Gorillas and Bananas

Posted by Bossip Staff

Ashanti 50 Cent

There is a possibility that Ashanti may be joining G-Unit:

50 Cent may be helping Ashanti plot revenge on Murder Inc. capo Irv Gotti. The songstress has been furious that her label’s boss wouldn’t deny rumors that they’d had an affair.

“She was pissed. And now 50 Cent is trying to get her to be a part of G-Unit.”

50 hasn’t always been flattering toward Ashanti. He told Playboy that “her music is not the hottest sh*t in the world.”

Well at least that is something that we concur with Bugsy on…definitely not the hot sh*t.

    hi

    Wrong link for the source. Links to the Shawn Corey Carter (Jay-Z) article. Get it together.

  4. Corree

    G-Unit dogged her out in every rap. Between 50 and Lloyd Banks…she’d be a fool to let them use her to get back at Irv. Don’t be a ***** girl.

  5. MIKKIMO

    both her and ciara and talentless and dumb…. whatever happens to them so be it…

    Sucess is the best revenge, especially now that the Inc. has had so many troubles.

    I read a quote attributed to Irv in which he stated he would get high on ‘X’ and do her, that she was a jumpoff.

    Do it girl, come out hot and work.

    @Corree

    True but they would be using each other, 50’s label is going to have to spend money to get the album done and are any other record companies trying to sign her?

    Her options are limited also.

  8. Kompton's Kutie

    I hope she doesn’t sign with him. Her next CD will never come out, while he’ll have 3 in the next 2yrs. He’s ridiculous.


  9. SHE NEED TO SAY SCREW BOTH OF THEM AND COP A DEAL WITH ANOTHER COMPANY….

  10. yes

    gorillas and bananas bossip u r BRUTAL with ure words looooooool. y is every1 dissing ashanti she can hold a note her songs arent painful to the ears and she is relatively pretty. if she is foolish to leave her ex lover and jump with bugsy who cussed her down let her be man, she has to put in the work till the diet turns on her and she is in the middle of nowhersville with 3 kids talking about when she used to be famous

  11. So_Surrus

    50 always tryna diss sumbody…his music aint the ish either since his 1st CD

  12. nahnah

    Just imagine it were Perez who created such headline. Boycott Perez, he’s racist. He’s calling black people monkey and gorrilla.

  13. justme

    ummm who gives a shizznit! yeah she’s pretty but is switching to a different lable for revenge gonna make er a better entertainer??? I think not:)

  14. Lyte Bright

    if she joins g-unit, she’s gonna look foolish (no pun intended) cuz they’ve been dissing her since g-unit came out. dumb @ss business move…..DON”T DO IT

  15. Ibn

    this should have been under HO SIT DOWN…ASH ANTI let it go its a wrap she couldnt sing to begin with if you is me OH BABY OH BABY OH BABY

  16. Dayum

    I agree with justme….she can’t sing worth a damn! She’s just easy on the eyes….that’s all!

  17. William Powers

    Yo I was wondering what was up with Bananas. I must say that I wasn’t too crazy about those two singles that got leaked but she’s been singing better than ever and looking fly as hell.. but Irv still didn’t drop her *****.

    Never screw your boss baby girl. Just not a good look. Too bad she can’t resign like Mayor Kwame’s sideline.

  18. Zayah

    Why would she sign with G-unit? They use to crack on her ***** all the time..about her side burns lol..she’s real dumb if she sign’s with them..

  19. The One

    She must be desperate for money, revenge is just extra. I could never join a company that talk so much ***** about me back in the day, have some pride chick.

  20. SIX Shooter (GET MONEY)

    She may not have much choice but to sign with G-Unit. It’s not like labels are beating down the doors to sign so-so hip-hop singers. Plus fiddy will get to smash, you know he gotta go where Irvs been.

  21. i'm like wtf?

    clearly the highlight of this post is that headline. lol.

  22. Cage

    Lol… Talent? No. Beat Value? Still high. Ashanti could still get it.

  23. MJB's #1 Fan

    @ Six Shooter.

    You said it before me. If she could, she would have signed with another label. No one wants her. She has no talent.

    I know people hate Beyonce on here, but if she wanted to leave her label, she would have offers coming out of her *****.

    I hope this is the end of Ashanti’s talent-less *****.

  24. bree

    GORILLAS & BANANAS…LMFAO!!!

    if Ashanti has any morals she will not be signing with G-U-NOT..he is the reason she shaved off them sideburns..if she does sign with him it would certify her status as a glen cove jumpoff

  25. webstar

    This is a waste of a post dont *****osy care about either one.

