Ashanti gets into heated exchange with Joe Budden over ‘stripper’ jabs

The Grammy-winning singer schools rapper like the badass feminist she is

Nov 30, 2017

During an interview on the “Everyday Struggle” show, Ashanti schooled Joe Budden when he suggested that her clothing choices is the reason why she was recently treated like a stripper on stage.

The Grammy-awarded singer was promoting her new single, “Say Less,” when Budden took a jab at her, suggesting that a recent incident in which a fan threw money at her on-stage was because of her outfit.

“Hold it,” she said. “I had on a body suit, with boots, which 90 percent of my peers wear, which we perform in. We’re there to do a show, so that’s what you wear.”

She then asserted that strippers wore much less and were all but “naked,” insisting, “I’ve never seen a stripper in a body suit.”

When Budden tried to say that she hadn’t “been to a strip club lately,” she insisted that she was at Ace of Diamonds just last month. Budden tried to cover by insisting that “AOD is not New York,” but Ashanti wasn’t having it.

“Is New York the only place that has strip clubs?” she asked incredulously.

She went on to compare the idea that someone would think she was a doctor if she wore a stethoscope to the idea that people would treat her like a stripper because of her outfit.

“Do I want money thrown on me because I’m in a body suit? No.”
