According to Ashanti, a music producer demanded that she shower with him or face a hefty bill.
The 42-year-old singer explained that she was in a “crazy situation with one producer” with a producer she had been working with for several weeks, who then ordered her to get naked with him or face paying him $40,000 (approximately R698 000) for each track he recorded with her.
“We did two records together, he was like, ‘Okay, I’m not gonna charge you, you know you my homie,’ she explained on the “Breakfast Club” radio show.
“When it came time to put it on the album, he was like, ‘Well, let’s take a shower together’. I thought he was joking, and then he was like, ‘Nah, I’m dead serious. Let’s go out, or let’s take a shower together, and I’ll give you the records. If not, I need 40 racks per record’.”
The story horrified host Charlamagne tha God, who remarked, “Jesus Christ,” before Ashanti went on to reveal that after the proposition, she made sure the situation was “handled”
She added, “I thought he was joking because we had been working together for a couple weeks. But it turns out that he was serious. I had to make some phone calls, and stuff was handled. It was wild.”
Ashanti did not name the man involved, but she previously spoke out about the same incident in 2018, revealing that she turned down a producer who had “a little crush” on her and “all of a sudden, the track became $45K”
She claimed that her family intervened, and that the man apologised by giving her “three records for free” adding, “And I got two of them mixed and mastered for free.”
