Singer Ashanti was spotted at CAIN Nightclub in New York just before New Years at a party thrown by “Presidential Dymes”. The group, co-founded by her little sister, is for young black socialites living in New York.

I’m told Ashanti just shot her album artwork over in Paris with fame photographer Alix Malka and she’s going for a whole new look. Her new album will be pushed through her own company Written Entertainment which means she may opt to release her future projects independently.
