And then when that person finally realizes that it\u2019s not that, it turns them into a completely different person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIrv has flat-out lied about a lot of things. And the crazy thing is, when we were in a good space, a positive space \u2014 pillow talk is a dangerous thing, and there are so many things that I know. I don\u2019t have the desire to expose certain things. I\u2019m happy, I\u2019m in a different space \u2026 I don\u2019t play in the mud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0<em>weird<\/em>. It\u2019s very weird when you know you\u2019re lying and you just keep lying. That\u2019s where it becomes a little scary and a little mental because it\u2019s like, \u2018Dawg, we can see [the lies].\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although she didn\u2019t flat-out deny that there was no romance between them, Ashanti believes that Irv Gotti \u201cmanipulated\u201d her at a time when she was young and na\u00efve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely feel like manipulation played a heavy part into me and Irv\u2019s situation,\u201d she reflected. \u201cHe would say stuff like, \u2018No one wants to record with you, nobody fucks with you like that.\u2019 On one hand, he would make it feel like family-family-family, and on the other hand, he would tell me, \u2018Nobody even likes you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hard because that gullible little Suzie [was like], \u2018Why? How come? I don\u2019t even know them, why they don\u2019t like me?\u2019 Growing and becoming a woman and more mature, then you start to reflect on certain things and it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s what was going on!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
