It seems Ashanti has pulled an Iggy Azaela and has opted for emphasizing thirst traps over her music career.

Or perhaps the public has made that choice for her because they just can't get enough of the revealing Instagram shots she posts periodically

In her latest set, the 40-year-old celebrates that very birthday by stunting her signature thickness in the islands.

Happy birthday Ashanti.

How many more years do you think she can keep thirst trapping on such a high level?  Halle Berry is still going at 54.
