Remember when The-Dream took Nivea from Lil Wayne? Then Lil Wayne took her back and made "Lollipop" and told him that shawty want a thug. Then Wayne got her pregnant and bounced with Christina Milian. Then The-Dream took Christina Milian? Then The-Dream came with "I Luv Your Girl".. that was a time to be alive

Tina Turner was 60 YEARS OLD here. There was no harness and no safety rails. Running down a razor-thin catwalk suspended high above her audience in Wembley Stadium in heels, she belted out “Nutbush City Limits” live.

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.

I've seen Lauryn Hill perform "Ex-Factor" many times but something about this one she just did in Rio De Janeiro hit different

One of the greatest songs ever

This is Miss Mary, a 93 old woman who works AMC theaters cleaning trash people leave behind. My heart hurt watching this. This is not the way it should be. 🥹💔

It's funny how they claim to have built the pyramids when the Sun says otherwise

Fun fact: Mariah Carey’s label and ex husband didn’t want her to release this remix because it was too ‘black’ and would tarnish her reputation. She released it anyway

How am I going to explain to my kids that Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video was made in 1991 and not with the use of AI?
