"I have a past experience with domestic abuse," Shia told Angie. "I hadn't spoken about it. I hadn't communicated or even ever spoken to anyone outside of my family about what happened... It showed a lot of the real things that took place at that time. I had my teeth broken. I was engaged."
Shia claimed that the abuse didn't happen throughout the relationship, adding that the violence only bagan the last two or three years of their relationship. When Martinez asked if it was someone who people knew and Ashanti quickly said, "You know him!"

I'm so proud of you, your strength, your courage, your drive, your passion & your growth," so the "Rain on Me" singer said.

While Shia didn't disclose the identity of her abuser, many believed that it was rapper Slowbucks. Shia first got candid about the abuse in 2020 as she shared pictures of the injuries she had suffered from due to the domestic abuse.
The picture featured her battered face and her teeth being knocked out. Additionally, there was blood coming from her nose as she had a black eye. Shia also included video clips of her reconstruction surgery on her mouth and jaw.
