I was in an abusive relationship when I first saw this video and it was like my relationship . Thank you Ashanti for helping me realize I deserved better and left
lizzyliveslovely617, To God be the glory that rescued you from harm and danger in Jesus name!
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6
Yes jealousy is the worst
Same here
I pray you get out before it's too late 🙏
My girl DEFINITELY deserves more credit than what she’s been getting!
Most DEFINITELY 💐💯💯💯
Pray She hasn't sold her Soul 🙏
She got a Star in Hollywood Now.
I Love her Voice
Deffoo wish he blow with this 💯💯💯
Yes girl! This is a classic. 💁🏾♀️Back when music videos were actually mini movies👩🏾💻. Timeless beauty she's definitely underrated 😭😩💃🏾👑.
True
There's no peace when you're sleeping with the enemy
As an adult this hits different. Toxic love isn't love . Please get out. run.
Women won't get out. They like it. They make choices based off their emotions instead of reality.
True
True
Hush 🤫 girl
God bless you.
who was the Director of this video? He needs to get credit for this master piece.
The G.O.A.T. Hype Williams
he did. they won a few awards for this video
@@feliperamsey5819 whazz up.

Nia long the actress y'all wrong look up she directed it 😂😂😂😂
This song hit different as a adult
June 2024!!! Still Listening!!!
Ashanti was ACTING in her videos! Sis was giving DRAMA, Oscar worthy performances!
Yup. Selling everybody a quick lie. Thank Hollywood and modern feminism.
Facts
She actually use to act lol it’s actually a movie she in when she a main character she like a baby mother tho I can’t remember the name of it tho lol
DRAMA!!!!!
YES
This song made me stand up to my uncle that have being sexually abusing me since I was 7yrs old, the first time I heard this song when it came out then I sense the huge urge to stand up to him and fight him and I’m so glad I did…I still cry to the last part whenever I watch this video, Ashanti walking away and saying it’s over😩🙏.
I am praying for you. Please talk to someone and tell. I didn't. He went on to abuse more.
I'm so glad you're courageous 🙏🏾❤blessings !!!
God bless u love and I hope he gets what he deserves
Pray he is in jail. Why didn't anyone know. My daughter goes with no one, spends the night no where, just like my dad did with me and my sisters. My dad said you won't have that story..
🥺😩🙏🏽
*FOR ALL MEN & WOMEN IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP*
*LET NO MAN/ WOMAN PUT THEIR HANDS ON YOU, OR PUT YOU DOWN*
*THERE ALWAYS A WAAAAY OUT THE VIOLENCE*
*DEDICATED TO MY HOMEGIRL BEAUTIFUL!!*

Yes there is definitely always a way out I had 4 of my sisters go through this type of situation and it hurts my heart every day that one of them is no longer here with me 😞😔😢😞😔😢
#WANETTEDOUGLAS
i agree with you 100 its brayden you should tell that two my ex boyfriend then lol
As a woman I am very thankful my ex got away
Hopefully it ended well with your homegirl and I agree 100%
@@jenniferharden6726 My exbf just pressed dv charges on me for scratches after he put 8 staples in my head. He has 10 DV charges, I have 0. I'm scared. I was defending myself. IDK what to do. I tried so hard. I did. I loved him. He was homeless. I tried to house him and feed him and he did this. :(
Before Jay Z & Beyonce were who they are today, it was Ja Rule & Ashanti. Even though they weren't in a relationship. Murder Inc. was Cash Money/Young Money.
Sure Was #MurderINC
This. Timbaland Aaliyah Magoo Missy. Pharrell Clipse Kelis. Ashanti Ja Rule Jlo Vita. These were real hip hop pioneering partnerships. Modern music fails in comparison
I love Ashanti very much bcoz you've very nice voice,your styles infact have killed me. Ashanti;are you married and if not can you marry an African Man babe???
Factz
Child anyway
As an adult this message really hits home , someone will claim too love you but be JEALOUS and plot on you at the same time. Literally he started disrespecting and manipulating her for chasing her dreams. People be so mad when you get up and do something with you’re life as if they can’t do the same thing , but they won’t because their lazy and just expect something handed to them . Dealing with people like that is soooo Toxic istgggg just walk away it’s not worth it
Men really be jealous over their womans success. crazy as hell.
Facts! That's why you have to be careful of your ENERGY SPACE AD WHO U LET IN BETWEEN YR LEGS OKAY ❤❤❤❤
Ego feeling less than because they aren't doing better than her.
2025 we here Baby in my 80’s 90’s vibe right now
This was one of my favorite Ashanti songs. Man they don't make music like this anymore. So many memories
Memories? How many bad boys abused you?
Girls singers these days just sing bout twerking there string off.. Gutter asf
You my favorite lady of all time lol 😂😂

