We love a full circle moment 🥹

Lauryn Hill sang about the industry pressure she faced during her first pregnancy in her 1998 song, 'To Zion'.

28 years later, her son, Zion Marley, surprised her on stage with his single 'Marching', inspired by the song she dedicated to him. 🤎

31 years ago today, D'Angelo released his debut album ‘Brown Sugar.’

[Ms. Lauryn Hill @MsLaurynHill]

It can take a lot to get me to come outside these days… but Jesse Collins may be one of the few who can.

I had a wonderful experience working with him and his team on the Grammy tribute to our legends, Roberta Flack and D’Angelo. When he asked me to do this, I had to say yes.

Before I say anything else, forgive me for being late with this post. I’m in Morocco today after a performance in the Canary Islands last night and have been fully occupied, but I could not let more time pass without expressing my gratitude.

To Jesse Collins, BET, and the entire team, thank you for creating a space for artistry, legacy, love, and celebration.

And now…

To the Kings and Queens who celebrated and serenaded me at yesterday’s tribute:

Wyclef Jean
The War and Treaty — Tanya Blount Trotter & Michael Trotter Jr.
Doechii
SZA
Tems
Tierra Whack
Selah
Doja Cat
Nas
YG Marley
Lizzo
Rapsody
Zion Marley
Alexia Jayy
Queen Latifah
Common

Adam Blackstone & Band
Eric Gales
The MLH Band

I am deeply honored.

THANK YOU.

Each of you is remarkable. You represent far more than yourselves. You carry the hopes of families, the strength of communities, and the stories of generations. Your gifts are rooted in legacy, and your presence was deeply felt.

Thank you for acknowledging me.
Thank you for celebrating me.

The love I felt in that room is something I will carry with me for a very long time.

My desire is that each of you experiences that same love returned to you abundantly by all the people, families, and communities that you pour into, and that you feel as celebrated, as appreciated, and as cherished as you made me feel.

To God be the glory. Always.

Happy 40th Birthday to Solange Knowles ✨🎂

Born on this day in 1986, Solange has always stood out with her soulful voice and deeply personal artistry.

In 2016, her album “A Seat at the Table” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — making her and Beyoncé the first sisters to achieve that as solo artists.

What’s your favorite Solange album or song?
