MTO WORLD EXCLUSIVE: ASHANTI MAY POSE FOR PLAYBOY!!!


 







December 22, 2008. Could Ashanti be the next celebrity to pose nude in Playboy Magaine. Well that’s what MediaTakeOut.com is hearing. For months, we’ve been hearing that Playboy has been pursuing Ashanti – even offering her a six figure contract to pose.

And last Friday, Ashanti confirmed that she’s considering it. MediaTakeOut.com learned that duing an interview with NY radio personality Angie Martinez, Ashanti claimed that she was “considering” Playboy’s offer.

But Ashanti did leave a few caveats. Ashanti explained, “I would never get naked and show everything. But you know how they do campaigns where it’s tasteful … artistic.”

Ashanti … our advice to you. Get that paper while their still offering it….

Members of the press ARE REQUIRED to credit MediaTakeOut.com. If you don't We'll PUT YOU ON BLAST ... And trust, this ain't the kind of market to be known in the world of journalism as a PLAGIARIZER

    Sorry I was not around to respond to you this weekend, but guess what? I have a life. I'm sorry that you live your obviously very miserable life for MTO and beefing on MTO. Wait, no I'm not sorry...h e l l it's not my fault you hate yourself and get off on attempting to berate people you don't even know. How simple-minded that this kind of stuff is fun for you. You really should consider EDUCATION...cause for real...a mind is a terrible thing to waste!!

    You really think it matters to me if you are male or female??? Am I supposed to afraid because you claim to be a man?? However, if you are a man, you are even more PATHETIC than I thought. What tha fuc ever!! One thing is for sure, your IGNORANCE shines through regardless of your gender!!!

    Enjoy beefing with yourself!! You have been dismissed! NEXT!!

It was going to be a artistic layout...and when she got there she had EVERYTHING out. Make sure you get it in writing girl....Don't let Hef get ALL the "Good Good"

    LOL@ spanishlover. I know right? Playboy be havin mostly boney white chicks. If Ashanti does do this it will be something different and new. LMFAO@ “I would never get naked and show everything. But you know how they do campaigns where it’s tasteful … artistic.” See..... this is why U should NEVER say NEVER. When she said that she NEVER thought she would be broke enough to even CONSIDER Playboy.

    Doubt it. She tries too hard to be "cutesy" I hate the fact that EVERY single picture she takes looks like she's saying, "Cheeeeesee" as she places one hand on her hip.

    She's been in the business too long to still be doing the same shyt - damn, learn SOMETHING from Beyonce and the other chicks out there. That cheesy shyt gets you offered a gig lip singing at the local Piggly Wiggly.

    Playboy is either a platform for nobodies to pose for the chance to become somebodies, a last ditch effort for has beens, and older mom who used to be bagin and feel the need to validate themselves and show the world they still "got it".

    And Ashanti hasnt looked THAT is shape in a very long time. The last pics I saw of her, her neck was getting real thick. But if she choses to do it, I'm sure she'll get her natutally athletic figure back in shape

    anyway I agree w/ ms_thang17

    Kim K swore she was gonna do something not too revealing, and although it wasnt full on nudity she did show alot. I also think Kim is the thickest broad Playboy has ever had on their pages.

    Stacy Dash and Garcelle Beauvious (sp) have been on there as well but both those chicks have always been very slim. And Playboy likes Big Titties, but Charlieze Theron is very small chested and she's been on Playboy as well

    I guess she has to make her money somehow...I aint mad at her but geez why not try to put out a halfway jammin album first? This makes her look desperate for attention and she doesn't have to do that. I still jam her "Foolish" album til this day so I know she has it in her. Maybe she should switch labels or something....
     

    ErlyByrd
    Ashanti doesnt need to resort to play boy do what all the other celebs do. Make perfume, attach your name to a tacky clothing line, be in more movies, and last but not least do what you did in the "good good" video prance around half naked at home and wait for Nells. Ashanti just make some babies and live the good life with nelly.
    The End.

    It is so sad how Murder Inc let 50 Cent tear their label apart. Ja Rule and Ashanti used to be the shyt back in the day. Then 50 came along and tooik everything from them. Although I don't think Ashanti is all that great of a singer or dancer, I really liked her old songs. Now (if this is true, but coming from MTO I doubt that it is) she is resorting to playboy??? That is truly sad.

    Don't do it Ashanti, I agree with fire4U, you shouldn't have to resort to taking off your clothes for money, don't get me wrong a side of me wants to see her naked but not for the sake of a high profile sista or anyone for that matter taking off their clothes for money. Invest your money that you have now and just tour until you have enough, do some B movies too.

    Everyone is saying she isnt making money and her cd was a flop and its all about her being broke, Ashanti isnt freakin broke. I doubt this is about money at all even though she will definitely get paid. Some people actually find it an honor or compliment to be asked to pose for Playboy!! Hef doesnt run a tasteless business. Playboy isnt like Swank and Big Black Butts hahaha, this is a good thing for her I think. I say go for it.

    @Missamerica1 how do you know how much money Ashanti has? are you sleeping with her?

    Anybody who does playboy is at the end of their career. Remember Robin Givens...Stacey Dash??? an honor to pose for playboy huh? so does that mean we'll see Beyonce' or even Michelle Obama soon baring it all? you are a very delusional woman.

    Ashanti NEVER had any real talent. Playboy = broke it has nothing to do with being tasteless. I know you desperately want to live through these celebrities dear with a name like yours lol...sorry hun ole girl is done!

    @ missamerica1,

    Okay, you're tripping! Mr. Heffner's little business is not tasteless based on white standards!
    But it is the same depiction of the female anatomy that some of the black men magazines display. You view Playboy as tasteful..why??

