Photographed high above Gotham, Ashanti covers Page Six Magazine this week. The singer spoke on her “competition” and gave Rihanna some props.
“I’d hear a song on the radio and wish mine was next. But I respect a lot of the artists who’ve come along since I was out, especially Rihanna. She’s smart and she’s worked the business instead of having the business work her.”
Ashanti also spoke about some wedding plans…
“I’ve been planning my wedding in my head since I was a little girl, and it just keeps getting more elaborate. I’m a huge fan of the Caribbean, so if I don’t get married in New York, it would have to be on the beach.”
International superstar/entrepreneur Jay-Z covers the upcoming special 15th anniversary juice issue of VIBE Magazine. Word is there are 3 other special edition covers in rotation, so look out for those.
Ashanti looks cute…
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT JAY-Z!
NIGGA GOT ME DIEIN FROM THAT SMUG ASS PICTURE!

And why does it seem that Beyonce comes up in ever post conversation?
She wasnt even mentioned in the text.lol

@59 Its His Money Bee Probably Sees Him As A Pretty Cool Dude Good Friend Lays It Down Suga Mama Style But The Average Chick Knows Nothing Of His Personality So Money Is His Ticket Beatiful Women If He Is Still Tapping Other Things…. I Read Somehwere Somebody Said That Bee Has More Money Power And Fame Than Jay.. Um I Like Them Personally As A Couple They Mesh Well.. But Give That A Damn Break Jay Has Been Breaking Banks Since Before Bee Went Solo Not A Jayz Fan But Damn I Respect Each And Every Entrepreneur Hustle He’s Damn Near At Or Past Diddys Level He’s Just Not Any Asshole With His Money… And Please People Dont Go By The Forbes List Because #1 The List Changes Every years Beacuse Its On THAT Year 2# That’s How Much They Earned Before Taxes Eat Their Asses Up! 3# Its Gross Income AKA Rough Estimate Unless I See Bank Statements My Opinion Stands!
rihanna stans are a trip. everybody jacks from the legends but the difference between them and rihanna is that rihanna jacks from her peers. fefe dobson was one of her peers and she jacked everything from her haircut to her clothes. for that i will never respect rihanna. if fefe dobson was so irrelevant then her name would not be brought up on every rihanna topic. people know that that is where rihanna got her look from so obviously fefe dobson is relevant enough.
anyway ashanti looks good on the cover. dont worry girl you are way better than rihanna. she is not your competition. beyonce is.
jay looks good on the cover even though that is not his best pic.
Ashanti looks so freaking good in that cover…and yesssssssssssssssss her album is out…its titled “the declaration” and it is one of the best albums she hs ever done…its one of the best r&b albums this year…deadass…..she is very positive and don’t let no one pull her down..go ahead Ashanti…ur the best…no one can touch you
#62 aka the rihanna stan.
Wth are you talking about. damn what the hell do Bey and Jay status have to do with anything? We all know Bey is more famous and successful and Jay has more money and that they were both successful way before they got together so we dont need no long ass paragraph about some bs you talking about. Worry about Rihanna and stay out of Jay and Bey bizz that you know nothing about. Bey got her own millions and you dont know why she with him so stop saying it’s his money like you know. You dont know a damn thang.
@ Cheflynn
That’s because she is the hottest chick in the game. She is talked about every day.
Ashanti and Jay both look good on their covers.
@ 65 SHUT THE FUCK OFF RIP! i didnt say bee was with jay for his money nowhere in that paragragh did i say that + that comment was somebody else i answered their question in the first sentence then i said my girl who like him look his money not looks and you speak and bee’s millions and diss jays like your both of their accountant hush up real talk you sound stupid your making something out of nothing check the name so what i like rhi rhi get over it that had nothing to do with what i wrote or swayed my opinion *taking words from deelisha jayz has stacks on top of stacks done deal when you hear about people making bank in the industry srry ladies we need to hustle harder to just be medicore in this game but you hear about moguls not just singer w/ clothing lines honestly impossible for bee to make as much money as him he has his own clothing line* record label* his own career* his production company* royalty checks* he’s Building A Damn Hotel Brand* That Shuts Down Everything down by itself like i said not jay fan but dude is a living legend bee is doing great with her career but she has yet been considered a living legend …. come on be logically like ive said many times… and dont come at me ready to jump on my case when your skiiping words and confusing text
Like I Said That’s Bee’s Man Beauty Only Skin Deep!! they been together This Long So Its Obviously Love.. I Couldnt Look At Somebody For What?? 7+ Years And Not Have Love Them I Cant Stand Be Dudes Im Not Interested In For 7days Let Alone 7+yrs … Continuing My Statement Before Somebody Got Over Defensive for bee’s sake the mesh well together because she is pretty and him not so… theres a balance bee is bee she’s her own brand and ja is his own brand thats what i have ti like most about them their not going out starting businesses together if something happened wasting money splitting things.. ??? question do bee and jayz live together yet… after all this time that has never crossed my mind
fefe dobinson is not rhianna’s peer she was out like 8 years ago or more otherwise you can ask a ten year ago girl who is that and they’d be clueless let alone anyone who didnt watch mtv in the morning before they went to school
Jay just seems to old for all of that {on the cover}. He looks like he’s trying to be a sixteen year old gangsta rapper.
