Finally. After months of being silent and watching her ex boss Irv Gotti tell all of her business, Ashanti has finally spoken out to tell her side of the story.
The legendary R & B songstress appeared on Angie Martinez’s IRL Podcast, verbalizing her disgust with Irv’s choice to drag her name through the mud, in order to promote his recently aired documentary.
Despite being Irv’s main promotion topic, Ashanti actually wasn’t part of the documentary. When asked why she wasn’t a part of the Murder, Inc. documentary, Ashanti kept it real.
“I think the world can see why,” she laughed. “For the record, I love Murder, Inc. I’m cool with everyone, it’s all love.”
“It’s very unfortunate how Irv decided to handle his documentary. It’s a little sad to see a grown man conduct himself in that manner. I feel like the Murder, Inc. legacy is so much bigger,” she said. “The way he handled it tarnished and cheapened the brand…that’s so selfish and so degrading.”
“I accepted a long time ago that’s the person that he is,” she said of her lack of surprise about his behavior. “I feel like Irv is mentally not in a good place.”
The star believes that the former Hip-Hop heavy hitter was intentionally trying to ruin her by revealing intimate details and personal anecdotes about their extramarital affair that occurred twenty years ago.
“When you come to a realization that you no longer can manipulate or control someone you let go. You just vomit. It looks nasty, it smells nasty. And that’s a reflection of the person that you are,” Ashanti said of his recent comments. “He’s clearly in pain, and I see a lot of feminine qualities.”
Ashanti detailed years of threats, manipulation, lies, and abuse of power.
Ashanti says that after Gotti found out she was dating Nelly, Irv was salty and wouldn’t let her come to the studio to record. “Nah. You want to be with Nelly, go sign with Dirty Ent. We don’t want you, Ashanti recalled.”
Essence reports: Detailing years of manipulation and verbal abuse, the songstress indicated that Gotti had overblown and extrapolated much of the nature of their dealings together in his mind and became upset when he came to the realization that things were not quite what he believed they were between them. She also revealed she has no recollection of some of the explicit details Irv shared on his now infamous Drink Champs interview.
“Irv has flat-out lied about a lot of things. And the crazy thing is, when we were in a good space, a positive space – pillow talk is a dangerous thing. There are so many things that I know. [But] I don’t have the desire to expose certain things. I operate at a different vibration than him. I don’t play in the mud.”
The songstress says she indeed had a genuine love for the Murder, Inc. mogul due to the impact he had on her career and the good times she had writing, recording, and traveling the world. But, she denies there being a grand love affair between the two as Gotti describes.
“We dealt with each other, but was Irv my boyfriend, and was I his girlfriend? Never.”
She admits that at the time she and Irv’s relationship moved beyond the professional into the personal, she was led to believe that he was legally separated and was inclined not to question it since he lived separate from his wife and children and had many many girlfriends at the time.
She also reveals that she felt “a lot of pressure” to continue to deal with her boss once she had second thoughts about their relationship, thinking that perhaps it may impact her career negatively.
“If I say [no]…does that mean we’re not going to record?”
Ashanti says Irv even told her stylist that if she phucked with Ashanti, he was done with her.
Throughout the interview, Ashanti detailed years of repeated harassment, gaslighting, manipulation, and verbal abuse she received at the hands of Irv Gotti. She says this culminated in threats of violence and even death threats as she began to solidify her independence and get into a relationship with rapper Nelly.
“I believe he wishes death on me to this day,” Ashanti revealed. “I’m my heart I feel like Irv is just hurt, and he doesn’t know where to place his hurt, and he doesn’t know how to channel it as a man. And it’s very sad.”
Ashanti said Irv told her nobody wanted to work with her, that men only wanted her because he made her and so many other narcissistic comments. Her way out was to finally build a team that was on her side, like getting a new accountant so that Irv no longer had control over her.
So glad that she mentioned the word feminine. I noticed men gossip more than women do. It’s extremely feminine. Meanwhile most respectable women keep intimate details about their relationships to themselves. They never even tell the man’s business after a break-up.
I also agree that there was a much better way to promote the Murder Inc documentary. If not for him speaking on Ashanti the way he did, I may have watched it. But I am LIGHT and high vibration. Chances are, most people logged on to watch BECAUSE he spoke intimately about Ashanti.
Anytime someone tells you that you can’t do something YOU CAN. Anytime you have a desire for something new that hasn’t been created in the market YOU CAN.
