PICS/VIDEO: ASHANTI SHOWCASES NEW LOOK DURING RECENT APPEARANCES – ARE YOU FEELING IT?

February 14th, 2012

Recording Artist Ashanti made a lot of promo rounds on Monday (February 13) in New York City. The 31 year-old was spotted at three different places rocking a new ‘braided hairband’ look. The new hairstyle stood out along with her colorful eclectic dresses.

Ashanti first appeared on Good Morning America, performing her latest single, “The Woman You Love”. She then stopped by BET’s 106 & Park, where she talked about the death of Whitney Houston and her upcoming video and project. She capped off the day with a Fashion Week show, sitting front row at the Falguni & Shane Peacock show.

Check out more photos and videos of her on GMA as well as 106th & Park below. Go ‘head Ashanti, I see you!

      Isis indeed! She looks different and its a fresh new look. I love it. The dress at the fashion show is a tad bit much..thats not exactly a dress for a thick woman, but hey she’s taking risk and I like that overall.

      Her new single “The Woman You love” is a BANGER!!! I hope the single is a clear reflection of what the album will be. Good job Ashanti!! Very talented vocalist.

      Ten good albums X 10 years make you a legend… Not ten years of people seeing you walk red carpets.

      Lola, calm the hell down.. Why is it you young ones THINK you are checking someone??? Where did I say I hate her? “Ashanti is clearly going to be a legend” << Ok, who sounds like the dumb a$$? A child not even born yet is "gonna be" a legend..smdh He stated she is a legend, meaning she is one at the moment. Is she or is she not a legend NOW?? Learn what a legend is before swinging… ok I don't see her as a legend.

      Oh, and I suggest you watch a few episodes of Unsung.. Those people sold millions too and were gonna be legends.

      @Indigo I agree with you I would never put Ashanti in a legend category. All i can remember is her being hot when i was in like middle school and that was about it. And in my opinion she is one of the worst dressers!that shear front dress does not flatter her size at all!

      Lola, stop lying! I really can’t stand when stans of an artist lie about the artist’s sales. She sold 4 million first album, 2 million second album, 1 million 3rd album, 100,000 for Collectables, and only 300,000 for The Declaration. How the hell does that equal 30 million? Even with singles added she aint even sell nowhere near that!

      You have to cross over to be a legend… She’s a hood star,but legend, not. I’m not bashing her, but it is what it is. It’s ok to be a fan though. After 10 years, it still seems like they are tryna get her a buzz. I remember when she first came out and it was a struggle, and it still seems that way. I guess because of the crew she ran with.

    • AshantiSlays&WillSlayIn2012

      yassssss couldn’t have said it any better!!!!!!!! casie has (0) hits nor can she sing period. #Done, ciara had maybe 3 hits and too many flopped albums and cant sing. and lord must we discuss rihanna live goat vocals? i mean rihanna cant sing for shit she sounds nothing like she does on her audio song (LIVE) she sounds like a dying goat and all she does 90% of the time is lip sync and try to hype her audience by fist pumping so they wont focus on her failed live vocals (the little she has) ashanti has 30 mill WW these chicks haven’t even reached that yet, and some have 6 albums and still cant reach that yet and have albums that were put out during holiday seasons and had albums for 99cent and still cant manage to obtain even a 3X platinum album. Ashanti is a legend already she has proved to the world shes a (REAL) artist no gimmicks at all 100% original and doesn’t change shit about her ever, she always does what she does best no need to switch from 1 music genre to another if anyone hates on this chick they must be pathetic and mad with there life, Ashanti is here and shes not going anywhere u kids will just have to #DEAL. don’t like her? stop visiting her blogs and video’s plain and simple. (HAVE A GREAT DAY)

    I just point blank like Ashanti, whether she is singing or just being a socialite on red carpets. I like the braided adornment, it reminds me of when everybody wore those braided headbands around their foreheads.

    Ashanti is doing her thing. She looks very fashion forward and still very young to have been in the game for 10 years.

    @ Indigo & Domo (more like dumb *ss)

    Just marinate in your hate ok….just do that.
    Ashanti is very pretty, talented and smart. Her new song is FIRE!!!…..but then again you already knew that….Yeah.. that’s why you come on here. If nobody was checking for her you wouldn’t even bother to look much less post a comment.
    Stop making a fool out of yourself by denying the obvious. It’s not that you don’t like her you are just jealous.

    TEAM ASHANTI and what????

      She is all that… but she is not a legend.. : ) I’m a grown woman, I don’t know her, so why would I be jealous?? Get a grip and learn something about life.

    Ashanti is nothing but a couple hits wonder. Her career has been over for years! She really can’t sing and ruined Whitney’s “I Have Nothing.” I really can’t stand her fake personality especially after she “rolled her eyes and walked away” to Britney’s VMA performance a few years back when she was asked about what she thought about it. B–ch, all of your performances have been sh–y as well. That’s why your nickname is Ash-tty!

    Seriously

    The only thing I don’t like on her is the very last dress (the longer dress). Other than that, she doesn’t look bad at all. And her hair/makeup are flawless!

    The braid is different “for now.” Just remember ppl had to grow on Cassie shaving off one side of her head…now too many ppl are doing it (that shouldn’t be).