    50 need some kind of attention sense his clothing like is *****. Ashanti don’t need the inc or 50’s wack ***** label

  26. webstar

    *line

  27. BABY

    she cant do any worse.

  28. dayg715

    his ***** ain’t that much better. i’d still sleep with him!

  29. comedy

    I hope she does not sign with them. I think this is another dumb rumor. By the way, where is her man Nelly?

  30. JaliliMaster

    dayg715

    his ***** ain’t that much better. i’d still sleep with him!

    ***** prostitute!

  31. SMDH

    why is is monkey looking ***** always talking trash about a black woman but can’t get his head out of that white racist trashy w***** Paris Hiltons *****??

    I swear, black men are a *****ing embarr*****ment to their race.. To think this is what our grand parents and great grand parents gave their lives fighting for..

    SMDH!!!!

  32. Just_Wanna_Know

    Gorillas and Banana’s??? I’m not feeling this title. It’s offensive. Come better next time Bossip.

    As for the article, I think its just a rumor. If it’s not I hope she doesn’t go through with it. They have been *****g her for the longest mainly because of her *****ociation with Ja Rule. He and 50 always had beef. I know her career has gone downhill but she doesn’t have to stoop this low and lose her dignity. Besides 50 is not hot like he use to be so signing with them will not guarantee that she will have another hit CD. With the right producers she could bring out something decent the next time around. She’s not the worst songwriter out there. She just needs someone to be real and tell her for find another main lyric besides ‘baby.’

  33. JEANNIE

    @SMDH I AGREED WHOLEHEARTEDLY – In the future the genuine Black man will be extinct! We are watering down our Black race with the infiltration of white people (women). Our Black men aren’t even proud of themselves. Their mothers don’t look like Paris Hilton and those others? So, sad. why can’t Black people stick together like all the other races do?

  34. Cage

    So when a black woman is coupled up with a white man is she no longer a “Genuine” black woman? Do the same rules apply? Clear this up for me please cause i’m noticing a double standard with the bashing here..

  35. Strong Black Man

    why does ashanti’s lower extremities look like prostetics

  36. JEANNIE

    This is in reference to the children that they produce which will be our future. Whether they are the mother or the father.

  37. Strong Black Man

    @Jeannie…simply because we covet everything “they” have, not realizing what we’ve got or what could be..It’s easier to *****imilate and fall in line, than fight, struggle and make your own way…Plain and simple. Outside of celebrity land, i’d say 70percent of the *****s dating white girls are broke anyways or suckas, bama’s and cuba gooding types..

    ———————-

    U seem to have selective comprehension. She was saying that in reply to another posters comments regarding quotes by the fool otherwise known as 50 cent. He (fiddy) is always downing the sista in the biz e.g. Oprah, Vivica, Ashanti etc., yet uses that same mouth to praise Paris Hilton. Why don’t u ‘notice’ the double standards in that one first, before pointing fingers elsewhere!

    Please LOL. I love when some Black Women act like the crack of their *****es are so clean. Like Black Women haven’t done their equal share to ***** ***** up. 2 Superhead books and 2 Khia Albums later…..Tell Shaneyney, Kiki, and Shabrenda to take out the multi-color hair tracks and stop having 15 kids with 15 different daddies.

  41. @nahnah

    Just imagine it were Perez who created such headline. Boycott Perez, he’s racist. He’s calling black people monkey and gorrilla.

    —————————-

    This is the hypocrisy we experience at bossip!! When bossip slate “white folks news” no one says nothing, but God forbid Perez Hilton call 50cent a gorilla, he’s racist!!! Man I should hit him up and tell him to start writing in “black folks news” see how you like it then. SMDH!

  42. Jahpson

    50 looks really sharp and cl*****y in that photo.

    I know that he always had a crush on Ashanti. 50 bout to make some moves…

  43. @nahnah

    when i said you, i meant bossip and most of the folks on here, not at you! lol

  44. Strong Black Man

    @FRO…lol this ***** brung tears to my eyes

    “Like Black Women haven’t done their equal share of *****ed up *****. 2 Superhead books and 2 Khia Albums later”

    Mmm… Ashanti…

  46. Z

    I like Ashanti’s music. Bossip is always hating.