Ashanti's best work .
She killed this shit.
This song is full of pain. God help victims of abuse in all its forms.
I had this song on repeat forever back when it first came out. Hits different now that im 31. 🥰 It's because I understand where I never wanna be again. I can actually listen to this song and actually relate. It made me stronger letting go. ❤ Being friends after a break up is rare...but I'm one of the lucky ones.
Right!! ❤️
me too i just turned 37 12.20!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same! I am 31 now too and recently got back to listening to Ashanti!!
Right! I’m 31 too and I totally agree.
Ashanti at her best, R&B at its best
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
@@triumphushere1814😅😮🎉😂😂
Hype Williams with a 5 minute "Belly". This vid is fiyah. Larenz played his part. Respect.

June 2024!!! Still Listening!!!
2021... still a hit. Back when videos had an actual storyline 💕💕
Miss those days! 😭🙌🏾Now they all just have strippers or the same setup and little to no acting 😩.
@@shanteli5970 probably cuz that all they can afford 😂 u know how much this set up with ashanti was with the fake rain too n they probably shot this in 2-3 days maybe

They don't make videos like this anymore songs either..MuRder INC.
Murder inc for life
😂
@@LoveMyDaisyGirl911you do know You’re Beautiful enough to get your tongue massaged,tongue ring and all.
Ashanti at her best!! I think this was her best song and video she ever done!!
BROTHA Jeff this and the way that I love you song and video
BROTHA Jeff this is her best video but her best song is probably baby or breakup 2 makeup
Brotha Jeff you are in the comment section on many videos. That's a great thing. You're well known in these UA-cam streets.
in general this is a master' amazing .
It wasnt.. but I loved ashanti back then
That moment where the instrumental played as she walked in the house. 🔥
Oneofbeat
💜💖🤍Congratulations on the baby/engagement Ashanti!💜💖🤍
I heard about that too, I'm so happy for her.❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I pray I never fall for a man that has the mentality of hitting his woman is ok
Don't it's awfull
That's an insecure man who needs to 'control' 'his' woman...I belong to no man other than my God...We choose what we are willing to settle with and for, I'm not willing to do ANYTHING for someone who's not willing to do ANYTHING for me. Peace
***** kiss my ass
+El Diablo it wasn't an offer...n besides, im absolutely positive you couldn't handle this ass son.
Most boys don't cuz they cant....this is a real mans ass.
+El Diablo you wouldn't know a womans ass if it was sitting on ur face son
U got me fuccd up son, you're the misogynist insecure child who was offended by my original post, so move along lil one, go back inside, I hear yo mama callin, nothing to see here. Bye Felicia!!
This will forever be a timeless song! Still go hard in 2022🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm listening..6/9/2023!! I'm 37 now!! Will be 38.. 12/28.. Where my ♑🐐 at!!💯🔥🏳️🙌🏾
I'm here listening 7/1/23 @6:27am 😂
Facts! 2023
2024
This is what a man does when he wants to keep you on at a low level because he can't keep up. It happened to me, I'm glad I got out.
in this video. the man was just jealous of her success. so he was trying to bring her down. by beating her and using her. but towards the end, she came out on top. proved him wrong. that she is the better one. the thing is. this sort of thing happens in real life. that's why i love watching this video. the words is deep.
Thought i was the only one that seen that wen i was so young watching this video on bet..
Yes. But larenze is so fine
@@kenyawalls2255 Yes he is😍😍😍😍❤
Yeah well thug love is what their looking for so ..I've never heard of a nerd putting hands on a woman because she over cooked the chicken..like old people say u get what u ask for in life ..

