ASHANTI BACK IN STRIDE

Now solo without Nelly, Ashanti has stepped back on the scene. She hit up the Footwear News Achievement Awards


Ashanti introduced Designer of the Year Giuseppe Zanotti, and she took some time out from the evening to dish about her love for the shoe star. “I’ve been infatuated with Giuseppe since my first album. I’m so proud of him,” said the singer. The songstress, who is working on a new album, also recently inked a production deal and is busy at work producing a TV series. “I’m behind the scenes on this one. I might pop up [on the show] here and there, like Diddy or Trump, but I’m mostly behind the scenes,” she joked.
