‘Cut Up Beautiful’: Ashanti Shuts It Down in Red Minidress

Singer Ashanti is forever going up on the ‘Gram with her stylish photos and a face beat by some of the most coveted hands in the makeup industry.

Whether in a bikini, pantsuit, or a short dress, the former “Princess of Murder Inc. Records” always serves a look that leaves fans drooling.

Even the luxury high-fashion brand had to post a video of the singer to its Instagram, captioning it “ASHANTI is pure PERFECTION.”

Despite enduring a recent foot surgery, which resulted in her wearing a boot decked out with Chanel brooches, not even her medical footwear could get in the way her flaunting her thighs.

“The swag will not be denied!!”

“Mannnnnn even that boot is sexy 😍😍😍😍😍”

“With the bootie on and all. Still hit that pose 👑”

“Foot surgery in Nov but nothing stop miss Ashanti shes unstoppable ❤️❤️❤️ “

During the “Watch What Happens Live” interview, Nelly’s former love interest dodged questions about BET “Tales” creator Irv Gotti who said on “Growing Up Hip Hop: New York” and later “The Wendy Williams Show” that he dated the singer in the 2000s.

She promptly responded by plugging her latest single and upcoming tour forever keeping it cute for the camera.

“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!”

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.