  47. DC KITTEN

    @ BOSSIP 50 CENT IS NOT BUGSY NO MORE HIS TEETH IS FIXED AND HE LOOKS GOOD STOP IT BOSSIP. AND LEAVE POOR OLE ASHANTI ALONE DOES SHE STILL DATE NELLY? I HEARD RUMORS THAT SHE WAS DATING A NEW YORK GIANTS BALL PLAYER.

  48. JEANNIE

    @STRONGBLACKMAN

    WELL SAID!!!!!

  49. elle

    NO NEED FOR THAT TITLE BOSSIP.

    WHO THE HELL ARE THE WRITERS FOR THIS BLOG, DAMN.

    back to the matter

    question:

    has 50 catapulted anyone’s career that has signed with g-unit?

  50. BORED @ WORK

    Olivia……. that’s all i’m going to say.

  51. rnblover

    I can’t believe anybody is taking this BS seriously.

  52. Lili

    Corree

    G-Unit dogged her out in every rap. Between 50 and Lloyd Banks…she’d be a fool to let them use her to get back at Irv. Don’t be a ***** girl.

    ^^^Seriously. I remember all them mixtapes…he’d dog Ashanti and say B was the hottest and that she needed to leave Jigga and get with him. lol

  53. Jack Tripper

    50 cent is *****. I wouldn’t go with that dude. This whole story is not even worth talking about.

  54. HOTSTUFF

    Love 50 but Shanti don’t do it….Love you too girl!!! It just looks like you’re not loyal…

  55. BLUNTBLAZER

    SHE STILL LOOKS GOOD CAN NEVA FORGET THA SOURCE PHOTO SPREAD

    http://WWW.MY*****E.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC

    “GRIND OR DIE”

  56. I'm Just Me

    I LIKE ASHANTI WELL ENOUGH BUT I HAVE YET TO REALLY HEAR OLIVIA BLOW…WHY DOESN’T DUMB@$$ 50CENT WORK WITH WHOM HE HAS ALREADY BEFORE ADDING NEW STEW TO THE POT??? IT IS OBVIOUS HIS VENTURES TO REVIVE THE OLD ARE NOT REALLY WORKING ANYWAY….

    REMEMBER THE MASE DIBACLE??

  57. and another one....

    She’s dumb if she signs with GAYUNIT – none of them sell. Fiddy is too busy kissing on herpes hilton to figure out what is going on with his artists. He is a *****ing sell out and gay.

  58. SpearChucker

    one of the funniest things I ever heard was when 50 said Ashanti had “sideburns thick like Eddy Munster”

  59. Cage

    @ Jalil : Thanks for clearing it up while talking ***** at the same time. I wasn’t fingerpointing, calm yo sensitive ***** down.

  60. Felix the Cat

    Ashanti has no talent and looks like a w*****. What’s the big deal? Let her go to G-Unot, they are about to implode anyway, with their best rapper Young Buck defecting to Cash Money and their cd sales going down the crapper. They both deserve each other.

    SMDH, what’s with the blanket statements about the brothas? You need to stall that ***** out.


  61. If this is true, I think she’d do alot better with GUnit. Irv needs to get it together.

    http://www.iheartmysugardaddy.blogspot.com

  62. valenne

    I HATE TO SAY THAT BUT 50 CENT AHS EARNED 33 MILLIONS IN 2007. THIS GUY IS RICH AND CAN PROMOTE AN ARTIST IF HE WANTS. HE CAN DO SOME BANGIN SONGS IF HE WANTS. BUT I THINK HE IS GOING TO BE TOO BUSY (F$$$$) I MEAN PROMOTING LOLA LUV,I HEARD THAT SHE IS GOING TO BE SIGNED BY G-UNIT TOO?!!!

  63. Lik_Wid_Cherry

    ***** trying to get back at Irv, the fat *****er ain’t worth it. If she do sign with G-Unit, she should do it with business in mind, b/c if she don’t, she will end up with a crappy ***** album, which isn’t a new thing for her, but i’m sure she wants change, and end up owning her record label.

  64. USC Alum

    Ashanti can get fo sho! Real Talk.

  65. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    ok .. somebody needs to tell “FIDDY” that the look hes going for requires tailored jacket. i get some damn tired of dudes doing that OLD PLAYED OUT ***** USHER LOOK wearing a church jacket with jeans. that do not look good!

  66. Monotheistic Proof

    IMAO

    50 doesn’t have a versatile enough ear to promote a female artist. Maybe he brings in sombody in to help her. (not likely)

    But she will probably sit on the shelf like MOP and MOB Deep. Her career will consist of being on all his thuglove cuts, simply as a gimmick to further step on Murder Inc. The new Olivia if you will with a vengeful twist.

