‘Bae Bee!’: Ashanti Leaves Fans Lusting Over Her Sweet ‘Red Velvet’ Look

Ashanti is a sight for sore eyes, to say the least.

The “Rain on Me” singer left fans with a sweet tooth this week after showing off her beauty and voguish fashions. She took to Instagram on Tuesday and uploaded a photo of herself wearing a burgundy and white polka dot blouse, velvet pants and black pumps.

Ashanti crossed her legs fiercely, posing it up for the ‘Gram, and added in her caption, ” Red Velvet 🍰…. “A Christmas Winter song” Saturday Dec 14 on @lifetimetv #Ep.”

As of late, Ashanti has been focused on her career and recently announced she’d be executive producing a new Lifetime film titled “A Christmas Winter Song.”

She sat down with E News earlier this week to discuss her new project and getting into the holiday spirit.

“I love Christmas and I have the opportunity to executive produce a film like this,” she said, adding that it was an “amazing experience.”

The film is centered around Ashanti’s character Clio, who befriends homeless musician Fred, played by actor Stan Shaw, after her father passes away. After inviting Fred to work in her shop and “perform for the customers in an act of goodwill,” Clio and Fred both realize they have “family troubles in common.”

The 39-year-old crooner continues to add to her résumé after starring in films “John Tucker Must Die,” “Coach Carter,” “Christmas In the City,” “Stuck,” “Resident Evil: Extinction,” “Army Wives,” and many more.

“A Christmas Winter Song” will premiere on Lifetime on Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

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.
