Ashanti had a conversation with Fat Joe on Instagram Live last week and revealed that Irv Gotti and Ja Rule wanted Jennifer Lopez on his hit "What's Luv?" instead of her. Joe told the singer, “Irv and Ja had called me, and they woke me up [at] like 3 in the morning, and they say, ‘Yo, come down, we made a song for you. I go to the studio, it was like 4 in the morning. They played ‘What’s Luv?’ and you on it. And they was telling me, ‘Yo, this is for you and J. Lo. We want the Latinos on this.”
Ashanti was shocked and replied, “What? . . . Yo, I never knew that."
Joe continued, “I was like, yo, J. Lo? She [Ashanti] sound amazing on here. I was like, ‘Nah, we leaving her there.'”
Ashanti said, "He was always trying to take records from me! God D*MN!!!! “What the! You know I don’t curse in front of my fans.”
