Now, Ashanti is gearing up to go up against Keyshia Cole in what should be a spectacular Verzuz battle. While speaking to The Shade Room, Ashanti was asked about the J Lo "What's Luv?" connection and what she thought about the whole ordeal. As she explained, Ashanti believes it had a lot to do with wanting more money.
"I feel like as an executive, he was probably chasing the bag more, and at that time, I wasn't even signed to Murder Inc," Ashanti said. "For him I think it was you know J Lo is just a huge huge artist. She still is. So he was probably on 'Let's get the money.'"
J Lo's inclusion in the song is definitely one of those "what if" moments although we're glad it was Ashanti who got the final call. As for her Verzuz tonight, let us know who you think is going to win, in the comments below.
