Ashanti + VMAs

Ashanti is a music industry veteran. Besides her own hits, she's been writing for years. Is it any wonder she'd choose the VMAs to self plug a song she wrote for J.Lo, who performed and received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award? I mean, it is a royalty check for her after all.

On that note, she served face but was never really one for slaying her red carpet looks.

😩 #Ashanti said she wants #JLo to perform one of the songs she wrote for her. #theshadeisreal 😂😂 #VMA’s
