After Fat Joe’s Game 3 performance became a laughing stock on Monday night, fans had a positive reaction to Ashanti’s rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner before Game 4 of the World Series.
On Tuesday night, the Yankees looked to continue the 2000s nostalgia trip, inviting another New York native to perform at their second World Series game in the Bronx since 2009.
While many users blamed the Yankees’ Game 3 loss on Fat Joe’s embarrassing number on Monday night, some now see a glimmer of hope after Ashanti’s redeeming performance.
“The Yankees can’t get swept in the World Series after bringing out Ashanti to sing the anthem,” one fan wrote.
‘My God Ashanti, what a QUEEN! Looks and sounds amazing,” added another. “Hopefully this is the sharp turnaround the Yankees need after Fat Joe set the tone last night.”
“Ashanti is here to save the New York Yankees,” chimed in a third.
“Should have had Ashanti on fat Joe last night,” said a fourth. “The Yankees would win 9-3 if he did.”
A fifth commented: “If Ashanti can’t wake up the Yankees for this game then they don’t deserve to win.”
