| the critics | Askmen: “Rihanna's sudden and meteoric rise made 'American Idol' hopefuls look like seasoned crooners who had spent a decade on the road before hitting the big time. A native of the island of Barbados, Rihanna lived an average life and barely even dreamed of show business before she was discovered in late 2003." | Allmusic: “She quickly became a sensation, gracing the covers of magazines and dominating urban radio. Ashanti built her reputation with duets, where she would complement an already popular rapper, contrasting the tough-guy male perspective with her own. It didn't take the young vocalist long to make a name for herself." |

Representatives for Ashanti have taken down a website featuring a bloody viral video designed to promote the R&B singer's new album. The video, a fake newscast about brutal murders committed by jealous lovers, was removed after some complained it glamorizes violence.
