(October 13, 1980- )
Birth name is Ashanti Douglas
Protege of JaRule's Murder Inc. Records
Recorded 'Foolish,' 'What's Love (With Fat Joe),' and 'Always On Time (With JaRule)'

She goes by the pretentious single name Ashanti.
She is criticized for her less-than-stellar live performances.
'Foolish' is a sample of Notorious B.I.G.'s 'One More Chance.'

Before her debut album even came out, she had three top ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
She turned down a track scholarship to Hampton University to pursue a singing career.
