‘Bloop!’: Watch How Ashanti Curves Bravo’s Andy Cohen After He Asks About Alleged Affair with Irv Gotti

Irv Gotti is a thing of the past and someone Ashanti clearly has no words for after an interview on “Watch What Happens Live” with host Andy Cohen.

During the interview, Cohen asks the “Rock Wit U” singer what she thinks about her alleged former boo Irv Gotti talking to Wendy Williams about the duo’s affair. Instead of stooping to Gotti’s level, the Grammy-award winning singer kept it classy and about her dollars.

“I feel like I have a single out called ‘Pretty Little Thing’ featuring Afro Beat. It’s so hot, I’m on two tours this year, one in the U.S. and one in the U.K., and a movie coming out this Saturday and I’m very excited. Bloop!”

Fans quickly jumped into comments section of the video posted to YouTube and dropped their two cents on the matter.

“That’s right Ashanti pay Irv thirsty A$$ dust”

“Ashanti is real g for that dodge. It’s all about what I’M doing 👏👏👏👏👏🍷”

“Lmao that was a good response about Irv, SCREAMINGGGGGGGG 😩😩”

In early November, the Murder Inc. co-founder sat on Wendy’s purple couch and spilled all the beans he could about his relationship with the former “Princess of Murder Inc.” and longtime Ja Rule collaborator.

“Ashanti is not a home wrecker,” exclaimed the creator of BET’s hit show “Tales” as he explained that the two did have a relationship after he and his wife separated. He went on to further explain that Wendy was the one who exposed the relationship to the public.

Most who watched the interview online left comments about what a cacklefest the segment was, though others had something else to say.

“Every woman has a man tucked way way away that she regrets messing with.”

“He still loves Ashanti he’s still talking about her years after.”

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.