fasho
The whole album
Yo this video a Whole MOVIE! I am in SHOCK in 2022 at the depth and quality of the visuals and the message in this music video. So much conflict and suspense in contrast to the soft and soulful voice of Ashanti in her PRIME. Whoever directed this did an INCREDIBLE Job
You had to be there lol
@@LuvG0ddess you think i wasnt?
man I was just thinking the same thing. I just made a playlist of some of my favorite music videos that have story lines to them. That was so dope back then. That's why I really loved music videos. Now it's just people standing around in the videos lol R&B singers don't even have choreographed dances in their videos anymore.
Ashanti is tha truth!!! Sis is a legend!!! She deserves all her flowers!!! I am still a fan of hers. I still jam to her all old jams💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
facts
Those cups had him trippin.
Lmfao!!!
😂
🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHHAAH
AHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Sure did!!!!!
The crazy thing is 20 years later Larenz Tate looks exactly the same! Love this song 💕
Damn her vocals+lyrics still give me chills after all these years. 👑
Facts
Sounds good 👍💯💯
I don’t wanna be this woman the 2nd time around 😢
Ashanti always had good videos
Storms?
Flaugin
I love how she said "it's over"...
No words besides the beginning, and brilliant acting...L.T. killed it..
Speak up women. Don't cover up for your friends, lover, husband, brother, father. Honesty and Truth is the way to stop this from happening.
It's crazy how different this Song hits as an adult then when we first heard it as teens
4:57 Ashanti's so stunning with wet hair.
Right!
🙋♂️
This song is sampled from "The Look of Love" by Isaac Hayes, which also was used in a scene in the movie Dead Presidents, starring Lorenz Tate, who’s playing Ashanti’s love interest here.
WooooooooooW
this beat has always been INSANE...the video and imagery is INSANE a TOTAL CLASSIC MASTERPIECE.... ASHANTI IS IMMORTAL xoxo
still one of the best videos ever !
Let's not forget Lorenz Tate ...great actor and person
This song /video hits different now that I’m much older. Seen so many toxics relationships . Pray you find the strength to leave.
Ashanti really spoke to my heart and my life when she sung this song and it's really motivated me and made me more fearless than ever to get out of hellish abusive relationships with family, boyfriends and others that have Done me wrong and never apologized for their wrong doings
This is one of the best Music videos and songs ever made in my opinion. Ashanti was at the top back then.
The way Larenz talked to Ashanti in this video was so creepy.
This is my favorite version of this vid because the acting is so phenomenal.
Larenz is a really, really, really great actor, but abusive relationships are not cool at all.
But did u ever see that full 10 minute version tho!?!
Toxic love is worse than no love. Toxic breaks things that take years to fix.
One of my favorite videos. Larenz did that! I’m glad she showed this side of a toxic relationship. Sometimes your partner be your biggest hater!
This!!!
That moment when she leaves him behind on the red carpet to "spread her wings" always gives me chills. Like, its about to go down. lol
Mochahontas_Slayz in the Red carpet scene She didn’t leave him behind the both supposed to walk but he looks around and gets overwhelmed with so many cameras so he he stayed back and she noticed so she looks at him and he just nods for her to go ahead without him. Then she squints at him to see his face and he looks all scared and she is dissapointed he can’t handle the presssure. So she squeezes her hand to calm her nerves because she knows he is a lame and it shakes her confidence in him.
She is doing her thang, I would have been proud of her point blank !
MBS@@bravegirl6263
No he’s not overwhelmed he was jealous of the attention & appreciation that she was receiving from everyone
She didn't live him. He left her out of jealousy.
This is art. Both Ashanti and the male actor did a great job acting. Filming and editing. Everything was on point. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Larenz Tate
Show some respect,that’s old dog.
@@Sammydreddi lmaoo facts
Larenz Tate.
O Dog A legend
2020 WAS MY BREAKING POINT! I REALLY DIDN'T WANNA FACE SUCH A BROKEN HEART, BUT I HAD TO AN ORDER TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN... SO MANY NITES I HELD MY PILLOW TIGHT ASKING GOD TO TAKE THAT PAIN AWAY... I COULDN'T SLEEP EAT! UNTIL THAT MOMENT CAME I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE💔✨
Amem sis same here 💙
Let's see if you don't end up making the same "mistake" again chosing with your emotions instead of reality.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6
Ashanti deserves some respect. Love her...
They don’t make music videos like this anymore, the acting, editing and cinematography was way beyond a music video, this was a movie
Heard this song my whole life but now as a full grown adult, it hits me hard!!! 😢😢😢 girl leave his punkass! You deserve better!!!!❤❤❤
toxic is just a irregular terminology for people who don’t know how to relate to each other or be friends first before they jump in bed and think having good sex is love and then get married prematurely, without any constellations of love
This song is deep...Damn I miss when music was good.
Love Ashanti and Larenz is aging like fine wine and a great actor!
I love the visuals at 2:55 where his face is distorted into what looks like a monster, The Devil, etc….and there’s an eerie light in his eyes in different parts of the video, almost like he’s fighting his inner demons, which seem to be dominating him…very well done video & song! 🙌🏽💯🎵
I also wonder if this kind of relationship really happened to her?
Facts 🤔
Rain on me Lord please take this pain from me she ain't never lying about that part y'all on some serious stuff Man
A calm woman… is a DANGEROUS woman!
Remember that fellas!
I truly understand the meaning of this song.i was 14 when this song came out. I wasn't even thinking about men. I will still always love him. My son's father. It's like I don't want to be with any one else. So foolish this thing called
In my feelings this morning.
I wish my Aunt could have heard this. When i was 9 she was killed by her estranged EX 2 days before the hearing for the restraining order. He shot his own baby through the head and hitting her in the heart. Please dont wait.
I feel this to my core. Don’t look back and have any regrets, leave while you still can.
Boy do I remember that feeling.
It will be a memory for me soon. At least let's hope so lol
Hey
This and The Way That I Love You are 2 of her most epic drama-themed videoes. I hope we get to see more on her new album....
This song gives me chills as an adult. Thank God i made it out of my 20s. Amen. ❤️
I'm lookin' in the mirror
At this woman down and out
She's internally dyin'
I know this was not what love's about
I don't wanna be this woman
The second time around
'Cause I'm wakin' up screamin', no longer believin'
That I'm gonna be around
And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
And over and over I cried,
And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
And over and over I cried, yeah
I don't know why
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, tell ya just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
See, I don't want to hug my pillow late at night no more
I'm tossin' and turnin' and thinkin' 'bout burnin' down these walls
I don't wanna fuel this fire no more, no more, no more
See, I made up my mind 'cause I've wasted my time
Ain't nothin' here to keep me warm
And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
And over and over I cried,
And over and over I tried
Yet over and over you lied
And over and over I cried,
I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, tell ya just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
I'm so tired of the rain
In my life
And I'm so tired of the strain
And now you're gonna lie
'Cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
This here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by
'Cause sometimes I can't sleep at night and
This here it just don't seem right and
Sometimes I just wonder why I
Almost let my life go by
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, tell ya just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe, tell ya just
Rain on me
Lord, won't you take this pain from me
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
Y'all notice, she didn't leave him when he was physically abusing her, but when He cheat. That's how a lot of females are. He can do anything to her but just don't cheat
A lot of black women have messed up minds and priorities. The first time a man puts his hands on me is the last time. Imma get him locked up, and throw him out permanently. I was more shocked at the fact that she was the rich, successful one and she was letting him do all that shit to her.
True True. I don't understand. My mom was in one and so was one of her friends. My sister's father hit my mother and she hit him back, he never put his hands on her again and she stayed with him a couple more years. My mother friends, last time I heard of him hitting her, he knocked out 3 of her teethes. But when he burst some windows out, she went to the cops! I've never been, and I agree with you.
I just don't understand, and with all that money she making, she could have anyone.
Ayame Thompson Some chicks priorities are just fucked up. That along with crippling low self esteem. That's why it's important to know your worth, and don't stand for bullshit. Draw the line and if he tries to step over it, swiftly let him know just where the fuck he stands. People can only get away with what you allow them to. There's absolutely no reason why a rich, successful woman should be dating gutter trash niggas. Lol what made me angry is that not only is he beating her ass, but he's also cheating? Oh hell no! His ass would get that Al Greene treatment so quick!
I like how you only put this universal phenomenon only on black women. Thanks Sis.

