: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that Ashanti’s Mom is blocking rapper Nelly. When asked by In Touch magazine whether she was ready for Ashanti and Nelly to get married, she responded, "I'm not ready for that!”
Mama … you already ruined Ashanti’s singing career …. No need to ruin her personal life also…
Ashanti's mom needs to realize it's not her life it's Ashanti's. She can't live her life through her daughter. She's not managing Ashanti's career she's trying to make it about her. What's the last song Ashanti put out that you are still humming today? When was Ashanti's last tour? Anyone? Beside's John Tucker must die which was horrid; what other movie has Ashanti been in that has even left a faint impression? Nothing. Zip Zilch, Nada. I'm not hating on Ashanti. I think she's beautiful, but Ashanti needs to get her "Grown Woman" swagger on and cut loose the apron strings.
MTO, y'all reading too much into nothing. She said that she isn't ready for that, meaning marriage. Not to Nelly, but for her baby to take the plunge down the aisle. Ashanti's whole *** family was kicking it in St. Louis during Nelly's recent Black and White ball. They adore him. Let's do better MTO.
this girl is grown as all outdoors how is it that just because she's ashanti's manager she feel she can control this girl's love life. Ashanti is practically in love with Nelly and he probably feels the same. Her mother don't seem to have a life of her own so maybe she don't want ashanti to have one. She's not all that attractive to me anyway and I never really cared for this woman, but she's a sweetheart though. I think if she wants to really be a big inspiration to ashanti she need to fall back and let ashanti be the grown woman that she is and experience falling in love. If any mistakes gone be made then as a parent she needs to just let her make them because that's the only way ashanti gone know if Nelly was the right man for her.
Her mother dresses more provacatively than she does! For goodness sake. Is she another Dina Lohan?
As for Nelly, I don't care how much money he has I wouldn't want my daughter to marry him either. He's unstable, doesn't seem to commit and how many children does he have? Some people can overcome the issues with their childhood but Nelly doesn't appear he has or he'd be committed to one of the mothers of his children.
ashanti you go gurl i should say women you are a strong black beautiful women and you and only you know whats good for you our parents lived there lives and lets pray that yours not trying to live hers through yours we are not perfect people if we were what would the world be like a fairy tale and lord no we dont need dat so live your life your mom already lived hers congrats trust me the world love you guys together you career not over you can do what ever you like or just let your hubby bring it to you since your mom say nelly messed you career up is she gonna take care of you no she already raised you and nine times out of ten you looked out for her sorry mom you just have to let go and trust the work you did on raising ashanti and the picture speaks for it self
It's funny how some of you are on here saying things like Ashanti's mother needs to mind her own affairs and stay out of her GROWN daugther's business but with Usher and his mother, you wanted to crucify Tameka,Come to think off it I hardly heard anyone mentioning anything about it being Usher's life and he's a grown man so his mother just needs to go sit her azz down somewhere. What a bunch of hypocrites
UM TINA, IMMA NEED YOU TO GO GET YOUR OTHER CHILD, SHIA OR WHATEER HER NAME IS, THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN SEEN WEARING A *** FOR A DRESS AND SHOWING OFF HER DIMPLED THIGHS ALL IN THE CLUB AND ON THE INTERNET, YEAH MAYBE YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE ONE THATS SCREAMING OUT FOR ATTENTION, AND LEAVE THIS GROWN WOMAN ALONE TO HER BUSINESS... SIDE NOTE WUSSUP WITH THESE CHICKS NAMED TINA THAT ONLY DOTE ON THE OLDER MORE FAMOUS SIBLING??
OF COURSE HER MAMA IS GONNA HATE ON NELLY! IF ASHANTI MARRIES NELLY THEN MOST LIKELY ASHANTI WILL BE ATTENDING ANY PREMIERES, PARTIES, AND OTHER SOCIAL EVENTS WITH HER HUSBAND AND NOT WITH HER MOMMA ANYMORE. MAMA IS NOT TRYING TO GIVE UP THE LIMELIGHT TO SOME BANDAID WEARING FOOL FROM THE LOU! MAMA IS RIDING THIS ASHANTI FAME TRAIN UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF!
WELL I DON'T THINK EITHER ONE OF THEM HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NELLY MARRYING ASHANTI..I DOUBT HE'S MARRYING ANYONE..NELLY IS RICH, BLACK, AND QUITE SEXY..THESE RICH GOOD LOOKING BROTHERS DON'T WANT WANT WIVES..THEY WANT MORE MONEY AND RANDOM ***..WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT BEAUTIFUL WOMEN..THAT'S JUST REAL TALK!!!
@ ASHANIT'S MAMMIE...
WHO GIVES A F'UCK ABOUT WHAT YOU DONT WANT THAT GIRL TO DO! YOUR DAUGHTER IS A GROWN-*** ***! SHE CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS!!! JUST *** THE F'UCK UP AND LET YOUR DAUGHTER LIVE HER LIFE. STOP TRYING TO LIVE THE YOUR KIDS LADY!!!
@ ASHANTI...
