Ashanti Denies Dissing Nelly In New Song
April 18th, 2008
R&B singer Ashanti has denied that her latest song, ‘Way That I Love You’, is taking a shot at her reported former boyfriend Nelly, saying that the song has nothing to do with the rapper, and is "just about real life.
In her new song, Ashanti gets revenge on an ex-boyfriend who cheats on her, prompting speculation that the song was inspired by her rumored relationship with Nelly – and drawing comparison to Justin Timberlake’s 2002 song, ‘Cry Me a River’, which was thought to be a not-so-subtle dig at his former flame, Britney Spears, who was rumored to have cheated on Timberlake.
However, Ashanti has denied that the song is about the ‘Hot In Herre’ rapper.
"It’s not [about Nelly]" she explains to People.com.
"I wrote that record last summer… The song is just about real life. It’s for every woman who has gone through it."
When asked whether the couple are still together, Ahsanti simply responded with, "We’re really, really good friends."
