Who Cares About Talent??

Posted by Bossip Staff

We must say that Ashanti has been looking rather good lately. Talent or no talent, selling records or not selling records, this broad has come a long way from the time when everything was “Bananas”.

She arrived at the Fashion Rocks concert rehearsal yesterday in NYC:

    FIRST

  2. JorgeOoOoOo

    Ashanti looks like she is getting plump…bossip is slow with the news today how about the story of Akon punching another fan in the face. This time a female fan at a concert.

  3. mzsweetface

    Ashanti looks nice. What’s up with Trina’s hair and make-up??? She’s an attractive girl, too bad she can’t get it right.

  4. "I GOT A LION IN MY POCKET, IM LYIN"(sxyQblondie says hey hey hey...it's friday!!)

    ASHANTI LOOKS CUTE. THOSE SHOES, I WILL JACK HER FOR THEM JOINTS!!

  5. finesseyoswaggerfool!!!

    Trina, the powdery eyebrows, No!

  6. Lady Architect

    Ashanti looks very nice. You are right about no talent and no sells these days. Why is she performing again? She’s a pretty lady though I’ll give her that.

  7. craig

    wow! ashanti is a mess.

    also a mess is trina.

    sigh

  8. Sawyer

    Gotta say, I’ve always had a little thing for her but would never admit it mainly because her (what I perceived) fakeness and voice just annoyed the hell outta me! But now that she a little bit more refined I can claim her now…lol! She is looking good and she can definitely get the business!

  9. Creole Baby Sho Loves Cone Bread

    she be eatin too much bananas. chubby ole bessie


  10. I’m not that type to attack thickness, I would love a nice roundabout female in my presence, but I think Ashanti, is getting larger then normal proportions, the weird thing is it just looks like its just in her face tho…

    …she is still a horrible artist tho

  11. HONEYCHILE

    i was very excited to see Ashanti looking good….and then i seen Trina…speechless

  12. Seely

    Ashanti is one, maybe two ham sammiches away from being a fat girl…

  13. Hot Sauce

    what is it with some of these hoodhos nowadays. Hoshanti and trina both got hella bodies but tranny mugs, i guess thats why god created doggy style.

  14. Oshie

    I love you hot sauce.

    All I remember about Ashanti’s early videos was that her sideburns gave me nightmares.

  15. *****catdolls *akapcd*

    bossip say:

    We must say that Ashanti has been looking rather good lately. i dont know what u guys at bossip talking about – ashanti looks a mess comparing to the way she looked back in the days….her face look really swollen – and it appears to me like she cant breath very well cause she have to suck that gut in lol

  16. ATL.FINEST

    I don’t know why Bossip think Ashanti is so bad. Out of all the nonsinger singers out there (Janet, C*****ie, Riri, Ciara) Ashanti is the best. She actually write her own songs so at least she won’t end up as broke as Rhianna.


  17. Trina needs to lay down ‘em lace front joints! asap!

  18. Ebony

    ..something about those wigs Trina wear screams Ms. Changs Wings and Wigs….


  19. WOW! Hot Sauce!

    I love Ashanti shoes! She looks great in those pics. Now, I have always like Trina but I am not liking the look she has here! Come on Trina “Baddest B”! You gotta step up ur game for the pics


  20. You know, people can hate on Ashanti all day, but that girl has matured into a gorgeous lady… And she looks healthy and beautiful… I’m sorry, but that heroin-addicted look a lot of celebs seem to be striving for is UNATTRACTIVE. Ashanti looks like a human – a damn fine one!!!

  21. Pisces Princess

    I love her!!!! Her CD was the ISH I wish she sold more but don’t worry theres plenty more where that came from!!!!

  22. RicoSmithicals

    ID HIT IT! :)

  23. *****catdolls *akapcd*

    LMAO

    maybe writing her own song is the problem she hasn’t a hit song since jah days *murder*

    i doubt riri is broke

    ri ri have hits song all year long

  24. Jay

    I mean no talent, how many people have talent now anyways, it is 70 – 80% studio now. I Kissed A Girl, lots of talent there yet it is played a lot, you just have to be catchy. Anyways Nelly must be tapping that more than usual making her burn more weight.

  25. joyce

    i love ashanti’s shoes!!! however, she really needs to push away from the table and hit up the gym with her man nelly. she has a double chin (it could be the angle of the photo but u doubt it) and looks very plump. not a good look when you are a celeb.


  26. Im not mad at ya Ashanti…

    Trina looks like a dead fish…sorry…

  27. Oshie

    I bet Ashanti tastes like ranch dressing.


  28. @ Oshie

    Where did that question come from?


  29. ashanti is mad cute but she got a little double-chin thing going on there.

    oh and trina is ugly as *****!thank god for that *****.

  30. Naideen

    What happened to Trina??? She use to be cute.


