Also, SEVEN years ago, today, “Ashanti” was released. April 2nd, 2002 was the day the story we all call “Ashanti” official began. Since then, Ashanti has accomplished many things in her career. She has become a writer, an actress, a philanthropist, producer, writer, dancer, amongst many other things. She holds the record for biggest first week sales by a debut female artist, having sold over 500,000+ albums in one week. She is also the first female artist, and only second to The Beatles, to have THREE Top 10 Hits in the same week. That same week, while “Always On Time”, “What’s Luv” and “Foolish” were all in the Billboard Top 10, a song Ashanti wrote and sang background for, Jennifer Lopez’ “Ain’t It Funny” was also in the Top 10. “Ashanti” won many awards, including a Grammy, 8 Billboard Music Awards, 2 American Music Awards, the Aretha Franklin Award for Entertainer Of The Year and many more! The Album has sold 7 million copies world wide and produced several hits such as “Foolish”, “Happy” and “Baby”. I can go on and on about all the great things this album accomplished, and with that said, Happy 7th anniversary “Ashanti”!
Here are some rare photos of Ashanti on her 27th and 28th birthday parties. I personally never seen these before. Each thumbnail below redirects to a different location. Enjoy.

Two good friends of mine (Beth and Shane) traveled to Michigan on October 10th to see Ashanti perform live at the Soaring Eagle Casino. They were able to meet up with Ashanti backstage and they gave her birthday gifts and a fan-made DVD made by Steven with messages and special footage of fans wishing Ashanti a happy 28th birthday. Below are some photos they shared with us and a video of Ashanti receiving the gifts.
