‘Thighs Never Fail’: Ashanti Proves She’s ‘Thick as Grits’ by Showing Off Her Curves in This Sexy Pic

Ashanti oozed sex appeal this month after showing off her flawless beauty and hourglass figure.

The 39-year-old crooner performed at the Golden 1 Center arena in Sacramento, California, on Dec. 7 and gave her fans more than enough to look at. She took the stage wearing a black tank top and matching leather pants, a Fendi fur coat and gunmetal body chain.

Ashanti accessorized her onstage look with oversized silver hoops and bone-straight black tresses. Looking off to one side and posing with her hand on her hip, the “Rain on Me” singer showed off her bodacious figure.

During an interview with Buzzfeed in 2017, Ashanti claimed she was learning to embrace her body as is even as she tries to stayin tip-top shape.

“I’m embracing who I am naturally,” she said. “I work with an herbalist, I do detoxes, I juice. … I’m heavy with my kales and ginger, it’s very important to be aware of what you’re putting in your body.”

She also opened up to Parade back in April and dished the tea on her current fitness routine.

“I try to get four to five days in a week with my trainer,’ she said. ‘We do weight training, cardio, running. … Sometimes [my trainer] has me work on mobility, other times endurance, and then we’ll go for strength. I think it’s important to mix it up and hit different parts of your body.”

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.
