Ashanti will sing the Philippine national anthem in Pacquiao’s next fight

But why??? As it turns out, she has some Pinoy blood running in her veins. Reportedly. Her father is of mixed ethnicity while her mom is African-American.

Manny Pacquaio tweeted yesterday, March 4: I am so happy that @Ashanti accepted my invitation to sing The National Anthem at my fight with @TimBradleyJr. On April 12. #PacBradley.

Ashanti, as a lot of you know, is the singer behind hit songs “Foolish,” “What’s Luv,” and “Always on Time.”
