He was in a position of power over her. It’s textbook exploitation. If she didn’t work for him he wouldn’t have had leverage to fukk with her.

Right. The power dynamics here are very clear and it's how women get caught up everyday in this industry. Ashanti just managed to get a career, most don't.

Listening to Irv has me thinking about artists like Ashanti and her peers and their stories. These women are likely keeping a lot of secrets.

On top of being creepy that nikka would 1000% have shelved her if she rightfully wasn't with that shyt.:francis:

Not only would've shelved her, but spread the word that she's "difficult" so no other label or producers want to work with her. It happens every day. That's the power dynamic. Is the choice REALLY a "choice" if the person has the power to destroy your career and blackball you??

Like I said in the last thread on this, Irv is a scumbag weirdo but chicks gotta take the L fukkin with a scumbag weirdo on some "my career" shyt.
I don't think it's L for either person since they made millions & left a legacy together. I mean this is one of those situations that influence other up and coming women artist to take Ls and give it up to some random exec dudes trying to be the next Murder inc. Im suse a lot of other women would do the same thing for the same level of success.

@SunnyD summed it best on page one, no victims here. Well if anything Irv has shown us he's a victim lol.

He didn't prey on Ashanti...she was grown and knew that ass was looking right. She also knew Irv could help her career.

Irv got what he wanted physically fir a while until she was ready to dip on him.

He's telling the world they were in love, Ashanti telling people they were just fukking. Seems like if anyone takes an L he dies.

And the age thing doesn't matter. Many women date older guys or prefer older guys.

Irv is a bozo but I don’t necessarily see anything inherently wrong in that clip.

If a heterosexual man finds a woman attractive then we’ll notice what she’s wearing/her figure.

I don’t know about the whole just grabbing and kissing shyt (don’t do that brehs) - that’s clearly some Hollywood movie shyt - but if that’s how it played out he also goes on to say that she went along with it and it was pretty much “what took you so long?!” type shyt

I hope we’re not infantilizing adult women to the point of finding one attractive is now solely a “creep” thing to do

:hubie:

Ashanti finessed him.

I wonder if he is even aware of that. The funny thing is. The industry and many industries in and life in general is set up like that.

Irv Gotti type dudes in positions of power. One could even say their lameness is the driving force of them working hard to get into that position.

Irv clearly thought he was about to be the black Tommy Mottolla not knowing that some long island chick saw the play you were trying to run and just flipped it on you.

Edit: To take it even further. Mariah Carey finessed Tommy too and she set for life from it. Funny part is she from Long Island as well. Must be a LI thing :heh:
