Is Ashanti “Way That I Love You” Art imitating Life?
Singer claims the homicidal character in music video has no connection to her relationship with Nelly
Take a look at this video for “Way That I Love You” by Ashanti. The clip appears to be a dream sequence in which the singer stabs her boyfriend to death after discovering that he has cheated. Does this have any underlying reference to her boyfriend, Nelly?
When asked by People magazine if there was a connection, naturally she said: “It’s not! I wrote that record last summer … The song is just about real life. It’s for every woman who has gone through it.”
Ashanti said she has “definitely” had experience with cheating boyfriends in the past. But she prefers the less violent approach. “It’s a rude awakening when you get used to being happy, but it’s a part of life. I didn’t kill the person!”
The singer has a snooper like her character in the video, who finds incriminating evidence in his Sidekick phone. “Of course I’ve snooped! Before [Sidekicks] came out, I was snooping through regular cell phones, Skytel, everything. Whatever he had out, I was all in it.” she tells People.

Usually an artists song isn’t really about them but something about Ashanti makes her seem like one of those crazy ones.
Always a little truth to everything…every good lie has to have some truth to it or no one will believe it.
