‘Lawd Have Mercy!’ Ashanti Has Fans Drooling Over Her Photo In Pink Latex Dress

R&B artist Ashanti seems to be serving fashion and body goals all of 2019 so far.

The “Rain on Me” singer took to Instagram on Thursday and shared a photo of herself posing for a portrait in New York City, New York. She modeled in front of a wall of graffiti while donning a body-hugging hot-pink latex dress, with matching pumps and a pair of pink-colored aviator sunglass frames. She also flossed her short sandy-blonde tresses to pull the look together.

In the image, Ashanti slightly tilted her body, arched her back and showed off her curvy side. She also added a pink and blue lollipop emoji in the caption.

Fans gawked over the star’s alluring pose and “sexy” latex ensemble that accentuated her curvy figure.

“Lawd have mercy!” one fan exclaimed. “She thicker than a snickers 🔥.”

“You feeling yourself mama ….. And rightfully so! Pretty in Pink 😘😍 #bubblegumbaddie,” a second fan added.

“Ashanti!! Girl!!! 😍😍😍 you’re out here aging like fine exquisite wine lawdy! Pink paradise!,” another commented.

In the past, the 38-year-old spoke about how important it was for her to stay in shape. During an interview with Buzzfeed in Nov. 2017, Ashanti dished the deets to fans on how she keeps her body “snatched.”

ashanti“For me it’s about eating healthy and taking care of yourself,” she told the news outlet. “I’m embracing who I am naturally so I go to the gym and work with an awesome trainer, I work with an herbalist I do detoxes, I juice. I’m heavy with my kales and ginger, it’s very important to be aware of what you’re putting in your body.”

As far as fashion goes, Ashanti recently partnered with Miss Circle to release her “swaggy” fashion line that offers customers 21 pieces that range in prices from $19 to $199.

“My motto has always been to stay classy and sassy and sexy, not trashy,” the singer told Page Six in January. “I think that I always try to inspire women to be bosses and demand respect. You can still be sexy and swaggy and be the boss.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
