Ashanti’s momager Tina Douglass says she’s slightly bitter that her daughter’s record has been broken by Susan Boyle. Apparently Ashanti has held the record for the last 8 years for the biggest debut sales week for a female on the Billboard charts. (Who knew?)
Speaking to WENN, Tina said that she was happy that Scot star Susan has done so well – but felt a bit bitter about the whole episode, because of how hard Ashanti has worked to get to where she is now.
She said: It’s a double-edge sword… We were happy for her (Boyle) but Ashanti held onto that record for eight years and that was a big feat to accomplish with the music industry the way it is.
“This is my personal opinion: people wanna be successful and they’re gonna take whatever route that they can. At the end of the day, before Ashanti blew up in 2002, it took me nine years of struggling with three record deals that failed. It was a struggle, it was hard, but it built character.”
However, Tina said that her daughter won’t be giving up any time soon – and that music fans should expect bigger things in the next few years.
She continued: “I’m not gonna knock anyone who has their hustle, and that’s what I’m calling it… It’s a little bit different, but we’re blessed to be where we are. Ashanti’s talent speaks for itself. In the next year or two we’ll be looking to break other records.”

Justin Combs is about to get the best birthday party ever. MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16″ is filming his birthday party this Saturday at an undisclosed club M2 Ultra Lounge in NYC (damn our readers are good). The theme of the party: “The Prince of New York.” What else would it be when your dad crowned himself the King of NY? Diddy is bringing in Chris Brown, Dirty Money, Snoop, and maybe even the Carters.
A source said, “The club will be decorated with images from the New York skyline. Diddy will perform with his band, Diddy-Dirty Money, but there will also be some big-name performers taking the stage to surprise Justin.” Guests will also include Combs’ pals Snoop Dogg, Lil’ Kim, boxer Floyd Mayweather and possibly Jay-Z and Beyoncé. The source added, “It’s going to be big, but it won’t be as lavish as Diddy’s 40th. Instead of gifts, guests will be asked to make a donation to the Haiti fund.”
Well this ought to be interesting. I’m sure mama Misa and grandma Janice will be coming through with the best of ‘em. Diddy hosted Kim Porter’s son Quincy’s Sweet 16 just a few years ago as well.
