QuoteI worked for over a year on that book. Took two years to find an agent and get it published and for some celebrity who probably didn't even write it to just steal my idea. I am shaking.

The tweets are not available but I found screenshots: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ashanti-under-fire-after-author-accuses-her-of-stealing-childrens-book-storyline-devastated-news.149934.html

The original cover looks so beautiful and the concept for a children's book is amazing. There are similarities: the title, concept, cover. What a shame. Maybe Ashanti had a ghostwriter who copied and pasted this, I don't know what to say. The author should definitely research legal options.

You can tell from the tweets the original author is very heartbroken about what happened. It's just sad that she doubts whether she wants to stay in the industry. I just googled a couple of pages from her book and it looks magical. I really hope this will give her more attention.

Why didn't she just publish a book based on that Dreams song? :disgusted: She already had a concept and could have promoted her music at the same time.
