As he embarks on a comeback campaign to reclaim the glory days of The Inc. (formerly Murder Inc.), Irv Gotti’s first order of business is to drop R&B songstress Ashanti. During an interview with MTV News (below), Gotti expressed concern with album sales from last year’s The Declaration and noted frustration with their inability to conceptualize as they have in the past...

  • They need to work out what ever it is....I think he should keep her..(sad)
  • Let's start with Ashanti: talented song writer, but as an artist, she was one who never woed me or others with her singing capabilities: She's uncapable in fact of a "great" singer. Just another cute, aging face with not a whole lot of talent. Add her on as another 'has been' in an upcoming show for the Surreal Life. Okay, she won't be on the show, but I am just making a point.



    Irv Gotti: Up next. Do you really think people will support a man who publicly humiliates and disrespects his wife on TV? Who shows no concern for his family? Do you really think people will think your show is to showcase your family's life? Doubt it. You're a business man who is only doing the MTV reality show to "market" your music -- which I might add: no one is interested anymore. When we tune into your show, better believe it's for our viewing pleasure and not because we want to support your music. Don't believe me? Let's all wait and watch... lol.
  • Not surprised about that situation. She will surprise all. Sometimes what we think is the worst is a Blessing. Ashanti take your Blessing and keep moving



    B Blessed

  • ohhhhhhhh snap that's messed up. what's gonna become of ashanti now. stayed tuned same bat time same bat channel let's hope for ashanti's sake.:0
  • ITS ABOUT TIME ASHANTI GOT DROPPED, THE LAST HIT SHE HAD IN MY BOOK WAS THE ONE THAT HAD LORENZ TATE IN THE VIDEO. I THINK SHE GOT DROPPED BECAUSE SHE WASNT CONNECTING WITH GOTTI'S PENIS ANYMORE IF YOU GET MY DRIFT. GOTTI GOT JEALOUS CUS NELLY HAD MOVED "AHEAD" IN THE GAME WITH HER AND NOT HIM.
  • Gotti needs to get it together. Dropping Ashanti will be a bad mistake. She has the sex appeal. All she needs is a good album. If Gotti wants to get back on top, he has to revolutionize the game. It is not going to be easy but it is possible. He has to think way outside the box. If he really brings it, he can shut the whole game down. I am not pleased at the rap game right now. If not Gotti, somebody needs to revolutionize something. I am just really displeased at the whole music game period and I do not buy bootlegg. Would somebody please give me my monies worth?
  • Well Shyt happens... She aint had a hit, since mary Mary Mary with Scarface, after that, she got too girly!!lol, then Nelly prolley had somethhing to do wit it too
  • Look Herve, album sales is in its bad time right now. Other sing is Ashanti has nothing else to sell than her singing ability. So in this world of wack a*s beautiful girls, being hot can help.
  • um.....The Inc?....this is 2009, right?...make some hit records and people will care again...Ashanti's last album was a dud anyway...if he's dropping her, it's not bcause of the drama...its because her "Princess of R&B" title was revoked like 4 years ago...CHUCH!...
    • and oh yeah...

  • why am i not surprised that irv was going to drop ashanti. first of all he is still mad since she didn't rock with him and the company through their trying time. What artist would especially a female, come on now he really is bonkers like his wife has said, who would want a female to rock with them then if they really cared. And then him talking sh*t about speculating about sleeping with ashanti, if he did he did why keep throwing that sh*t out in the air . this is the epitome of a f*cked up nucca who really is dreaming. I can't see how his wife deb got involved with him in the first place, Deb had to be a gloddigger because i be damn if i would get myself wrapped up with a self center egotistical, f*cked up business man who is as crooked as a line a drunk man painted. mother fukcer like iva that nucca is finished and he knows it.
