There was a time in the 2000s when Ashanti was considered the princess of R&B and hip-hop. She came to prominence when she signed onto Irv and Chris Gotti's Murder Inc label and made an immediate impact when she was featured on Fat Joe's "What's Luv" and Ja Rule's "Always on Time," both of which became two of the biggest hits of 2002.
