ASHANTI: POSTPONES ALBUM TO EARLY 2008....

Well, Mariah isn't the only one who has postponed her new album from December to next year. Apparently, Ashanti's forthcoming album The Declaration will no longer be released on 11th December but it will now be released in "the first quarter of next year". On Oct 16, Ashanti dropped by NY radio station HOT 93's Breakfast show, where she actually admitted that the album won't drop until next year.


She STILL remains COY about her relationship with rapper Nelly. She also talks about how she almost got hit when Kid Rock and Tommy Lee came to blows at the VMA's. Her fella Nelly had to move her out the way. She talks about her new album and confirms that she's worked with Robin Thicke, Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, Pharrell Williams, Bryan Michael Cox and a bunch of other hot producers and she also admits to still being signed to Murder Inc (via Universal). How can she go wrong with those producers? Sounds like a winning formula to me but we'll see. PART TWO of the interview is after the cut.
