The Foolish singer, who is set to tour the UK this summer in celebration of her 20th anniversary, played a part in the recording of I’m Real and Ain’t It Funny (Murder Remix), two songs which featured Ashanti’s Murder Inc lablemate Ja Rule.

However, the R&B star’s involvement was shrouded in mystery for several years with rumours even suggesting there was a feud between the two singers.
