Video: Ashanti’s dancer loses her ponytail

Sandra Rose June 13, 2008

I know a lot of you ladies out there can relate to this: While Ashanti was doing her lip synch thing on MTV’s TRL yesterday, her background dancer had a yaki crisis going on. It seems that she did one too many head whips and lost her ponytail. The poor dancer was forced to finish her routine while gripping her hair piece with one hand.

VAALLDAY

I Can’t see the video

It didnt look like she lost her ponytail to me, it might have became loose so she kept her hand on it, but I did fast forward through the video cause I hate that song. And no sandra I cant relate cause I dont wear weaves, and I’ll leave it at that lol
Anna

I can’t see the video either, but the headline made me smile.

I Can’t tell if she lost her ponytail, but it seemed like it by the way she kept holding it, looks like to me the dude yanked at it and then she started holding it.

I remember in 6th grade I was double dutching and my damn ponytail (yaki) started getting loose with every damn 1 pop up 2 pop ups….. I had to hold that mofo until I finished jumping (cause them bishes wasn’t goin beat me)

So I feel her pain, she betta had, she knew it was better to hold it and finish then let it fall not finish and have no damn job.

She should have just played it off, snatched it off and started hitting him with it! (You always need a back-up plan with a clip on!)

Nope never had that problem. In school, I had a fight and the chick tried to grab it off… Joke was on her cuz while she was yankin & grabbin, I was punchin & jabbin (rhyme courtesy of Starbucks LOL :D)

PS
I wanna know 2 things: 1. Why cant she walk down a step without makin that goofy ass fist & 2. what the hell is always so funny?

Ashanti is annoying as hell anytime she don’t know what to say or doensn’t have anything intelligent to say she laughs or say “Crazy” UGHHHH so annoying no wonder her album didn’t sale sh$t!

First, Ashanti’s STANCE/POSTURE annoy the HELL out of me! Second her WALK annoys me even more than her stance! That little tippy toe shit…oh god! Third, LOLOLOLOL @ her dancer!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one who is scared to see the outcome. I have it paused at the 2:36 mark. I don’t want to be embarrassed for her.

I don’t wear weaves now, but LOL I can relate.

I went swimming with one in. SMH I call myself doing a lap across the pool and kept feeling something on my back. I’m thinking these negroes got some kind of plastic garbage in this pool. Got to the end of my lap and it was my damn ponytail, hanging down to my ass. Track and hairpins and all. I ain’t been right since. LOL
katgirl33

Funny….she did lost the ponytail…right before she sat on the guy’s lap….he was trying to help her w/it…but it was no use….she looked funny as hell holding her head and trying to dance at the same time….LOL

I don’t think Ashanti was lip synching either; it probably was the audience singing along with her…..

I was thinkin the same thing??!! Her laugh annoys the hell out of me. She is sooooo predictable!

Why are y’all so cruel talking about Ashanti and especially you Miss Sandra? She is a beautiful black sista. And she has a cute voice and she was not Lip syncing.
Some of you people here give the white folks just what they like to hear….us talking about each other.
And too, she looks and sounds wayyyyy better than RIHANNA Miss Sandra!!!!!!!

I like ashanti, she seems real down to earth. I think she tends to say the same words because she doesn’t “plan” out all of her answers to the questions she is asked. But that’s just my guess.

It was kind of funny the background girl went from shaking fists in his face and whipping him with her ponytail to him holding her head and her having to sit down to try and keep her tail on!

I second what hune said, she should have picked it up and start slapping him with it.
Hotstuff

She was not lipsynching and she sounded good…
Poor thang in the back tried to play it off real good even had dude helping her out trying to push the pins back in and ish
MAJAHINEVERYWAY

I am not the biggest Ashanti fan, but it seems she has upped her singing game. Good job girl. No Sandra, I do relax my hair and it isn’t super long, but I haven’t worn any Yaki anything just yet.
