Ashanti's been parading around NYC all week doing promo for the upcoming season of "Army Wives," and we've got the pics of her diva status look yesterday, complete with her dogs, fur and bodyguards. Check the pics inside, plus a sneak peek of her first scene on the Lifetime show....

Ashanti jetted from press op to press op yesterday in New York with her doggies in tow. And she rocked a fitted floral paneled dress, her shades and a fur. Her bodyguards kept folks at bay...we think.

Damn ya'll are harsh as hell Lol Go 'head, 'Shanti lookin like $money$ Lol I think Ashanti is very pretty and likeable. She seems like a really nice person. I've always liked her, so Im rooting for her to make a really good comeback and make some hits. I wish her and Nelly's sexy self woulda made it work after all of those years. Good Luck, girl! ;)

Someone said that Ashanti is

Someone said that Ashanti is worth $25 million. I find that hard to believe. Her records definitely didn't make her that much money -- and I can't imagine that she did enough concerts to have that much. I think that the show, Army Wives, has scheduled her interviews and paying for her limo and security. If I saw that talentless, baby teeth girl, I would walk by her -- unless I was lucky enough to have some tomatoes and eggs in my bag.

Ummm…Ashanti is worth over 25

Ummm…Ashanti is worth over 25 million regardless of how long ago her last hit was... I would have body guards too. One is prolly her manger or something though…Dope dealers in the hood only worth 100 stacks be having they lil bodyguards and posse so why wouldn’t a (former) international celebrity??? …not feeling that jacket though. LOL

Oh goodness, this is all kinds of staged! Nobody is checking for Ashanti, not even when she did have a song or two out a decade ago, ha! I bet nobody came up to her during this PR stunt.

Who took the pics? Was it papz or did she hire someone to take them? Seems real staged, walking down the block in stilettos walking your dogs. pppppplease. But good luck Ahanti. Next time don't try so hard. Jeans, boots and a cute top, no dogs, 1 bodyguard/assistant. Think it over.

Maybe the bodyguards were for

Maybe the bodyguards were for the dogs LOL. Reminds me of Kenya from RHOA rolling deep with security when noone even knows who she is. Ashanti was a pop sensation but that was 10-11 years ago. OAN she looks great and that FUR is everything! I might watch Army Wives its been in my Netflix Q forever.

While this is over-the-top

While this is over-the-top and an obvious PR stunt, I like it. Ashanti is reminding folks that she's still here, she's not broke and she's not worried about Nelly's short a$$ or his new gal-pal at-all. I'm rooting for her and Ciara to make big comebacks somehow.