  31. I looked into my crystal ball…and saw a larger Ashanti in the next four years.

  32. Miss Take

    Ashanti looks ghetto-tacky here, and too fat.

  33. shaiy

    good?? really? i think she looks quite chubby, especially in the face area, while her arms make her look like a waitlifter. not a good look to me. did i mention that her outfit looks cheap…did she buy those clothes from house of dereon?!

  34. maddzzu (Yeah Palin is an ex beauty queen....... BUT CAN SHE WHOOP MICHELLEZ *****???)

    I was neber really a big fan as far as her looks but gotta admit homegirl lookin sexy with all dem curvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


  35. Four years or four minutes? One more Sloppy Joe and its a wrap….

  36. Truth Hurts

    Some of yall need to stop hating. If a person isn’t anorexic or bulimic, they are two ham sandwiches away from being fat.Stop it! Lol.

    Ashanti is what we in the south called thick. Women, people for that matter, come in all shapes and sizes.If she were a white woman with that shape, would she be chubby or thick. Not to bring race into, but the double standards are ridiculous.

    If you feel the need to respond to my post, that’s great. Just know, I’ve said what was on my mind and I won’t be responding to anyone’s comments about what I have said.

  37. sepia830

    Ashanti is adorable. I don’t get the put-downs regarding her singing. Ashanti is a way better singer than Beyonce–hands down.

  38. Necy

    what I want to know is, HOW THE HELL DID SHE SQUEEZE THOSE BIG-***** TIGHS OF HERS INTO THOSE SKINNY JEANS??????????? Damn!!!

  39. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals is rating the BOSSIP brothas--starting in the Usher thread!

    Why Ashanti got on them Dominatrix shoes?

  40. Necy

    she’s that thick now!!! and she doesn’t have any kids yet.. Damn she’s gonna be huge when she get’s preggers.

  41. Necy

    she does have a pretty face though!!!

  42. The_Truth

    Unless you can show us what you look like. . .there’s no WAY you ladies can speak down on Ashanti. That girls on point.

  43. BeReal

    Ashanti looks good

    Trina stills looks trashy

  44. I'm Just Me-OFFICIALLY WAITING ON HANNI BTW: 1/2 OF A PARTNER @ I'M JUST A DIVA FLEA MARKET!!!!! DIVA YOU AIN'T TELL ME RAY RAY GOT OUT!

    Ashanti looks cute!!!

    Um…Trina got the Tranny look on lock!

  45. Nina Knows

    Ashanti looks gorgeous!! how is she fat? damn you cant please everybody. She shouldnt loose one *****ing pound. Her face is round and smooth, not all boney and man looking. What is wrong with people. All black women look better on the thicker side, let them curves show.

    Ashanti doin the damn thang!!!

    Trina is a fugly *****. She always look tired, and beat up looking. This is one ugly *****t *****a, and dont get me started on them damn wigs..

  46. Black Beauty

    Ashanti looks cute, but she better slow down on the eating. She is getting a little chunky, you can see it in her arms.


  47. Lol @ Nikki.

  48. Ah HA!

    I finally found out why Trina looks so weird

    its those dam eyebrows.


  49. hot sauce u 2 funny dude but im out. sunshine cant hang.


  50. Bossip you are a mess!

  51. BE

  52. Lady V

  53. Bozo D. Clown

    Mmm… Ashanti…

  54. thizzica a fox

    who.stole.her.neck? that is all. her face is pretty and her size is fine.

    necklessness. THAT is an issue the presidential noms should address.

  55. Oshie

    @ Slim, I don’t know. Maybe I’m hungry.

    Ashanti is a steaming hot ugly mess OVER AND OUT!!!

  56. spanishbutterfly

    @ 830 i dont think ur listenin correctly .. ashanti does not or never will sound better than beyonce. have u heard bey sing in french? … she is the truth

  57. JJ

    Ashanti is hood rich cause she hood thick, Trina to much paste on the face. Niggz like that thick man, I don’t know what possess women to get stringy on a brother, keep the noodles man.

  58. Kesha: Gustav got a sister glad to be back at work, I never thought i'd see the day!(Kesha=Michelle Obama Stan!!)

    i ont even know what to say…NEXT>

  59. Encyclopedia Brown

    I would smash Ashanti with great vengence

  60. Sucker Free

    Ashanti lookin like that puffer fish. stop working out with Nelly and do some cardio mami.

    Trina…something in her eyes ain’t never right…does she have lead poisoning?

  61. versace

    Her arms are fat.

  62. thickems

    Give me those shoes Ashanti ! ! !

    They look like they are my size !

  63. ~*MahoganyGyrl (sorry Im from Brooklyn)*~

    ~*She looks great*~

  64. NYC Gal

    The only thing I like on Ashanti is her shoes. She needs to get a new hairstylist to give her a cut that *****ody is rocking right now. She also needs a personal trainer to tone her up. Nelly alone can’t do it!