    Coincidental History:

    Beef with Suge and the Bloods get close to the Game.

    Beef with Jay Z bring in Nas and if that fails bring in Mob Deep and MOP.

    Beef with Puffy recruit Mase

    Beef with the Game and the Bloods bring in Crip Spider Loc

    Beef with Murder Inc. Get at Irv by bringing in his side order Ashanti.

    I can’t explain the Lola Luv thing. I just think he’s trying to hit it. (Can’t blame him)

    It’s amazing this dude makes as much money as he does making emotional decisions like this.

  67. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    @ MONO

    LMAO … u basically just summed up 50 strategy and seeing it in print makes it look ULTRA DUMB what a lil *****

  68. MsSmartiepants

    Ashanti, why do you want Irv to lie about your affair ? I saw with my own eyes you & him in the limo in traffic on Harlem River Dr right by the Triboro exit. The window was down and you were huddled right next to him. *****in’ for tracks ? Maybe. Saying you never had anything other than a professional relationship ? Liar.

  69. Lik_Wid_Cherry

    BUSTED!!! Ashanti just don’t want to get her ***** kicked by Irv’s wife..can you imagine…’Don’t scratch my face!!!’

  70. Rico 9

    who cares? and don’t you know this is all about publicity before she drops another single pre-album release. music business 101. the first single didn’t blow up on Island/DefJam, so plan b…Nelly has his own issues with his release, so she’s not getting anything but ***** from that jump-off.

  71. I'm Just Sayin....

    Ashanti can hit a note, yes, but so can my dog.

    If that’s what p*****es for talent these days, get me and my dog a meeting with a record industry rep asap!

    She’s tired, and her weaves be looking too damn bulky sometimes. Next!

  72. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    If that’s what p*****es for talent these days, get me and my dog a meeting with a record industry rep asap!

    **************LMAO

    She’s tired, and her weaves be looking too damn bulky sometimes

    **************** that money getting lighter and so will her weave

  73. EZRawlins

    “Tell Shaneyney, Kiki, and Shabrenda to take out the multi-color hair tracks and stop having 15 kids with 15 different daddies.”

    HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAH! Damn, that has got to be the FUNNIEST thing I’ve ever read. FRO is too much…

    I could care less which label Ashanti signs with; I just hope she continues to wear short dresses! She has the FINEST thighs of anyone in the biz!

  74. yes

    i doubt it, but still he never released olivia’s cd, what would she think he can do for her career?


  75. 50 TALKED ABOUT HER LIKE A DOG NOW HE WANTS TO SIGN HER WOW

  76. Ms Sharmaine

    Great title!!!!! If she goes to G-Unit 50 owns her. I remember how he talked about her like a dog on BET. Who cares if she slept with Irv. I think she needs to worry about reviving her career if possible and G-Unit is definitely a bad idea.

  77. No Matta

    No matta how much Ashanti leans in her dances now while she’s singing, she’s not going to look any skinnier.

  78. getreal101

    noooooooooooooooooooooo

  79. Mocha Java

    Gorillas love their bananas

  80. Monotheistic Proof

    @PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    I am glad that you see through this dude also.

    He literally hated to get into the game and hated to stay in the game.

    After seeing rap tragedys like Tupac and Biggee he brought that unhealthy beef back to the spotlight.

    I question his ability for rap longevity but he does have the hustle to keep his fortune. He will be the new Ice T in 5 years. IMAO

    BTW- That’s one of the most creative blog images on here.

  81. Randomonium

    WTF??


  82. @Randomonium

    You are free to express yourself.

  83. nodoze

    She can’t sing and she’s not cute. I’ve never understood the attraction to her. Has anybody really looked at her? There is something funny with the placement of her eyes.

    She only became famous because Aaliyah died and they wanted to replace her. Ashante was the closest thing.

  84. MustBtold

    (A) must be the gorilla because she is the only joke.

    She can’t hit a note if it was to save her life. I guess if you f…… for tracks you got it like that. Wouldn’t you think that if she so call sold X# of millions$$$ of what ever u want to call it. That your weave could be no should be looking better than that. ((((It an’t pretty at all)))

    Nelly tell your girl that the Xtime she goes in take a picture she needs clear all that hair from under her arm b4 she raises her arm up.


  85. Ashanti wont left the Inc. She will never leave this label… murda 4 life


  86. Large sexy ! I saw her profile in millonaire dating site”W e a l t h yL o v i n g . c o m”.Is she really has a sexy boy’s baby?