    Your mind is just simply brainwashed to believe that white is right and that white is pure. Even when these white heffas take off all their clothes, sleep with an old man for money, and draw a huge check.

    Sounds like prostitution to me. Otherwise, "the girls next door" would not give old man Heff the time of day. Don't get it twisted.

    This is why i said in my prior post , that Ashanti can do the same magazine, and as a black woman, be viewed differently. This would be her exit. smdh

    I don't see what the big deal is. A woman never shows everything in Playboy. Maybe some nipple shots, but it's all artistic nudes that have been airbrushed to death. She would be dumb not to.

    Don't be surprised if they pull Nelly into a couple of the pics.
     

    jvinson
    ..and for those that think that white dudes won't be lining up to see her nekkid don't realize that most white dudes like their sugar brown and lust for dark meat on the low. They like hips and ass as much as black men do.

    Ok...so now does this mean she's going to enter the Miss America pageant, marry a handsome basketball player, have a daughter, get divorced, make another album and get on one of the highest television shows and win an emmy??? Oh my bad...that was Vanessa Williams.

What is the deal with SHE'S NO BEY..TAKE A LESSON FROM BEY..BEY SCHMEE. i love beyonce's music, but im so sick of everybody bein compared to her and i think she is too. Ashanti is a beautiful girl and has a pretty body, complection, personality from what i see on t.v. and if she wants to do Playboy then so be it. I wouldnt call it a desperate move i would call it a smart one so long as she doesnt break her morals. she does music bcuz thats what she loves not bcuz she is trying to appeal to the world. if she was then she'd be doin rock, country and so on. leave her alone dang. AND YES I WOULD HAVE TO GET THAT ISSUE. support ..support..support...quit comparing ppl to other ppl SHYT!

Some people are so blind, all the people that have hate in their heart should just die, seriously it makes know sense for you to hate on this woman for no reason, at least she keeps it real, and not a fake image like her counterparts(beyonce). I do not believe this is true considering she is the classiest, baddest, intellectual, strong chick left in the game, she would not do anything like that.

    I think Ashanti should do it while she still can because we all know how she goes up and down with the weight. Not to mention, once she marries Nelly and pops out a kid or two it's gonna be a wrap for her. I think the fact that Playboy reached out to her was the ultimate compliment. She's a beautiful woman and Playboy is acknowledging that.

    you are so right

    people were loving the inc...Ashanti, Ja Rule, they were the best label out there, great music and a real nice group of people. Now when 50 cent comes out and start to diss the inc, every fake fan turned their back, 50 cent told you not to like them and you followed his every command, that just shows how many weak minded people exist....LMAF people don't care about real music anymore, and Ashanti music is the truth, her music is real.

    I don't know if this is true. I don't know if this is a good idea. One thing I will say, is if she's dropping the top along with the drawers, I'm definitely getting that issue. One thing I will say is Ashanti can't expect to pose and then have her career blow up like it does White women. Like a lot of other said a few days ago. The rules for a Black woman and White woman are different and will likely always be that way as long as Whites and Blacks share a country together.

    She might as well pose, I don't think she has anything left to lose.
    *****
    Try her dignity. When you pose nude, it is forever engrained in the minds of many, for years to come, whenever they see you.
    Your kids and their kids will see it.Your parents, uncles and aunts will see it.
    If that is the legacy she wants to leave,then go right ahead. Start with the bra.

    Hugh Heffner will love it.

    Why didn't the haters hate on Jennifer Anderson last wk when they showed her posing naked. Know why cause she's is white and you love the ones who hate you.

    @ Isis

    You just don't get it, do you. In this society things are different for black women and white women. That is just the way it is. Black women can't do what white women do.

    A White woman can pose for Playboy but a Black woman can't pose in a men's magazine. A White Woman can do Girls Gone Wild but a Black Woman can't do a porno or do a rap music video. A white woman can have a sex tape but a black woman can't. That is just the way it is.

    And the reason why it is that way is because white woman have role models like Hillary Clinton, Maria Schriver, Katie Couric etc. So Playboy, Girls Gone Wild, a porno, a music video etc. is not going to taint their image.

    On the flip side, how many positive images of black woman are on television outside of entertainment artist? One is Oprah. Not many.

    So black women like myself have to create an image of class and strike down all the negative stereotypes that people have of black women.

    So no you can't do what the white woman does. It is not the same. White Women haven't had to deal with the negative stereotype that black women have had to deal with ever since slavery. Black women are always looked at as hypersexual Jezebels because the black females (slaves) slept with the white man (slaveowner)and the white woman created an image of black women because of jealousy.

    So black women can't do what white women do. Because for every white woman on Rock of Love or the Real World, there will always be a white man behind the scenes working to make sure the white woman's image is SPOTLESS.

    Do you honestly think that the same can be said about the Black Woman? And just because white women do it, doesn't mean that you should do it. It doesn't mean that it is right either.

    First off Ashanti doesn't have any breast to show, if she was to get on playboy, she has a azz.

    Second I believe Ashanti fell off so hard, from where she was dominating the game back in 02 now to doing a cover on playboy. I know you desperate for some exposure but damn this aint the way.

    I just want to see her back with Murder Inc. who produced her FIRST album, those love songs, etc on that album were the best. It is HARD nowadays to find an album like that. I would rather listen to her on a album, because she can't sing live and isn't a good performer!

    Did you just say Ashanti sings better than Beyonce. That's the kind of comment that is just looking for some kind of reaction because everybody know damn well Ashanti ain't on Beyonce's level. she'll have lil catchy songs, but when she get on stage to perform them, she be sounding horrible.

    I say she should pose. Anything to keep her out of that damn recording studio. She got one more time to make a song and go on Bet awards sounding like a cat on fire. Hell no. Tape her mouth and flick the pics.
