According to a spokesperson for the 25-year-old performer, "The contract expired naturally and we didn't renew it."
This isn't Ashanti's first tiff with co-workers. Last year, she was ordered to pay $630,000 to her first producer in a different breach of contract lawsuit.
Producer Genard Parker worked with Ashanti before she inked a record deal, and released her on the condition he could produce two songs on her debut record. The condition was not met.
When that verdict came out, Ashanti's lawyer said they would appeal the ruling.
