Since his debut, Ashanti’s sole career skyrocketed to the top. The sensation last night that ruled the charts with countless single number 1, broke the record with the hooks and attractive RP features. Ashanti has sold more than 27 million records worldwide and almost 12 years later continues to hold his place in the Guinness Book of Records. Ashanti has reached a fetus that cannot even be dreamed of by most artists today. His mother named him after the kingdom in Ghana and Ashanti finally created one of his own. His net worth is reportedly $ 30 million from album sales, royalties of song writing and best -selling tour. In 2014 he returned to the music scene which stated to the world of “I Got It”.
Ashanti Douglas was born and raised in Glen Cove, an area located in Long Island New York. Tina’s mother pays attention to the ability to sing as a child. With his mother’s support, Douglas recorded his first demonstration with a local producer named Irv Gotti. Gotti is the founder of Murder Inc. and used Ashanti to write hooks for a number of production including Big’s “How We Roll”. Ja Rule Murder Inc. is the first artist in the label to release his album. Once his career released the entire label began to get public attention.
Ja Rule’s biggest single featured Ashanti’s beginner vocalist in Kait. Credit and writing features of the song allows his debut album to collect a lot of hype and anticipation. In April 2002 Ashanti dropped her first album to sell more than 500,000 copies in the first week. To this day he holds Guineas’s world record for the fastest sales debut by a female artist. Douglas’s music continues to shine with Chapter II and Rose concrete both will become platinum.
In 2003 rumors began to emerge that the record of the murder was being investigated. The label is accused of having a narcotics connection with Kenneth McGriff. McGriff was once the highest team leader, a gang that controls the distribution of Crack cocaine during the late 1980s in the Taman Baisley Housing project in South Jamaica, Queens. The highest team is responsible for more than $ 200,000 in a daily drug transaction. In 2005, Irv Gotti surrendered to the police authority who faced accusations of washing more than $ 1 million drug money from Crack and Heroin Multistate operations. That is the end of Inc. and all artists related to labels, including Ashanti.
Douglas released his last album about the murder label “The Declaration” in 2008. According to the new interview, Ashanti hated being in the murder of Inc. at the peak of the FBI investigation and criminal accusations. He only lives with the label because of the contract agreement. He and former boss Irv Gotti also began to disagree. It was a tense experience in Ashanti’s career.
Inn 2014 he rebounded with the new album “Braveheart” on the independent label “Writen” along with Eone. This album debuted on the Billboard 200 at number ten, becoming the fifth album of Ashanti.
