‘Ain’t Never Aging’: Ashanti Shuts Down the Internet with Her Ageless Beauty

As always, Ashanti has fans begging for the secret to her youthful glow.

The “Always on Time” singer sent social media into overdrive this week with a few behind-the-scenes shots from her latest photo shoot. A baby-faced Ashanti, 39, posed for the candid snapshots wearing low-cut white tank top and white shorts.

In other pic, she serves up early 2000’s vibes with a side ponytail and huge hoop earrings, all while staring into a TMoblie Sidekick.

“#Mood 📸,” Ashanti captioned the post, shouting out New York photographer Shane Crowley.

It was only a matter of time before fans came to fawn over the singer’s ageless beauty.

“Forever younger than everybody else ….” one fan commented under the photos.

“Shani ain’t never aging,” another chimed in, adding: “Sheeshh … going backwards.”

One user joked that “2002 Ashanti Has Entered The Chat. 😍 Timeless.”

“Come thruuuuuu baby hairs and oiled leg ‼️🥴💙💙💙” wrote another.

The steamy new photos will appear on the cover of singer Tory Lanez new “Chixtape 5,” according to The Source. The new project is set to debut Nov. 15 and promises to deliver true 2000’s era nostalgia.

Lanez, who’s been teasing the release of new music for over a year now,  addressed the mixtape in an Instagram post last week.

“2000 -2006 … I want to personally thank these 6 years for being the MAIN INSPIRATION to the SAMPLES and NOSTALGIA used on #Chixtape5,” the “Say It” singer wrote. “I have never been this hard on the PRODUCTION of any of my albums .. really hope y’all enjoy what I have had the honor of​  enjoying for the last 8 months.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
