After Fat Joe’s performance in Game 3 turned laughable on Monday night, fans responded positively to Ashanti’s rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner before Game 4 of the World Series.
On Tuesday night, the Yankees tried to keep the 2000s nostalgia trip going by inviting another New York native to 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 are now seeing a glimmer of hope after Ashanti’s redemptive performance.
“Yankees can’t be beat in the World Series after bringing out Ashanti for the National Anthem,” one fan wrote.
‘Omg Ashanti what a QUEEN! She looks and sounds amazing,” another added. “Let’s hope this is the sharp turn the Yankees need after Fat Joe set the tone last night.”
“Ashanti is here to save the New York Yankees,” said a third.
“I should have had Ashanti talk about fat Joe last night,” said a fourth. “The Yankees would win 9-3 if she did that.”
A fifth said, “If Ashanti can’t wake the Yankees up for this game, they don’t deserve to win.”
