We are privileged to be able to honor them with the naming of the new tennis arena and thrilled that they will be in attendance on November 7 for the unveiling and entire gala.  The facility is going to be gorgeous, but it is just a building if we don't do something great inside of it," continued Barry. "I can't wait to see kids of all ages pick up rackets and play on these new courts. That will be worth every brick and every penny."

Omarion has spoken out about those rumors that he and Apryl broke up....because baby Megaa isn't his.  Find out what he had to say inside....

Oh, those silly rumors. While rumors hit the net this week that Omarion and fiance Apryl Jones, stars of "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood", split...the rumor grew into something even bigger.  Online reports said that Omaron's mother questioned the paternity of the baby....because she believes the baby looks nothing like O.  One she accused Apryl of cheating with her ex, who is of Mexican descent, rumor had it that Omarion asked for a DNA test....and Apryl refused.

Sounds like a good episode of Maury.  And according to O, that's all that it...a fictional Maury episode.

He posted the below today in response to shoot down the rumors:

EXCLUSIVE: "Blood, Sweat & Heels" Stars Melyssa Ford & Geneva Thomas Allegedly BRAWL, Geneva ARRESTED!

When Bravo's cameras are rolling, expect some bottle action or wiggery yanking to go down at some point.  TheYBF.com has learned that "Blood, Sweat & Heels" stars Melyssa Ford and Geneva Thomas got into a major altercation last night, and Geneva has been arrested.

 

Exclusive details inside...

TheYBF.com has exclusively learned that Geneva Thomas of "Blood, Sweat & Heels" was arrested in Manhattan last night.  It all stemmed from a fight with fellow cast member Melyssa Ford, and it was ALL caught on camera.

Here's what we know:

The cast of Bravo's "Blood, Sweat & Heels" is currently filming the second season.  Last night, while cameras rolled at a boat party at Pier 40 near Hudson River Park, an altercation popped off between Melyssa and Geneva.

Our source tells us that Geneva allegedly attacked Melyssa with a vodka bottle.  The brawl resulted in Melyssa having to get stitches, so we're told, and Geneva getting arrested.  We've verified that Geneva was booked at 9:42pm Tuesday evening and was taken to the 6th Precinct of Manhattan.  She has allegedly been charged with two felony assaults.

Geneva will face the judge at Manhattan Criminal Court at 2p today.

Geneva was also arrested last month for allegedly not paying a cab driver.  She claimed the driver charged her an unjust and unfair amount.

Interestingly enough, on the first season of the show, Geneva and then co-star Demetria Lucas were at odds with the trio of Melyssa, Daisy Luellyn and Micah Hughes.  But just last week at Geneva's birthday party at The Park 112 in Harlem (directly above), Micah (far right) & Daisy (far left) were there along with new cast member Chantelle Fraser (red devil costume) .  But no Melyssa in sight.

We reached out to Geneva and her publicist for comment and are waiting to hear back.

T.I. climbed in the director's chair (alongside PhillyFlyBoy) for his latest song, "King", which appears on his Paperwork disc (in stores now).  The video carries a cinematic feel, allowing T.I. to show off his acting chops as he shoots up a seedy bar during a business deal gone awry. The KING means business!

In other news, T.I. made headlines after he brokered a peace-treaty between Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea recently.  That's cool....we'd just like see more rappers take a stand on behalf of women of color as well.  That's what KINGS do.  

 

In other new music...

Danity Kane are dropping their third album DK3 on October 28th, and in support of the release, they've release "All In A Day's Work." The track is produced by Dem Jointz, and Aubrey describes it this way, "It’s about bitches that make it look easy.” Ok...nuff said!

Tamar has been on an NYC promo tour for the new season of "Tamar & VIce" which starts tomorrow, October 23rd, 9c on WeTv.  During one interview, Tamar's hubby Vince revealed that she doesn't response well to criticism.  "I don't think she personally deals with it that well. Tamar can get upset if you're not feeling what she's feeling. When you're working with artists you don't tell them all the negative stuff the record company (or others) might say."

Well...Tamar may not like criticism...but she loves to throw shade.  She threw a little towards "RHOA" star Kenya Moore earlier this week, calling her "thirsty."

According to our source, Geneva and Melyssa got into it and Geneva came after Melyssa. Next thing you know, bottles were thrown, hair was pulled and the two had to be separated by security.

