THIS New York-born R&B diva went from dirt poor to living large, but she’s now worried about her dwindling bank account. The Grammy-winner is desperate for another hit album so she can get her life back on track! Who is she?
I'd say Whitney, but she was born in New Jersey. Hopefully, it's not Mary J. Blige. But she has struggled with hits over the past couple of years with her songs charting at just number 25 on the Billboard singles charts over that time.
Mary J. has publishing rights and her HSN fragrances sell really well. Plus, she has a few endorsement deals. She could be broke, but it's hard to imagine.
Ashanti, on the other hand, hasn't done much in years.
Not Mary J. but Ashanti might be a good guess...this is from her Wiki:
Ashanti confirmed via twitter that she is currently in the studio working on her fifth album, that is being released off her own record label Written Entertainment. Ashanti is rumored to be working with a slew of producers and artist, thus far this is all that has been verified... LT Hutton, Dr. Dre, Game, Theron Feemster bka Neff-U, The-Dream, Cool & Dre, Warryn Campbell, Carvin & Ivan, Common, Darkchild and Tank who co-wrote and co-produced with her the song Paradise. Ashanti’s new single & album is set to be released sometime in 2011.[38] Ashanti has also stated that she plans on releasing the album in the fourth quarter of 2011, with the first single being planned for a summertime release. In July 2011 a promo picture was released, rap-up revealed she has been in the studio with big names including Dr. Dre, Game, and Lil Wayne, and is expected to drop a new single in the next month. Single titles include “Paradise” and “She Can’t.
How about Mariah? That woman runs through money like it was water, and she hasn't had a hit in a while. Plus you know those twins of hers have everything every high-end designer ever made for babies.
Mariah has publishing rights and this is totally Mary J because she's supporting her non-working husband, his kids and probably paying his alimony. Mary spends well above her means and she only gets a small percentage of that HSN deal. Hell; why do you think she made it in the first place, she needed the cash.
I read on mediatakeout Ashanti just signed on to be with the black eyed peas taking Fergie's place. So, Ashanti isn't gonna be worried about money plus, she is on tour right now.
Whitney is from Jersey and she wasn't dirt poor. Mary J is always on somebody's album. She just had that hit out with Diddy.
Mariah? Are you people fuckin kidding me? Every album she's ever had over the past two decades has been a smash hit. Her CHRISTMAS album came out over a decade ago and I'll bet it hits the top ten again in a few weeks. She is nowhere near close to poor. And I don't think Ashanti has ever won a Grammy. This is Mary J. Blige all the way.

ReplyDeleteAre her initials MV?
ReplyDelete@Montana - I was also thought Mary J! Or the one who just got disengaged, Jennifer Hudson...

ReplyDeleteAt first I thought MJB because she is forever touring but MJB has tons of publishing money because she co writes with her sister.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Jennifer H is from NYC, I believe she is Chicago born.
I don't know if it's Jennifer Hudson - I bet she's got a pretty penny from Weight Watchers.
ReplyDeleteChristina Aguilera was born in NYC but I'm not sure if she isn't more pop than R&B.

yawn
ReplyDeleteMary J has also producing credits and other stuff I think. She works a lot it seems, even if she isn't high profile.
ReplyDeleteIf this a real blind (it is NE after all), I'd say Ashanti is a good guess.
Nicki Minaj?

Ashanti grew up in Glen Cove, Long Island. It is is an upper middle class area. I lived right next to it growing up. Not exactly dirt poor.
ReplyDeleteIsn't she living off Nelly's money also?
Mary J grew up dirt poor in the projects. She was still in the projects when her first single real love hit.
Isn't Ashanti rumored to be replacing Fergie in the Black Eyed Peas?
ReplyDeleteHow about Mariah? That woman runs through money like it was water, and she hasn't had a hit in a while. Plus you know those twins of hers have everything every high-end designer ever made for babies.

ReplyDeleteI'm going with Mariah, where is her money coming from? They said DIVA Mariah is definitely a diva.

Timebob, we must have been close neighbors. I grew up in Woodbury.