Love Ashanti, but I don’t think she’ll ever be like a “fashionista” or anything. Her outfits never go beyond just “cute.” Don’t get me wrong though, I love her personality.
ashanti looks hot i like her new singel!
Pingback: [CRUNK + DISORDERLY] RICK ROSS FRISKED FRESH WITH HIS TONGUE AND SHE LOVED IT! » I’m Just Saying . . .
I actually think that photo of Ashanti looks very amature. It looks like one of her first photoshoots. At least she’s finally on a cover where she’s fully dressed. Every time I see her she’s always half naked on or in a magazine. I can’t stand Ashanti, no hate, and the only reason why she gave Rihanna props is because she feeds into all the hype that surrounds her. Just because Ashanti said that Rihanna makes her own decisions doesn’t change the fact that Rihanna is still manufactured. Ashanti was the same person who gave CASSIE, YES CASSIE PROPS!!! Can you believe that? I really could care less about her wedding but about damn time she’s planning on it because she’s been with Nelly for 5 YEARS!
Jay’s album cover looks amature as well and he looks so unattractive. When he’s dressed up the the big mogul he is in those expensive suits, he carries himself nicely, but here, he just looks a mess!
10*
Jay-z was on Rolling Stone last year, Blender last year, L`uomo Vogue July 08, 3 UK magazines! Jay is everywhere!
Love jay-z!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, now having lived in West Africa for a few years, I’ve never seen lips or a hooter like. It’s not his fault, everyone knows he’s got a big nose and big lips but shame on VIBE. That’s what you’re gonna put on ur magazine stands. Shame on you VIBE
is that the best pic of jay that vibe can get….if so what a shame
LoL/ She is really sexy!!! I have ever seen her hot video on the wealthy dating club ***R I C H L O V I N G.C O M*** for hot guys and girls to hook up for Hot Love and Sexy Dating. She is really sexy with bikini in that video.
I really like Ashanti..always have,she’s just one of those people who seem genuinely nice,always looks so happy LOL
And Jigga’s Jigga man,he can’t help how he was born,none of us can (though some opt to surgically change their God given looks),anyway Beyonce strikes me as a woman who would never tolerate crap or being mistreated in a relationship so I think what they have goes beyond looks & he simply just treats her right & makes her feel special..Heck I’m only 22 & I know that that’s what ultimately counts (how he treats you ladies) not looks,a lasting relationship is one that’s built on things that go beyond the surface
********@ 77 I agree with you people say what they want about Jay but he never tried
********to alter himself and I read an interview he did he said he won’t change how he
*******looked and he was cool with himself.
Ashanti looks so cute and classy.
Ok Jiggy MaN. I wonder who will be on the other 2 covers
…..DAM he approved this uuuuuuuuuugly ass pic he is so dam yuck . bey sees money………. and only money he dont have enough moola for me to look at that early in the morning lolol…… ashanti beautiful
Please host a day when bloggers can post pictures of themselves and family members on this site. I have a sinking feeling that many bloggers would think twice before commenting on a celeb’s looks, or lack thereof.
the Ashanti cover is ok, she should have had some earrings on. The album is still kinda cool to me. Some of the joints sound good on blast.
I knew that was Jay on the cover. Another blog had guessing game about who it was.
and if that’s the case **see video everything on youtube** Rhi Rhi jacked nothing. There sound isn’t alike. If I see someone with a crazy outfit on and i go buy it; it don’t make me a jacker and if i look better in the style then they did; it don’t make me a jacker….it makes them a hater because they hate they couldn’t do it like me.
Ashanti looks great but Vibe should be ashamed of the Jay-Z cover. Jay should sue the photographer… they could have saved him with photoshop. WTF?!
I’m so proud of Ashanti!!! Her cd is one of my FAVORITES right now, there was a time when I couldn’t stomach listening to her wail and repeat baby over and over again..this cd has some substance, and you can tell she took her time with it and she should be very proud, she has grown vocally, and I’m appreciating the HELL out of it!!!
JAY Z DOESNT LOOK LIKE SHYT PEOPLE WOULDNT CHECK 4 HIM IF HE WASNT RICH AND I THINK HE KNOWS THAT
RI RI IS THE SHYT AND ASHANTI I AM GLAD SHE IS ABLE TO SPEAK OF SOME OTHER FEMALE WITHOUT BEING A HATER
AAshanti…yawn, Jay-Z…no comment
She’s a cutie.