T.I. Talks "Paperwork" On The Breakfast Club, Says He Will NEVER Apologize To Azealia Banks, & Details The REAL Phone Call With Snoop

 photo tipaper.png

T.I. has a brand new album, Paperwork, that dropped on Tuesday. And he’s making his media rounds to promote his new project. Find out what he said about no longer making “trap tracks,” squashing Snoop Dogg& Iggy Azalea’s beef and why he won’t apologize to Azealia Banks when you go inside…

T.I. is heavy on the promo trail after the release of his ninth studio album Paperwork. This is Tip’s first album under Columbia Records since his contract with Atlantic Records expired.

Steering away from his usual “trap tracks”, Tip said this album is more about evolution, carefully choosing from over 200 songs he had previously recorded. Paperwork is the first of a trilogy of albums and he revealed his next album will be titled The Return. He plans to drop 5-6 mini-films with each album to create 3 short stories for a Quentin Tarantino-vibe.

TIP hit up Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” to explain the details surrounding the phone call he had with Snoop Dogg to squash his “beef” with his artist Iggy Azalea, why he’s never going to apologize to Azealia Banks (after their war of words on social media), he dished on the death of his artist Doe B, why he will not be making any cameos on Tiny & Shekinah’s new reality show and more.

Below are the highlights:

On trying to get his artist Iggy Azalea not to react to every single comment:
“I try. She’s passionate about everything she does. I think that’s apart of what makes people love her. She cares and when a artist doesn’t care then it shows that they don’t care. She’s a woman and ultimately all women are like that at least once a month [laughs] But, that’s lil sis man…her future is definitely brighter than her past so they will have more to hate about.”

On what went down with Iggy and Snoop Dogg:
“Yea I mean…but that’s the homie man. One thing I know that maybe she didn’t is that Snoop didn’t mean no harm. I just wish I was able to speak to him before she replied.”

On the phone call he made to Snoop after Iggy beef:
“Nope, I didn’t [have to ask him to apologize]. I didn’t boss up on nobody…not Snoop! I respect him, admire him, salute him. I don’t have nothing but love. We got history, personally and professionally. I was just like ‘aye…big homie. What up man? I’m in the corss-fire right now.’ Immediately, big dog [Snoop] was like ‘Hey I know what you calling for, I know what its about. Based on our relationship alone, its over with. It’s dead. I’m sorry and it wont happen again.’ He did the post himself. I didn’t say ‘Hey you need to do this’”.

On apologizing to Azealia Banks:
“On some real sh*t…that other person you just named is insignificant in every speaking of the word. It wasn’t about what they [Azealia] said in reference to Iggy it was what they said in reference to my old lady. You can say what you want about me but don’t talk about my kids, don’t talk about my mama or my old lady. Don’t talk about none of my family partner. If your comment ain’t worth you dying or killing somebody then just leave it alone cause I’m down to go all the way, I’m going 1000 bout it.”

On Gucci Mane:
[Charlamgne compared his behavior to Gucci Mane] “He retarded! I am intellectually ignorant. I know my affliction, I just hope everyone else recognize. Dude [Gucci] can’t help himself”

Ha! Check it below: 

  

In between doing interviews and media appearnaces, the 'Kang' partied it up with his wife Tiny and Braveheart singer Ashanti at The Griffin in NYC on Monday night:

DO WE BELIEVE IT? Is Stevie Wonder STILL Married.....Although He's ALLEGEDLY Expecting Triplets And ENGAGED To A New Woman?

 photo StevieWonderCallingFestivalDay2yupLgsL5v7pl.jpg

There are good reason Stevie Wonder isn't proudly announcing the expected arrival of triplets with Tameeka Robyn Bracy....sources say he's STILL married to estranged wife Kai Milla! But do WE believe it?

 

A few days ago, we shared with you the unconfirmed "good" news that music icon Stevie Wonder was engaged and expecting triplets with his alleged fiancee Tameeka Robyn Bracy.  But we couldn't figure out why Tameeka wasn't waving her "Ribbon In The Sky" for all to see.  

Then we brought you a picture of a woman (identified as Tameeka) with a young child in a stroller - who had ALSO been identified as Stevie Wonder's child.  Say what now? 

How did a baby and a fiancee slip under the radar in this day an age?  We might have an answer.  Team WONDER is working hard to protect the singer's image...which MIGHT be slightly messy.  The word on the street is that Stevie is STILL legally married to his estranged wife, designer Kai Milla.

