Ashanti isn’t selling out shows like she used to.
Ashanti may have 3.8 million Instagram followers, but apparently those numbers mean nothing in the real world. Later this month, the 38 year old Murder Inc. Princess was slated to perform at Stony Brook University’s “Back To Brook” event. Disappointingly enough, the show was canceled after only 24 tickets were sold.
The school released the following statement, “As an organization, we do our best to host programs for students while providing diversity and inclusion. However, we have struggled to execute certain aspects. With only a week before the concert, only 24 tickets were sold to students.”
Originally, Teyana Taylor was scheduled to perform at the event, but pulled out of it at the last minute. Ashanti was then asked to replace TT as the new headliner, leaving her with minimal time to promote herself.
Back in June, during an interview with ET, the “Rain On Me” singer opened up about her joint project with Ja Rule (which they are currently working on), “We’re gonna carve out the time and make it happen. It’s so funny because we’ve been talking about that for so long, but I think now he’s like ‘OK, now it’s time to do it.'”
