The former First Lady of Murder Inc. was approaching extinction a few years ago. When Irv Gotti gave her the boot in 2009, it seemed as though Ashanti’s career was a done deal. Rumors of her elusive “fifth” album would randomly circulate, as would the occasional single. Her new indie label, Written Entertainment would house it, but that release date sounded like it would never come. Then Busta Rhymes showed up last year on Ashanti’s single, 'The Woman You Love,' and she finally put a title to her new LP: 'Braveheart.' Busta -- another lucky one -- just inked a deal with Young Money. Now, we learn Ashanti might be doing so as well. Does Christina Milian know about this?
