    I think most knew that one right away.

    ROCAGIRL, How old are you? I hope your like a teenager or something because if your a grown ass woman then you need to grow the hell up. And everybody needs to get over the sideburns, the comments aren’t funny anymore they are just stupid. She’s fixed the problem and you guys are still giving her a hard time, I don’t see you guys saying that about Chilli who still has hers. Or bringing up B’s sweaty pussy, Alicia’s hairy chest, Ci looking like a man when she first came out. I mean just like those women Ashanti, with the exception of B, fixed her probem. So just get over it already. She made a mistake, she’s human, so why are yall always ganging up on her. Chances are with the sideburns she probably would still look better than most of the people making those comments.

    Go Ashanti and keep doing your thing.

    That is too fuuny that you posted part of a Barney song, what the other little girl dinosouar’s name……..it escapes me. Anyway I know that song,too. I know you have a child or children….that was funny! But I can’t stand Barney’s ass-when I had my daughter’s baby shower (back in 93) I wrote on the invitations NO BARNEY items-LOL!
