Ja Rule, Rapper:

"I've known Ashanti over 20 years, and I'll. I just I remember when I first met her, she didn't look like this, she had a hoodie on and she had a pad and she was just in that studio dedicated to this art and this craft we call music. And it's such a tough, you know, thing to navigate and become what you become in this industry. And I just want to say, I'm proud of you. I love you."
