Ashanti revealed her own sexual harassment experience in the music business.
The singer opened up about her own #MeToo experience during SiriusXM's ?Conversations with Maria Menounos? radio show where she revealed what a producer once tried to make her do.
"I've come across a situation where there was a certain producer that, you know, he had his little crush or whatever, but it wasn't anything new, you know?" she said. "And once I said 'no,' all of a sudden the track became $45K."
"It's funny because he said something like, 'Well just take a shower with me and let me do this,'" she recalled.
Ashanti, now 37, said that lucky for her she had "scary" big brothers who approached the producer and got their sister an apology.
"The way that apology came in, I actually got three records for free!" she said. "And I got two of them mixed and mastered for free also."
The "Happy" singer said some women aren't so lucky and that is why the #MeToo movement is important, so that no more women have to feel pressured into doing anything just to make it.
"I'm blessed because I have that," she told Menounos, adding of harassment in the business, "It happen it does and it's unfortunate."
Ashanti was discovered when she was just a teenager and went on to be signed by Murder Inc. Records in 2001 ? at age 20.
She was the first woman to occupy two simultaneous spots on the Billboard Hot 100.
I believe her
I wouldn't have even taken his records at all.
Good for her, though, for getting a desirable outcome of that terrible situation.
She said this on the breakfast club a few months ago

True.
But she didn't go into details like this though. She never mentioned the producer asked her to take a shower with him.
Gross
But it's someone she uses often obviously
I wonder who
n
I wonder what records they were because either way nothing on her albums was worth the shower or $45k
Why is EVERYONE a creep?
I just don?t get it :dead:

Only producer she uses often now is LT Hutton and I know he didn't try her because he would never crossed that line with her
