Ashanti, R&B Muse

Ashanti and Nelly’s newly rekindled romance 20 years after it first started has us all reminiscing about the early aughts. So we obvi need to talk about Ashanti and how Ashanti was (and continues to be) the R&B industry’s muse. In this episode, we’ll discuss how Ashtanti beat the odds and broke through barriers to reach the top of the charts. When industry execs regarded her as merely a feature with her mesmerizing call-and-response angelic vocals, Ashanti proved to be an enduring creative, capable writer and headliner. From What’s Luv and Always On Time to Happy and Down 4 U, we discuss Ashanti’s biggest hits and when she popped!  Support the show Instagram: @whentheypoppedpod TikTok: @whentheypoppedpod Email: [email protected] Website: linktree.com/whentheypopped Subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=85610411 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