Larenz Yes Lawd
Man this WAS the video!! Tate KILT the acting role and Ashanti KILT this song! Damn where is the 2000s when you need them?lol
I love this song. Because as black women this song hits hard for black women who are successful! We fall in love with those real n.... Who are jealous of us! We succeed and they are hating and abusive! It's about leaving them and going on to succeed!!!! Truth is real?!!
Things are not always as it seems. That's what the video is portraying. Love the music and video
It's 2021 and this was my childhood fave. Now I'm 32
My all time favorite song of Ashanti. It displays a powerful message of dealing with abusive relationships.
No woman deserve to be abused. This song reminded me that I finally realize to get out of a toxic marriage and save my life & kids life.
Miss that Ashanti !!!
Always liked the production of this record.
The way larenz jumped over that sofa though😍😍
😂😂😂😩😩😩
😂😂😂😂
The best of Ashanti, this song took me through some tuff times. Love Larenz Tates!!
Ashanti is so underrated 😭.
Ashanti, Fantasia and Keyshia Coke hand my twenties locked up going through my toxic abusive marriage. These 3 ladies got me through some shiit for real
❤ I love women r&b cause they songs always seem to come from the ❤ soul felt songs...fukn good music
LOVE ASHANTI!! This is one of my favorite songs... She need to come back out
Thought provoking song and video. Love Ashanti always
I love Ashanti. Always have and always will. Really miss music like this. ❣️
Happy Valentines Day
This song helped me thru all of my abusive relationships and I thank God for Ashanti making this song. It helped me find the strength to leave.

This is definently One of her Best Videos!! It always put me in some kinda mood! Very Strong #Salute
This is Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. She tried to tell us when she was alive how jealous he really was, having affairs and hitting her because she was more famous than him. Rest in peace, Whitney Houston, the Queen. 👑
say no to toxic love and domestic violence

Ahhh we ain't never gonna get this no more