A ***! LEARN HOW TO BOSS-UP! OK! STOP LETTING YO MAMMIE RUIN S'HIT FOR YOU! OK GIRLFRIENDDDDD....DUECES~~
Not to be disrespectful to her or her mother, but- WOW! She really doesn't look ALL that pretty in this particular photo. She actually looks like a man- to be honest.
Also, mother's do want the best for their daughter's but, in this case Ashanti's mother and her label has done nothing but caused her to be a "WONDER" and a "NON-SINGER ARTIST". She unless she wants to continue to lose her daughter.. Tina better back up cause Ashanti is a grown azz woman!
@Anti-dumb: Why must you come on here and start sh!t everbody!? I didn't ask you or nobody else to agree with me, if my memory serves me right I have that right to excerise it!!
So I am needing for you fallback off of my azz, please cause everytime YOU say something it ain't never right, or someone is clowning the fcuk out of you. So I strongly suggest to you leave me alone cause I DO NOT FEEL GOOD!! and I will be forced to say something that I must regret.
Oh and btw, WTF does MTO have to do with me?! What Fred goin do? I am commenting like everybody else; also, in MY OPINION she does, and Ashanti's career was already in the hole.
@antidumb ive had it with you messin with my extended (especially foxy90210-my love) mto family so i have somethin to say to YOU LADY!! you are not about to get an educated response from me i dont have time for that....but what i do have is a particular set of skills..skills gained from an illustrious career of "doin it"..skills that make me a *** for women like you...if you leave them alone that'll be it..it will be over...but if you dont I WILL APPEAR...i will find you.......and i will knock the bottom out of it......(awaits answer-if indeed you are female).......
listen TO YOUR MOM ***..
Mom has her best interest--and WE don't know *** or what goes down behind the scenes--HER MOM does..
And once your children are adults, the best thing you can do for them is be their friend..So enough with those ignorant comments..
Ride with your mom as you always do Ashanti--way better than hangin with some opportunistic females--trying to be you, use you or hatin on you.. She loves you and you won't have to worry about these jealous woman and snakes..because she'll watch out for you, and wont be selling you out.
-------------------------- always keeping my distance, from hatin females..
@whateveruwant2say, shanni's mom been using her from the gate, i really think her moms is trying to live her life through her. whatever happened to shanni's pops? dude disappeared. just like New York's pops did. moms was lovin' the limelight and she was rude to everybody like she the one doin' the singin' and i even think she was gettin' down with Irv on the sly. true story when my girl met them at O'hare airport, she said Ashanti was very sweet in person, but her moms was blowin' people off, and was rude as hell. that don't sound like a mother knowin' best to me, it sounds like a jealous stagemom tryin' to ride her *** 'til the wheels fall off.
One of the reasons the divorce rate is so *** high here in the states is because of the rebellious spirit that resides in so many. I am not saying anyone is always a 100% right, but most of the time parents can see in someone what "love" blinds you to. I trust my parents judgement enough because they are rational people to the extent which if I were to get married and they thought "something aint right," I will not get married. So many people so stuck on proving people "wrong" and "doing what they want to do" that it oftentimes comes at a great expense later on. But you don't need binoculars to see this one. I guarantee no matter if she got the "good good" he is cheating on her. Women throw themselves at him constantly and I doubt he has the willpower to always turn them down and some of these chicks are real ridiculous with it. All the best. What is to be will be.
Who cares what she wants?
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that between 1 million and 3 million women in America are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend each year.
Every day, on average, three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. At some point in our lives, 25 percent of American women will report being physically abused or raped by intimate partners, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Nelly and Ashanti have been together over 4yrs. If he hasn't married her by now he never will and my homegirl [EXPLETIVE]*d him when he came to Tampa back when he was a nobody and she said the *** is alright Nelly is a real freak so that's why Ashanti is with him because any woman that *** with Irv Gotti (a married man) is as freaky as they come.
@ G-Sword if a woman is with a man for over 4 yrs. that's more than enough time to get to know someone and plan a life together and have kids(So with that being said a RING is well deserved)If your a man I would EXPECT you to be predictable and say that,but if your a woman and you've been with a man over 4 yrs. and he hasn't proposed you a *** fool.
'I'm not ready for that'
Of course Tina Douglas knows wayyyyyyy more about her daughter's relationship with Nelly then we ever will...(or even care to know ). And Ashanti herself, has said...'Not yet', in regards to her getting married. Ashanti herself, has said that her true goal in life is to get married and have a bunch of babies.....I think that NELLY is the one who is not ready to commit....and mama Tina, and most importantly, Ashanti, realize this.
Nelly may NEVER be ready to settle down and get married..and they have invested over 5 yrs in a relationship..the clock is tickin'...she's sittin' on these eggs that she wants to be hatched...she has a career that has been put on hold for 4 yrs..due to *** beyond her control.(can you say Irv Gotti)...and an album that flopped...It may be time to 'do the math'...and tell this beautiful man, from St Louis, to put a ring on her 3rd finger left hand and...jump that broom !!!!!......In other words....'Love me, or Leave me !!
