The discussion was about toxic work environments, which led the Foolish singer to reveal a straight-up #MeToo moment: WHAT??

Last time we checked, that’s not what “homies” do… She continued: $40,000 per record? He was extorting her for sex to the tune of $80k?!

She recalled: She added: Wild to say the LEAST. While she didn’t specifically name the producer, noting she will go more in depth in her forthcoming documentary, his audacity speaks volumes about the all-too-common abuse of power not just in Hollywood — but frankly, sadly, in every industry where men can get any power over women.

Ashanti’s mother, Tina Douglas, was also present during the interview. Charlamagne asked her:  She quickly responded, “Yes!” before Ashanti jokingly chimed in: She noted her mother will indeed be featured in the upcoming doc.
