Ashanti has these ‘social media streets’ singing a collective “Baby, baby, baby, baby, babyyyy” just like she sang back in the day. Why? Because of the online photos she shared on Saturday (July 7, 2017). Now, we already know Ashanti’s a beautiful woman, but when she posted her barely there bikini swimsuit pics, showing her thick thighs, ‘apple bottom,’ and tiny waist, her fans were like ‘Good Gawd girl!’ And understandably so.
Throughout the years, Ashanti’s physique has taken on a life of it’s own and this time was no different. Check out her pics below and some of the comments her fans left…

On a side note, I wonder if her ex-boyfriend, Nelly, is checking her pics out on the low. I know he’s in a long term relationship with Floyd Mayweather’s ex-girlfriend, Shantel Jackson, so that’s no diss to her. However, that hasn’t stopped ‘Mr. Ee-I-ee-I’ from checking for Ashanti in the past, AFTER he and Ashanti’s breakup.

In 2015, Vibe reported how Nelly- who was also dating Shantel then- had a tough Instagram feud over Ashanti, with his former friend/St. Louis rapper, Loose Cannon S.L.I.M.. Loose Cannon seemed to taunt Nelly, by posting a bikini pic of Ashanti and labeling her his Women Crush Wednesday (#WCW) crush on Instagram:
Nelly then responded by posting a throwback Apple Bottoms ad of himself with S.L.I.M.’s baby mama topless. His caption implied he’d had some type of sexual encounter with the baby mama after the photo shoot back then:
Loose Cannon then posted a throwback pic of Nelly’s current girlfriend, Shantel Jackson, when he auditioned her for an Apple Bottoms ad back in the day. He, too, implied that he had sex with Shantel and that her new body was paid for by Floyd Mayweather. By the way, Floyd then posted an Instagram message on his page, telling his fans to go follow Loose Cannon- seemingly meant to be some side shade toward Nelly and Shantel as well:

So, yeah…it got a lil’ heated for a minute and hopefully they’ve squashed their tension. Point is though: Nelly checks for his ex…at least he did two years ago. So again, wonder if he’s still doing it now. If he is, it’s understandable because Ashanti’s bikini body is catching everybody’s attention these days.
