“It’s so important to me to get the message out that artists should own their intellectual property,” Ashanti said in an official statement found on AfroTech.com. “By empowering myself through new technology, I’m trying to help other women avoid going through the things that I’ve been through. The future belongs to those who take control and make it their own.”

Ashanti is gearing up to appear at the Lovers & Friends Festival in Vegas before embarking on a short UK trek in May.
