‘Motha Didn’t Come to Play’: Ashanti Dazzles in All White, Leaving Fans Speechless

Ashanti and her fashion sense are apparently never less than stellar.

The “Rain on Me” singer showed up and showed out on social media this week with her drippy all-white attire. She sported a white, one-shoulder blazer dress by Dolce & Gabbana with one side adorned with silver sequining. She complemented the ensemble with tan open-toe heels and opted for a super glam makeup look and long black wavy tresses.

She captioned one of her Instagram photos of herself posing in front of a black and white painting “Patience & Purpose..” and added a vanilla ice cream cone emoji to another.

The “Good Good” singer said she’s big on eating healthy and exercising regularly. She told People magazine last week that she follows a mostly pescatarian diet and cut out the majority of her meat intake.

“I cut out a lot of meat,” she said. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMOs and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

Her lifestyle change has caused her to switch to natural deodorants, toothpastes and other products. She admitted, “I’m kind of a weirdo with that stuff,” adding that it’s part of her approach to health.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
