When I traveled to Los Angeles over the weekend with #NissanDiversity for the 2017 BET Awards, I tooled around the City of Angels in a Nissan Armada, as well as a Nissan Rogue. Aside from what viewers saw on television on the BET Awards, some interesting events that occurred out in Cali included Maxwell coming over to our table at the Sunset Marquis Hotel to say hello, Tamar Braxton’s husband/manager, Vincent Herbert, walking in a circle at the JW Marriott Hotel to show off his massive weight loss, and running into Paula Patton holding hands with a new man as they exited the Microsoft Theatre. In my humble opinion, the highlights of the BET Awards were performances by Bruno Mars, New Edition, El DeBarge, Xscape, Chris Brown and Tamar.

Reports have surfaced that Bey and Jay took their twin babies home to a $54 million mansion in Malibu, California, where they will be staying until the end of August……….

With this latest legal happening, one of Cosby’s attorneys and the disgraced TV icon himself now says it is highly unlikely the town hall tour that Cosby’s PR team announced last week would go forward before any potential criminal case re-trial………..

After collaborating with Drake and contributing on his Grammy nominated project, he is releasing his newest masterpiece LP, “Falco.” The first featured song from the project is ‘Gambled’ featuring Pusha T.
