‘Thicka Than Peanut Buttah’: Ashanti Busts Out in Green Two-Piece Fit, Fans Swoon Over Her Physique

Age ain’t nothing but a number for legendary R&B songstress Ashanti. The 39-year-old left fans fawning over her Thursday Instagram post as she rocked a two-piece neon green shorts set.

Her crop sweater showcased her toned abs, and her shorts left her thighs and legs exposed. She paired the look with some Air Jordan 1 sneakers, gold hoops, a necklace, and dark shades.

“Greens… 🥬🥦🍃,” the “Rain On Me” songstress captioned the photo.

Fans were here for Ashanti’s fashion-forward outfit and sultry pose. 

“Bamboo wit the name in the middle 💪🏾.”

“I meaaaannnn werk sis. 🔥🔥🔥.”

“What was Terrance Howard thinking treating you wrong in that unfoolish video? 😅👸🏽.”

“It’s the thighs for me😍.”

“Green Queen 👑.”

“All real too🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

“Loving the green on you and ya shoe game always on point.”

“Thicka than peanut buttah 😍.”

The Grammy-award winning singer is no stranger to showing off her body on the ‘Gram, but she did pause those particular posts to bring awareness to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Over the last few weeks, the New York native posted images of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and many other African-Americans who’s lives were cut short due to hatred and police negligence. The singer even attended a protest in NYC and shared her experience with fans.

“The energy is just different,” Ashanti wrote in her Instagram caption. 
“I’ve never protested before nor did I think I would ever have to…. we’ve seen the movies we’ve read the books. I come from a family devoted to making change. My grandfather James Davis walked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in Montgomery Alabama in 1965, and here we are in 2020 fighting the same fight all over the world. The energy is shifting tho. It feels different this time. Enough is Enough. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Whether it’s protesting or putting her curves on display, Ashanti fans seem to never get enough of her.

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.
