OH MY F–KING GOD!!!! I can't believe the Ashanti parody website of killings of black people. WTF is wrong with her!!!!!!!!!!! I can't beleive she actually let her record label set up that disgusting website.
Did Prince recover from his hip replacement surgery yet?
i'm confused. what the heck was that????????
Aaaaoooowah!!!
That is one fabulous 50! I can't even rock stilettos like he does, and I'm a girl.

Ps. Hip surgery was a rumor.
The hip surgery was a fact. It was confirmed by his reps months ago. If I can find the link i'll post it.
Ashanti's website allows anyonw to write a personalized message on the "bloody wall". Someone wrote "black children will die" on there and sent it to WAOD. Whether that person was being a real-life psycho, or just trying to stir some s#!*, I don't know. While the advertisement is strangely morbid for Ashanti, the message itself wasn't the doing of her PR people. I looked at it the first time and was like "this is the worst Photoshop ever."

Regardless, DDana, why promote news reels of violence for a pop album? Doesn't the news media do that enough every night? And, Ashanti SUCKS as an artist, or whatever you want to call her!
Hey, you'll get no arguments from me about the shocking depths of Ashanti's sucktitude….
Nasir Jones. A very creative man. It's too bad you decide to wrap your creativity in ignorance. When it comes down to it, a white executive is still getting paid off your back to act like a monkey. The older generation failed us?!? Oh, the same ones that had dogs and water hoses turned on them. The same ones who died for you to run around and show your a$$ mouthing off about your bank roll Mr. Nas Escobar. Give me a break.
