Fans of R&B singers Ashanti and Keyshia Cole were happy their favorites were going toe-to-toe on the Verzuz stage. Unfortunately for them, things didn’t go as planned when Ashanti tested positive for COVID-19, effectively postponing the showdown until January 9. Although fans were upset with the rescheduling, some were still concerned about the “Foolish” singer’s condition.
At the time of her positive test, Ashanti put up a series of Instagram posts explaining the situation and explained how messed up things got for the Verzuz battle. She said she wasn’t in any pain and tried to pivot by saying she could do the battle from home, but Swizz Beatz and Timbaland weren’t having it.
On Thursday (December 24), Ashanti gave fans a positive update right in time for Christmas with a selfie of her smiling from ear to ear.
“Hey all just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers,” Ashanti wrote in the caption. “I’ve gotten so many calls, texts, emails and DM‘s checking in on me and my family and I’m super grateful for that. I’m feeling much better…”
She continued, “Thanking God that my mom is out of the hospital and my dad is doing well. Needless to say this will be a very different Christmas.. but still filled with gratitude and love. Thanks Bink for dropping off the herbal tea’s. Merry Christmas Eve.”
It was reported Ashanti traveled to Kenya on vacation, leading many to believe she contracted the virus this way, but the singer told fans that wasn’t the case. She revealed she actually got it from a family member who didn’t know they had COVID-19.

With the battle of the R&B stars coming next month on Verzuz, it looks like Ashanti will be primed and ready to take on Keyshia come January 9.
Ashanti is so fine!
Bitch got it in Kenya. Stop lying.
You must not be familiar with international travel. You test prior to arriving then you test again at the airport upon arrival. Then you must again 72 hours prior to departure from the country
What’s up bro? I just wanted to make a statement on your profile.lm new to this so feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks.
Question is that if she said you could hit while she got it, would you take the chance and dip in?
She got it from hanging around dirty old man Irv Gotti and Ugly ass Ja Rule. She’s so fine though
Glad Ashanti is doing okay after Covid, but do us all a favor and stay off of the TV show 1000,000 Pyramid. I felt like jumping through my TV to wrap my hands around your stupid throat Ashanti!! You have to be one of the stupidest players that I have ever seen on that show! Alarm clock Ashanti!!… What does it do stupid??? I can’t believe you couldn’t get that right!!!. The woman you played with who lost because of you wanted to punch you too!!. Stay off of shows where you have to be smart, because you definitely are far from being smart, and you proved it to the world on Pyramid. STAY off of that show dumb ass Ashanti!!
