Many of us who grew up during the height of her success may consider Ashanti a modern day R&B legend, however it appears some college kids don’t exactly recognize that fact.
The former Murder Inc songstress was scheduled to perform at Stony Brook University for their “Back to the Brook” concert, but the show was cancelled due to “low ticket sales.” The University released a statement, saying,
“As an organization, we do our best to host programs for students while providing diversity and inclusion. However, we have struggled to execute certain aspects. With only a week before the concert, only 24 tickets were sold to students.”
The school added that they were already on a hard deadline since Teyana Taylor pulled out on the event two weeks prior, which left them no time to properly market and promote Ashanti as the new headliner — so technically, it’s no ones fault.
Ashanti may not be selling out college campuses, but I personally wouldn’t ever hestiate to check her out in concert. What do you guys think?