I absolutely abhor when someone says “Nothing new can be created, everything has been done already.” That thought process only comes from people not tapped into divine ideas. The only thing that’s constant is change. So obviously SOMETHING new must be created in order to nurture that change.
Like women dropping their car off at the shop, where they will literally charge you more money for being a girl, and being able to get your hair and nails done while you wait?
Can you imagine being able to drop your car off to be serviced, receive fair pricing, and get pampered while it’s being done?
Patrice Banks gave up her six-figure income occupation to start up the Girls Auto Clinic, an auto repair shop run by and for women. A woman can walk in and get her hair and nails done while they wait on their car to be serviced.
According to A Great Number Of Things, Patrice Banks is smashing a conventional wisdom held for generations…that women can’t understand cars.
As we guys know, our women can be astoundingly forgiving sorts. We see it an awful lot with our leaders’ wives. We screw up regularly, and they not only put up with it, they’ll even show support for us in public.
But take advantage of a Philly girl one too many times, and one day she’ll open up an industrial-sized can of whoop-ass on you.
For example, imagine an entire industry neglecting a demographic worth $200 billion a year. That’s how much the fairer sex spends buying automobiles and repairing them. And yet in a 2013 RepairPal survey, two-thirds of them believed they were overcharged for repairs simply because they are women.

Patrice Banks, owner of the Girls Auto Clinic and Clutch Beauty Salon in Upper Darby, knows the feeling. As a former “auto airhead”, she spent much of her adult life dreading—and sometimes dangerously postponing—trips to mechanics for oil changes and repairs. Like much of her gender since the dawn of automobiles, her lack of car knowledge caused her to zone out whenever a mechanic explained a repair. And yes, she has stories about being ripped off.
One day a wormhole opened. Banks suddenly decided to answer a simple question that no one had answered in over a century: Why are females so intimidated by the workings of an automobile?
Banks searched for a female mechanic in the area to help her explain automobiles…and came up empty. It was, she says, her “light bulb moment”. The well-paid engineer decided to become a mechanic herself.
She spent evenings earning an Automotive Technology diploma from Delaware Technical Community College. During that time, she offered to work as a mechanic for free…and was turned down at several shops, for reasons like “the boss’s wife won’t like it.” Once she became familiar with the not-so-complicated inner workings of automobiles, she opened her own shop.
Judging from the exposure she’s gotten since, including appearances on Fox & Friends, CBS This Morning, and O Magazine, it sounds like she’s onto something.
The salon right next door, for hair and nails while you wait.
It’s the original idea for me.
Patrice also did the appropriate marketing required to make her BUSINESS successful.
One of the biggest problems in entrepreneurship with many first time entrepreneurs is that you take your business to heart, in every way except in the marketing department.
I am writing Patrice’s story due to the marketing she’s already done.
Many clients come to me not feeling one way, and start feeling worthy of being featured on the news and other venues. They clear up their worthiness issues that can show up in the words “not feeling ready”, “not there yet”, not successful enough yet,” and fear of the opinions of others.
Deciding to no longer play small and to go big is a journey.
When you move past comparison and focus on your own unique special gifts and talents, you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
As you know, millions of people are waiting on you and need your divine services in order to change their life and get to their next level of happiness or greatness.

A black woman is the youngest billionaire in America.
According to Forbes, Rihanna sits at an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, becoming America’s youngest self-made Billionaire.
Billionaire Status
Last year in August, Rihanna reached billionaire status, thanks to her entrepreneurial endeavors over the years, beginning with Fenty Beauty, of which she owns half. The brand has swept makeup lovers off their feet since launching in 2017, landing on Sephora shelves before recently expanding to Ulta Beauty.
Nearly one year after launching her beauty empire, Rihanna reached new heights with the debut of her lingerie brand Savage Fenty, which she holds an estimated 30 percent stake valued at $270 million, according to Forbes. The company is valued at $1 Billion.
Rihanna says the money and praise makes her uncomfortable. She plans to use the money to improve the lives of others.
Forbes List
Rihanna shares the list with other well-known names like Beyoncé, who’s worth an estimated $450 million, and Oprah, who’s worth an estimated $2.6 billion. However, she is the only billionaire on the list under age 40 and ranked at No. 21.
Although impressive, Rihanna does not define her worth by her financial milestones. Instead, she is happiest about creating jobs for others and helping those closest to her.
“I never thought I’d make this much money, so a number is not going to stop me from working,” Rihanna previously said, according to The New York Times. “The money means that I can take care of my family. The money means that I can facilitate the businesses that I want to. I can create jobs for other people.”
