Ashanti’s timeless beauty comes days after she shared a photo of herself posing in a white bra-and-panties set. Showing off ample cleavage and her curvy physique, she captioned her post “Boss b–ch whip I pull up cause a frenzy…no scratch on it no Spud no McKenzie..”

Folks drooled over her alluring post.

“Push thru on these b–ches girl 😍✨… go off sis, ” one fan wrote at the time.

Another added, “I would love to touch that sexey body da baddest Eva 😘”

In order for Ashanti to maintain her slim physique, she goes to the gym on the regular and follows a pescatarian diet.

“I don’t eat a lot of meat. I try to stay away from carbs, and I know diet is super essential to being healthy and maintaining and trying to stay fit,” she told Parade in April. “But I do have two cheat days, and I look forward to them every week.”

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.
