Ashanti Responds To Irv Gotti, Calls Him A Liar

Ashanti is breaking her silence.

The singer has refrained from speaking out on social media and in interviews in the wake of Irv Gotti’s controversial comments. But she sat down with Angie Martinez’s “IRL Podcast” where she finally addressed his allegations about their secret romance.

“It wasn’t surprising to me,” she said when asked about Gotti’s “version of the story.”

In a clip from the interview, which airs tonight, Ashanti added, “Irv has flat out lied about a lot of things.”

Gotti previously told “Drink Champs” that he and Ashanti were in a relationship “every day for like two years” and that he came up with her hit “Happy” after they slept together.

Ashanti is setting the stage for her return to music. On Friday, she is set to drop her new single, “Falling for You.”
