Shia Douglas, Ashanti's younger sister, opened up about the violence she suffered at the hands of her ex-fiancé, as October is domestic violence awareness month. She used her story as a warning to other people in toxic or violent relationships, as Shia told them, "please know if they’ve done it once they will do it again.. it is inevitable!"
Shia started out stating, "I thank GOD! My anscestors, angels and guides for pulling me through this Warzone alive! it was Toxic, and it was dangerous not only for obvious reasons but also because to the outside world everything seemed fine.. but those closest to us knew! But didn’t know how to help, It got to a point where the abuse was regular behavior, and I would fight back pick up whatever I could to protect myself."
Shia first posted pictures of her injuries, including a black eye, bruises on her body, and her teeth being knocked out, on her 32nd birthday in 2020. In her latest post, Shia revealed that 8-9 of her teeth were knocked out during her last altercation with her fiancé.
While Shia didn't tag or name her ex in the post, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding hip-hop entertainer Slowbucks. Following Shia's initial post in 2020, 50 Cent reposted an Instagram post accusing Slowbucks of being Shia's abuser. He captioned his post, "yo what’s wrong wit you boy, hitting that girl like that.🤔" Slowbucks has yet to address the allegations.