To those who say rihanna jacks from her peers, who says Fe Fe is her peer? maybe to rihanna Fe Fe is her legend. Remember Rihanna was just born in the late eighties, so maybe tina, and aretha and all those old time legends would not have been on her radar, because she was not even in existence when they initially came out. Please give the girl a break if anything it should be a compliment to Fe Fe that Rihanna likes her so much she wants to be like her. Rihanna made no secrets about who some of the artists are she admires. You haters are trying to make it much more serious than it really is. IF you all can’t stand Rhi it ain’t making a difference in her life because she is still making it while you still stuck on hating. “”kill them with it RI RI”"
JAY I S THE BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M LOVING THIS COVER AND HE’S LOOKING GOOD AS ALWAYS.
HE’S SO GAT DAYUM SEX-SAY!!!! DAYUM!!! BEYONCE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
JAY’S BEEN ON VARIOUS VIBE COVERS AND I’LL DEFINITELY BE COPPING THIS ONE TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION.
MMMMMMMUUUUUUAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
@ missez
do us all a favor and go kill yourself with them long ass essays you typing. the only one who looks dumb is your ass. you need to get a damn life. beyonce is a living legend just ask your favorite artist who idolizes her. beyonce is only 26 and she already has half as much money as jay-z. jay-z has no time so eventually beyonce will have more money than him. like someone said you dont know what the hell you talking about. sit yo dumb ass down.
@ D If You Have Such A Problem With My Long Comments Dont Read Them Im Not Holding Gun To Your Head To Agree With Me Either… Sorry But I Guess If Your Referring To My Favorite Artist Being Rihanna Its Not So Jokes On You The Chick Gave Props To Her PEER Three Years Ago And Now She Huge And She Still Nobody To Bee’s Super Fans Come On Bee Isnt A Living Legend Seriously If She Was Everyone Wouldnt Want Her To Make A Comeback She Could Easily Retire And Yall Crazy People Can Get Off Her Back Also Bee Could Die Tomorrow And Never Have A Chance o Catch Up To Jays Money So You Dont Know What Your Talking About You Just Have High Expectations For Her Too High But She Pulled A N.Campbell What You Think Of Her Then??
Bust it creole is so over-rated. How do you get blessed to be in 900 movies and not get acting credit for any of them. To me, BIC didn’t get poplar til whe was in the Case video Happily Ever After because then erbody was like who is that? who is that? She’s a liar and don’t have an original bone in her body!!!!
ASHANTI IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL SHE MAKES ANY MAG COVER SEXY,ELEGANT AND SWEET
OMG..MARRIAGE! I JUST GOT IT.. AT FIRST I’M LIKE TO WHO..PROB..NELLY.. CUTE COUPLE..I GUESS
beyonce must been eating real good, she drop something on her white jeans, i hate when that happens.
I think Ashanit looks just OK in this mag. I’ve seen her look better. And why is she always giving props to talentless people….. first Cassie and now Rihanna? lol you’ll never see her talk about Beyonce. That’s a “heeell naw” lol!
LMAO @ #18, MISSEZ:
“Gotham” is another name for New York City, brought into use by Washington Irving in the early 19th century…
jay-z is not cute i’m sorry
and he is too rich and established now to be lookin like he just off da block
I liked that orange suit that Ashanti wore towards the end of Lloyd’s Southside video. Does anyone have any info on it?
I love this girl because she seems so real and down to earth! Never hates on anyone, makes solid music and writes her own stuff! She deserves more play than she gets!
everyone that has something bad to say about Jay is a hater…. He’s successful, he’s young, he’s black, he’s rich, and in love…. what more could you want??? he’s not the prettiest man in the world but Jay has swag, character, personality, and charisma… alot more than what you could say about alot of other people, and that makes him super sexy to me… so while we’re up looking and judging and talking about him…. he’s thinking up more ways to get money…hi hatas!!!
I like Ashanti 2 new singles. And the video “GOOD GOOD” is a really
cute video featuring her man. I think if she stayed with GOTTI her singles would have gotten more air play on the radio.
As for Jay, did he have to pose like that for the cover? Its great that he has tons of money and all, and being “married” (as they say) to Beyonce, but he really does look like a Cambell, his nose is all stretched and wide, and lips all huge looking…he looks so much better “smiling”. He has all this money and a pretty woman he should be smiling sometimes.. DAMN!!
ASHANTI BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS!
To me this is not one of Ashanti’s best pictures, I like Jay Z’s though—he’s G.
Re: 68. Missez [So What If I Like Rhi Rhi] stated:
“fefe dobson is not rhianna’s peer she was out like 8 years ago or more otherwise you can ask a ten year ago girl who is that and they’d be clueless let alone anyone who didnt watch mtv in the morning before they went to school”
Just some DETAILs:
Fefe & Rhi Rhi are peers…they were label mates at Island / Def Jam.
Fefe CD Release date: December 9, 2003, so that b 5 yrs ago.
ppl may NOT b as aware of Fefe’s name but when they hear her music, they remember it!
how bout some music comparisons??
If I Was A Guy – Fefe Dobson
Like A Boy – Ciara
If I Were A Boy – Beyonce
Similar THEME, I like ALL 3 songs, but u wanna talk TRENDSETTER, Fefe wrote IF I WAS A GUY years ago!!!
