Ashanti last dropped an album in 2008 "The Declaration", since then she's been very busy. She's about to release her new album "Braveheart"
Ashanti revealed that she patched things up with the Inc.’s flagship artist Ja Rule before he went to prison and also reunited with Irv Gotti after some years of not speaking.
"It was a lot of emotion, a lot of questions," she shared. "There's no animosity between us. Time was needed to heal… Everything is all positive. We had our black cloud and now we're all good."
The Long Island native is moving forward with a slew of future projects. One of which is a role in the sequel to the basketball flick "Coach Carter" and a spot in the film I Love Cinema.
"It's a little bit more risqué, more sexy than I've ever been. It's weird because she almost has a split personality. She's a teacher, but she has one of those sides."
In addition to the movie roles she's signed on for, Ashanti's fifth studio album will include guest spots featuring Busta Rhymes, R. Kelly, Rico Love and Keyshia Cole. The singer is especially proud of the Cole-assisted track, although it's unclear if the cut will make the album.
"The record is dope," she said. "I love it."
The Grammy Award-winning singer just announced that she has established her own label, Written Entertainment, under a partnership with Entertainment One Music.
