disloyal.
No offense to Ashanti but I will be damned if I be with someone for 9 years and get dumped. He would have got four years and that's it, no ultimatums nothing just do you want to get married one day, and he say no and I'm out.
Alexandra Baker
How you know he dumped their people always making assumptions he never said that
Ashanti is still being booked for interviews? How n 4 what? Hot 97 interviews are like the Maury Povich audience!!!

ashanti caught a wild ebro in the thirst trap....
After she said u hurt...Ashanti didnt wanna look her way...love u Ashanti
Not sure where this video came from and why it was on my feed but it was very interesting. Seating is kinda awkward and Ebro needs to stay on point.
WHEN THE FEDS CAME AT THEM, NIGGAS WAS REALLY PAYIN ATTENTION TO WHO SLID AWAY FROM MURDA INC 'CLOSELY'. EVERYBODY CANT TAKE THAT KIND OF PRESSURE. SHE IS STILL A SWEETHEART, AND BADD AS EVER AND U CAN SEE SHE IS HAPPY IN HER LIFE NOW. DAS ALL THAT MATTERS.
Lol stop hating haters. This lady is beautiful she stays in her lane and she handles her business why be mad?
my girlfriend completely ruined my life. The girls I'm friends with made my life worth living.
I thought my phone froze at 01:07
