‘Sensational’: Ashanti is All Smiles As She Soaks in Goddess Bath

Ashanti informed her fans on Thursday that “Shantober” was more than just a month, it’s now a lifestyle after the songstress shared an image of herself taking a flower bath.

The Nov. 5 upload shows the model taking part in a goddess bath, which is a spiritual bath that is practiced in different cultures to cleanse the human aura and help the individual feel relaxed. The key ingredients include flowers and water.

The photo shows Ashanti surrounded by bouquets of flowers with her lustrous brown skin and her million-dollar smile gleaming as she slightly touches her cheeks. The singer also gave her fans a closer look into her bathroom by sharing a video with DJ Tunez’s song “Pami,” featuring Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, and Omah Lay, playing in the background. The 33-second clip showcased the colorful flower arrangements placed around her tub that overlooked the beach. The 40-year-old captioned the alluring post “Freshly Imported on 10-13.” Many fans were enamored by the songwriter’s enchanting beauty, while one speculated that rapper Joyner Lucas had something to do with the romantic gesture.

“Flower goddess ❤️.”

“So sensational 😍😍.”

“Perfect everything 💓😍😍😍”

“I love this pic, so colorful! Beautiful🔥.”

“Joyner showing out huh 😂.”

Joyner and Ashanti first sparked relationship rumors back in September after the rapper released his music video for his single “Falling Slowly,” featuring the R&B singer. Throughout the series of clips, the pair, who were portraying a couple in love, had to recreate scenes — which included the duo having steamy make-out sessions — of a toxic relationship meeting its end. These dating allegations have not been confirmed or denied by either party.

Since then, the “Foolish” singer jet-setted to Antigua to celebrate her 40th birthday with her family and friends. The PrettyLittleThing ambassador has been sharing a stream of videos and photos of her time there to millions of her followers.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