  65. toosexy

    I mean I really be confused when people call people like ashanti fat, she is a nice size not to little not to small she has the curves in the right places, So I really don’t understand how someone could see her as fat. On that note ashanti looks fab right here I am loving the shoes, and the fit. I also love my girl trina, Not to sure how I feel about this pic of her thu but I do love my girl.

  66. tasty

    damn them shoes. im over here bout to orgasm over them damn shoes ashanti has on! anybody kno what designer?

  67. Stellargirl...chicity

    Trina please have your eyebrows threaded!!!! It last longer and is more feminine looking…..If yo eyebrows look like that yo cooch must be a grizzly bear ho!!! Sit down ho!!!! Ashanti looks nice with her curves. Hi Hatters

  68. NEWbagNcoupe

    I thought TRina was engaged and preg by Kenyon martin (the married man0?

  69. lil latte

    Love Ashanti’s shoes!!!

  70. 2GOOD4YA

    Ashanti looks good with the weight on it’s no need for all the negativity so you guys can promote fad diets and aneroxia talking hella ***** behind a computer….and then to say she looks cheap, her money is long it’s not everyday she has to be dressed all up it said she is coming from a rehearsal so why not be comfortable and she may even have on a $200 pair jeans for all we know…and those shoes are fire!!

  71. FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    YESSIR ASHANTI STAY LOOKIN’ GOOD-GOOD

    SHE CAN GET IT…I’D STRAIGHT RENOVATE HER WALLS IN AND MAKE HER DO THE SORE-COOCHIE WALK ALL DAY

  73. @ I got a lion…

    Co-sign! first thing i zoomed in on!! Love the shoes!!

  74. cmo

  75. Sunshine

    Yall must be smoking rocks?? Ashanti looks swole as Deebo! She brallic look at them arms I think she abusing steroids with her boo Nelly!!

    Trina- how you put a headband on top of a wig????

  76. FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    TRINA LOOKS SHE SNIFFS GLUE ALL DAY YO

  77. KENNEDY

    Somebody said how y put a headband on a wig…to funny. Ashanti always looks great to me. Trina the w***** not so much.

  78. Ashcakes

    Ashanti looks good, at first I thought she couldnt sing but then she tore it up on the national anthem at the dallas cowboys game in 07. I heard it on tv and had to come out and see who it was and ill be damned it was her.

  79. Black Beauty

    There are just no words for Trina.SMH

  80. DA TRUFF HURTZ!!! ( The Truth also Helps, Heals, & Hopes...)

    MAAAAAAANNN!!! ASHANTI LOOK SO GOOD N TASTY IN THEM PICS!!!

    MMM! MMMMM!! MMMMMMM!!!

    AND TRINA ACTUALLY LOOKIN LIKE A NORMAL CUTE CHICK!!!

  81. Mrs. Rodriguez

    Like I always say, at the end of the day they have way more money than we do. I am not going to hate! Ashanti looks good.


  82. Ashanti is not “fat” but by music and performing standards, she’s getting a bit chubby. She can get away with that in R&B though, so it’s no biggie.

    I was mainly gonna comment on how I thought it was a post about Foxy Brown…then i took a second look.

  83. boo boo

    Ashanti has a bangin’ body. wish I had it.

  84. bcan

    ashanti’s little weight & I say little because she’s hardly fat, looks good on her. she looks better now than she did before. and trina, lord have mercy. i be praying that a good stylist would just take her on as a project to prove how good their skills are. her style is horrible! bless her heart though for trying…

  85. Tia

    Ashanti has a nice physique. She may have put on a few pounds but she is not fat all. Her style of dress is always on point. People just need to say something negative. Her singing career may not be doing well but she is talented.

  86. kenya

    I like ashanti always did. she’s cute and i’m thinking i need to pull a lick for the shoes,where the heck is ahanti fat? she looks like a naturally thick girl you see around the way every day.

  87. joey bishop

    i dont know man,trina fine but she aint fine.and that black weave aint her.that ***** need the fashion police.she a burnt up ***** tho.

  88. joey bishop

    ashanti aint all that.she still got that ugly ***** chin mouth..ashanti look like she aint about ***** tho,like a nicca have to keep checkin her attitude n bad personality.


  89. Maybe I am blind but Ashanti has a double chain. There is a fine line between thick and sloppy. She is headed toward the sloppy side. Alica Keys is thick but she is tone and has a waist line, most of all she does not have a double chin. Being thick is not an excuse to let yourself go.

  90. Sunshine

    Ashanti looks like Janet Jackson here


  91. I’LL ***** THAT JUICY ***** AND SKEET SKEET ON NELLY BUMPY FACE.

  92. Carla

    Ashanti looks cute but she should tone a bit and use the Master Cleanse then she’d be back in business.
