Ashanti has been in small films like Malcolm X. In 2000 Ashanti moved to Atlanta to make another record deal instead of going to college. That turned into a disaster. She went back home empty-handed. Then all of a sudden Ashanti came out with "Foolish". She said "The words make me think you must have been looking in my window when I had the argument with him. It means so much to me because my music is me." | |
| " The first time I heard 'Foolish' on the radio, I started screaming. It was crazy. It was so amazing." The starting of Ashanti's career was with this song. Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. helped Ashanti. He taught her how to write songs. |
