Ashanti Will Re-Record Self-Titled Debut

Ashanti, after recently appearing during Ja Rule's 'Verzuz' against Fat Joe, will be re-recording her debut album.
She recently revealed that she now owns her masters to her 'Ashanti' album.
Ashanti said, "It’s so surreal. I have an amazing legal team, and I got my first record deal when I was 14 years old, so understanding and seeing how things have changed so much from then to now and conceptually understanding what you’re signing is so imperative, it’s so important nowadays. The fact that I’ll be able to re-record my first album, and put everything together."
She continued, "It’s so humbling. It is such an honor. I’m so grateful. It’s such a blessing, you know, the fact that we are still here, we’re living through a pandemic, and these blessings are still coming in, it just makes me so happy again, so humbled, and such a believer. There’s a higher power, and I think that just being as a person and praying and putting your heart into things you get that energy back, and I think that’s so important. So I’m just really, really happy."
