Ashanti Posts a String of Sexy Photos from Birthday Getaway In Antigua, Leaves Fans Enraptured

Ashanti had her fans salivating on Tuesday after she shared a slew of bikini pictures during her 40th birthday getaway to Antigua.

The singer, who was lying on the deck of a yacht and munching on watermelon, wore a silvery cut-out two-piece accessorized with gold earrings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, and anklets. The 40-year-old captioned the Oct. 13 upload, which generated over 183,000 likes, with three Libra emojis — alluding to her zodiac sign — and three party popper emojis. The “Foolish” singer had many fans praising her smoking-hot body and youthful look.

“Ashanti is a natural baddie.”

“It’s the BODY for me 😍.”

“40 where?!? 😍😍.”

“Body goals 😩.”

“She is a walking fountain of youth! The woman does NOT age!!”

The “Coach Carter” actress is used to fans complimenting her bodacious figure. Back in July, Ashanti took millions of her followers back in time while also showing off her curvy body as she wore merchandise from her 2003 album “Chapter II” in honor of the release’s 17th anniversary. The “Rock Wit U” singer wore a tied-up blue shirt that had “Ashanti Chapter II” written on it, and a bucket hat with her name. She paired the look with a yellow drawstring bikini bottom. She captioned the July 2 post, “And still… Chapter II vibes… who remembers the baby T & bucket Merch? 😝😝.”

In an interview with People magazine back in 2019, the singer credited a pescatarian diet and a general awareness of what is going in her body for helping her keep the weight off. “I cut out a lot of meat, I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMOs, and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
