: 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
she should do it ha body is bangin, but...i dont blieve it cuz white folks dont wanna look at all dem curves and meat, u know dat mag cater 2 white dudes..if so, I would take me a looksie!! LOL..c ashanti is alright when she stfu, so if she wasnt talking or doin that shi* she calls singing I could stand to look at her fine as*!!
@classicblackness
You black Bit*ch.
I knew you would come on sometimes.
It goes to show you how stupid you are.
I am not who you think I am.
If that makes you feel good, then keep on thinking.
Like I said before KISS MY AZZ.
Your Mama is a Bit*ch.
Your Daddy is a Bit*ch.
Your Children a stupid Motha Fuc*kers.
Your entire family can eat my AZZ.
DANG! its alot of comments already mostly hating on my girl Ashanti as always.She has the body and is beautiful anyway you can tell from her pictures in the blackmen magazine (december/january 2009)that she doesn't have to be nude just to look great she looks great regardless so I dont think she will be nude if she did do playboy because she has high MORALS and she wouldn't just throw them away for MONEY.If she does do playboy it would be tasteful & artistic like she said.SO PEOPLE STOP HATING!!!!!
Um Ashanti....I think you better ask Kim K about her Playboy photo shoot....She had the same sentiments about how her particular photo shoot was NOT going to show any nudity. 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
*bangin
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
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
FIRST OFF did yall c what ilikewhitegirls or lovewhitegirls said...THEYD RATHER C PARIS HILTON....OH WOW. yeah maybe u will catch a blister or two while u r catchin a peek. 2ND..why does everybody always be on her so tough? i remember when everybody started sayin she couldnt sing. it was after a performance where her voice cracked on stage. did yall know her grandmother had died that night and instead of not showing she did anyway. 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!
You people are retarded as hell if you think Ashanti is broke, are you kidding me? You people are so stupid it makes no sense for you to even exist, if she's broke then the majority of the industry is broke.......this girl has money coming out her anus, why do you guy's say she has no talent when in fact she's one of the best writers in the business, she writes for singers and rappers, she's a producer, she's an actress, she's a director and she's a good singer, why do people have to scream from the top of their lungs to be considered the best, to me that's not singing, I like Ashanti's voice, it's peaceful and mellow, laid back........you people are just ignorant if you think just because you don't see a celebrity out then that means their not doing anything, they make more money than the people you actually see. 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.
someone mention prostitution, isn't that the same as throwing your ass, vagina in people faces while singing.....Beyonce, Ciara, Lil Kim, are all nasty bit*hes.......they dance all slutty but people say nothing about it, you know I'm coming to a realization that people just don't like this woman, no matter what she does it's not right for you people, you talk about her, say whatever you have to say, if I were her I would not represent, or do anything for you blacks , I would go straight to the white side, cater to them, since clearly she gets no love from you blacks......at least they would welcome her. Dumb [EXPLETIVE]!
all yall dumbazz's who on here talking about she poor she need to get that money, yall sound like some damn fools. shanti is far from poor and most likely making more money than all yall azz's yall some haters foreal and yall need to stop it with her last cd flopped and she gon need to stay relevant somehow, please do you think one album that didnt do so well is going to hurt her that much??? please yall idiots need to get it together and for robo ho stfu damn dont everybody wanna be beyonce i understand your bitter because your nowhere near beyonce's level but not everyone is like that get a life sweetie
WHO CARES AS LONG AS SHE IS NOT TRYING TO SING! I'M SHOCK HER CONTROLLING MOTHER WOULD LET HER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! MOST OF THE TIME PLAYBOY HAVE TOTALLY NUDE WOMAN SO I DON'T SEE WHAT SHE WOULD BE PLANNING ON TRYING TO HIDE. IF NELLY STAY WITH HER AFTER LETTING THE WORLD SEE HER GOODS, I WOULD BE SHOCKED.
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.
@chi-hop
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.
Tiff2fresh Flag post @fire4u 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.
@ROBO-HO
I didn't think they let 5 y/o on MTO, you are the dumbest human being on this site, who the hell is beyonce anyway? Ashanti is the Queen bi**h, you take your illiterate a** along with that illiterate beyonce and you guy's attend school are something.....a mind is definitely a terrible thing to waste. No one can ever be Ashanti, Ashanti is Ashanti, she's a great writer, a beautiful role model, a great producer and a great actor.......no fabrications you idiot.
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.

tupac4lyfe.
you are not reporting facts. The only reason i say that is because of what you said about Beyonce's numbers.
Beyonce has surpassed a million copies!Check your facts , hon. No. 2 on the billboard charts! Ashanti disappeared from the charts. There is no platinum emblem by her name. Correct me if i am wrong.

@roww
who ever think beyonce can sing need to clean their ears.....Ashanti voice is better, you guy's just don't like her because she doesn't scream and shake her a** in your faces. Ashanti girl phuck the haters and keep your head up.....ignore the black [EXPLETIVE] that tear you down all day, it's funny because they are riding the hell out of the whites coat tail......
@ idontlikeblackpeople...
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.
No Ashanti, don't do it. It's not worth it.
Some people on this post glorify money too much. What about self-respect, dignity, class? Do those things not matter as long as you're 'getting paid'.
Money can't buy a clear conscience or PEACE OF MIND.
I swear some people would sell their soul for a measly dollar :(
