Ashanti
Denies Video is Aimed at Nelly
4/19/08
R&B star Ashanti has laughed off reports the music video for her
new single Way That I Love You serves as a warning to her rumored
boyfriend Nelly.
In the new promo, the singer is seen wielding a knife and seeking
revenge on a cheating ex-lover.
But Ashanti - who has long been linked to the Hot In Herre hunk, but
never confirmed the romance - insists the track isn't aimed at Nelly.
She tells People Magazine, "It's not! I wrote that record last
summer... The song is just about real life. It's for every woman who has
gone through it.
"It's a rude awakening when you get used to being happy, but it's
a part of life. I didn't kill the person!"
However, she does confess to doing some investigating of her own on a
previous partner she suspected of infidelity: "Of course I've
snooped! Before (Sidekick pagers) came out, I was snooping through regular
cell phones, everything! Whatever he had out, I was all in it!"
And she is still remaining coy over her rumored relationship with
Nelly, saying of the hip-hop star: "We're really, really good
friends."
