Ashanti Music Video Controversey

I’m not really an Ashanti fan at all, (she’s cute and has nice clothes though) but I have to talk about the controversey that’s springing up from “The Way That I Love You” music video and her website’s murder greeting cards. One group is so outraged that they are going to protest, the negative imagery of violence ( particulary two black people)

The video is basically about a woman (Ashanti) who finds out that the man she’s in love with is cheating on her. during the video she thinks about what would happen if she killed him.
here’s the video

The new name change from “Nigger” to “Nas” meant that Nas had to make a new cover to prove his point.

Toni Braxton Done with Vegas

Toni Braxton’s Vegas days are over. Toni was rushed to the hospital about two months ago for chest pains and her shows at Harrah’s have been halted ever since.
