Ashanti the platinum selling artist has a mentor like no other. This mentor is her mom. Ashanti's mom has turned out to be a jack of all trades. In a recent article in Sister 2 Sister magazine, Ashanti's mom stated , “she shot pool to eat while in college”. Everyone knows that pool halls can be a ruff place and , this may explain Ashanti's mom fighting survival skills. The skills must have transcended to her daughter because Ashanti is still in the music game.
Although Ashanti's mom met her husband in the pool hall, this did not prevent Tina from working many jobs to support her family while her husband made many attempts to get his singing career started. Shooting all that pool gave Tina effective money collection skills. If you place a bet, you pay your bet or, face the slap stick upside your head. Developing effective money collection is the reason Ashanti has no royalties or money problems.
Although Tina won so many pool hall games against her current husband, Tina may been hustled on all those games because he got in those tight jeans and married her. One has to ask who hustled whom.