Rather you are single or in a relationship, this message applies to you.
A healthy, wealthy, high value, conscious man desires to meet a woman who knows HOW TO RECEIVE FROM HIM. You can not receive from a man when you don’t love your feminine self or you’re too busy running your mouth about nothing.
What does that mean? When you go to dinner are you doing all of the talking? What are you talking about? Chances are darling, you’re not saying things that deeply connect to his heart.
He can see a woman who doesn’t love herself or isn’t tapped into her femininity from a mile away.
He knows you don’t trust him, let alone trusting yourself. When you lack trust of yourself or men, you may feel unsafe in this world.
Therefore, he doesn’t give you anything.
You the one who is quick to click LIKE on the comment from the masculine woman who is trying HER BEST to attract high value men with her looks, but only attracts men who hit her with the bill, while she says she’s waiting on Jesus to send her a man, and showing off her new big ole booty, that conscious high value men don’t even want. And it’s not like there is not always a finer chick with a bigger booty…
I mean even if you don’t have more money than HER, the other girls, that’s still not making you WIN HIM. It only has you alone with your big booty and your accolades…
The thing about women, even when we are smart, is when are feminine core is unhealed we have the tendency to operate backwards in relationships.
The masculine pushing energy that makes many highly intelligent women initially successful in business tends to hits an income ceiling. That same masculine energy also does not work in relationships. It doesn’t matter whether the man is conscious or unconscious, chances are he wants a feminine woman.
Operating as a masculine woman, limits your ability to RECEIVE to receive money and men at the highest levels. Which means there is a limit on the amount of love that a masculine woman can receive from the world.
Rather it’s chasing money or desiring love, you can’t avoid the work of pulling back your layers, and working deeply on your inner self.
High Value Men desire to meet a woman who knows HOW TO RECEIVE FROM HIM.
He wants trust and respect. He wants you to listen to his wisdom.
How many times have you ignored that man’s wisdom, yet you want him to LOVE you, spend more time with you, trust you, invest his resources into you, get rid of all of his other women, and look at you like you’re the one?
😭🥲😭🥲🤦🏽♀️😒😕😔😭
You don’t have to read that last line over, but I advise you to.
—————————————-
If you know everything, you have your own money, and can do everything for yourself, what do you need him for?
Cause I promise you he knows that he has way more than just handicapped d*ck to offer you.
But I mean if that’s the only thing that you can seem to receive… he’s like come get this d*ck.
You have 3 kind of men with money:
1. Some are only good for money, cause their character and the way they treat women isn’t loving.
2. Some will give you money, but it’s really nothing to a boss. He’s waiting to see how happy you’re going to be with trinkets and how many tricks he can get you to do. After he’s done, he’ll toss you, on to the next.
3. Some men will give you money, but he knows the KNOWLEDGE he imparts in you is WAY more valuable. Why would he keep you if your brain is a brick that won’t receive him?
Notice I didn’t include 50/50 males. Lots of women love them. They are not in my vocabulary. They don’t exist.
Anyway, conversation rules the nation. One of my ex’s taught me that.

Chances are, you’re talking too much, doing too much, and not showing up being enough.

And that know it all, do it all on your own attitude, well baby, that’s how you got in a 50/50 relationship.
It’s the energy you showed up with. A man who was willing to meet you there showed up.
The man you really want, the dream man, well he out here looking for a Goddess with that special kind of energy who knows how to talk to him. He doesn’t fall for fake sweet words. He is going to recognize the root of the fruit from the tree.

While many of us were raised with single mothers who didn’t own businesses and had to learn wealth and entrepreneurship on our own, the scope in black America has changed.
Many entrepreneurs are now teaching their children how to become successful business owners before they even turn 18-years old.
Dr. Amy Rucker, a business coach and marketplace minister from Las Vegas, NV decided to turn her 9-year-old daughter into a CEO.
She wrote:
IT’S OFFICIAL
My baby is the owner of a vending machine company. I wanted to teach her business and thought this would be a great place to start. Help me celebrate this 9 year old future CEO.
Her mother Dr. Amy Rucker said:
“I know Inflation is high and this is a way to drive additional revenue and teach my 9-year-old daughter about generational wealth”
In addition to her vending machine business, 9-year-old Zuri is already a published author after being inspired watching her mom, speak all around the world.
Zuri’s Affirmation Alphabet Book inspires little girls to believe in themselves.
When it comes to being a boss chick and really being about your paper, most boss chicks end up with a man with a lot of feminine energy, because boss men like women who display feminine energy.
However, before the boss chick learns that lesson she tends to date a man who wants to compete with her and has ZERO RESPECT for her business acumen.
The Drake feature is one of the most coveted things in music. When Drake hops on a track, it normally skyrockets to the top of charts and in the ears of fans. Rising star Muni Long reveals she passed on it, but because of a jealous boyfriend.
“That on[e] time in 2008 I missed out on a Drake feature because my bf at the time found out he was pulling up to the studio and flew into a jealous rage,” Long wrote Tik Tok. “So I checked out and quit responding to his texts.”

Hopefully, Drake and Muni Long can get it right in 2022 or beyond.
Despite missing out on 2008 Drake, Muni Long found success and her “Hrs and Hrs” single has officially gone gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), officially selling 500,000 equivalent units. According to Rated RnB, the single is Long’s first RIAA certification. The single was found on her Public Displays of Affection EP.
So many women get talked about of their dreams and goals due to a boyfriend that they aren’t even with anymore… What they don’t know though, is that the women are only using the boyfriend as a source of procrastination… When their focus is on pleasing the man, they are not honoring their own needs and doing what they should be doing to please themselves.
Forbes’ annual list of worldwide billionaires came out, and our bae Rihanna is a freshmen on the list.
Celebrity billionaires this year, include Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Jay Z.
The American business magazine released its annual report on billionaires around the world, which included some returning billionaires and entrepreneurs who made the cut for the first time.
Rihanna, 34, is among the freshman class of billionaires, becoming the first billionaire of her home country of Barbados, according to Forbes. Declared the world’s richest female musician, the pop star has leveraged her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line and her Savage X Fenty lingerie business to a net worth of $1.7 billion, the magazine says.
After becoming a billionaire last year, Kardashian, 41, landed at #1,645 on the Forbes’ billionaires list Friday, with a net worth of $1.8 billion. Her ex-husband Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, 44, also appeared on the list after Forbes officially deemed him a billionaire in 2020. At #1,513, he’s worth $2 billion.
Jay Z made the list at $1.4 Billion. Jay Z’s money is Beyonce’s money by divine government law, but I would still love to see Beyonce find a product that makes her a Billionaire.
What I love most about this story is that Rihanna has always created her own lane and did her own thing. No other artist can compare to her uniqueness in everything she does.
I am aiming for Billionaire status now. Why not? Let’s Go Masterpiece Tribe!
Sign up for Goddess Unleashed to learn how to become a wealthy divine feminine boss chick like Rihanna. Course starts tomorrow.
It does not take years to become a profitable writer. People who tell you that simply don’t have the right system. It also does not take years to build a following. You can build a successful multi-6-7 Figure writing business and grow your following at the same time.
Today, I’m getting straight to the point of how to make this happen in your life.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY FAST AS A WRITER
Pick out a NICHE. The way to fast profit as a writer is to specialize in something. Specialization is where the money resides. Know your niche like the back of your hands, and deliver the results they desire. Simple as that.
Put a system in place that builds yourself as an authority and immediately offer help to people. Doing more research and constantly learning while waiting to be profitable is not the way to go. You can learn and make money at the same time. (Thank You Jesus!)
Do great SEO on your blog so that people can find you. SEO will send you tons of aligned traffic. This is also a shortcut so that you don’t have to post every day or constantly be active on every social media network.
You can build an audience fast once you know your niche and their problems. Creating a system to consistently put them in front of those leads and turning those leads into customers is the way to go.
Now, what most people need to make this happen is a coach who has done it already. Like me. I have 500,000 blog followers on Facebook, my posts go viral reaching MILLIONS of people per month. I reach 2 Million people on a month when I am barely putting in effort. That’s a slow effort month.
You can also do this by yourself. Which often takes YEARS of time. Be smart, get help, implement and go straight to being a successful writer versus waiting years to HOPEFULLY be successful. Smart people hire help.
You’ll live the luxury lifestyle of your dreams, on a beach, sipping Maitais and enjoying the good life. And if you’ve worked with me 1 on 1 deeply, you’ve also healed and are on the beach with your soulmate, and not sitting there by yourself, only living HALF of the dream.
As you can see, I go straight to what you need without all of the fluff. Nobody has time for fluff. I’ve made multiple six-figures YEARLY just from writing. Let’s Go!