Recently, we reached out to Kai's publicist, and although Kai declined comment to TheYBF.com, a source close to Kai (identified as a family friend) revealed that Stevie and Kai are still married.  Mind you, we were made aware of the "marriage" through a source provided by Kai's publicist.  Yes...it's messy.  But we'll take it. 

Kai may not speak up for herself....but her unidentified family friends are talking!  It's their business, but you have to give Tameeka the Iyanla Vanzant"side-eye" for getting engaged to a married man AND getting pregnant by him multiple times...allegedly.  #fixyourlife

GUY TROUBLES: Tyga Claims He Doesn’t Get Along With Nicki Minaj + Nicki & Safaree Samuels Now SEEMINGLY Separated...And He COVERED His Nicki Tattoos!

Nicki Minaj may be having some issues with the guys in her camp. Tyga revealed he and the Head Barb do NOT get along. And it seems she and her beau Safaree “SB” Samuels may have called it quits.  Deets inside….

Seems Nicki Minaj isn’t playing nice with some of the men in her life. Her labelmate Tyga simply made it clear…he does not get along with her…or Drake!

On the heels of expressing his disdain for his Young Money record label, the West Coast rapper is now revealing that he does not get along with his label mates...particularly Nicki Minaj and Drake. During in interview with VIBE, Tyga name dropped two people from his camp he doesn't "mesh" well with saying,“I don’t really get along with Drake. I don’t really get along with Nicki.”

He said he felt like his relationships with the other YMCMB artists were forced because they all just so happened to be signed under the same label. He dished,

I don’t like Drake as a person. He’s just fake to me. I like his music; you know what I’m saying? I think his music is good, but we’re all different people. We were forced together and it was kinda’ like we were forcing relationships together. It is what it is. But I been friends with Chris [Brown] for like six years. That’s my real genuine friend. We hang out all the time. He lives up the street from me, so we don’t just do music we hang. I think being signed to Young Money, everybody felt like they had to force a relationship ‘cause Wayne put us together. At the end of the day the reason why I signed to Young Money is because of Wayne. Not because of Drake, not because of Nicki. It was because of Wayne and my relationship with him. I try to be cool with everybody, but sometimes, everybody just has different personalities, motives, and different characters. When you realize that, you realize that’s not a place where you want to continue to grow.

Tyga also shot down rumors of him dating Kylie Jenner, after he has been spotted with the 17-year-old on many occasions. He said:

Kylie? Nah. See the thing about Kylie… I’ve known Kylie and the whole family for four years. I introduced Chyna to Kim about a year ago. So everybody’s been cool, but like it’s just so hard, their world is different. If somebody wanna hang out, cool, I’m not opposed to hanging out with somebody. I hang out with her [Kylie], her sister [Kendall], I hang out with Scott [Disick] sometimes, I hang out with Khloe sometimes. But people wanna take the situation [with Kylie] to the next level.

 

Mmhmm...He also spoke about his breakup with the mother of his 2-year-old son Blac Chyna:

“We decided to take a break apart ’cause you don’t wanna raise an emotionally unstable child, and that’s what it comes down to,” he said. “It wasn’t my happiness, and it wasn’t her happiness. It was for the sake of King.”

Well alright.

In other Nicki news….

Looks like there’s another issue with one of the guys in Nicki’s camp. She and her rumored boo Safaree “SB” Samuels (who we spotted rocking matching rings on their ring fingers on vacay earlier this year) may have officially called it quits.

How so you ask? Well…Safaree was spotted shirtless a few days ago and it appears he has covered two-out-of-the three Nicki Minaj tattoos he received over the years. You’ll recall, he had her face tatted on one side of his chest and her name surrounded in stars on the other side. He proudly showed off his chest ink on IG a while back (below):

 photo sbtat.jpg

But NOW... if you look closely at the new pics….the Nicki tats on his chest have been covered up! Check it:

SB was spotted on what appeared to be a music video in Lancaster, Cali recently.

He definitely covered up the chest tats, but it looks like that 6-hour face tat of Nicki on his right arm is still there...but for how long?

If you were still in doubt whether or not Beyonce and Jay Z were headed down Splitsville Lane, this news should surely help silence the rumors. Bey & Jay reportedly renewed their marriage vows. Get the deets inside…. 

Looks like Beyonce and Jay Z have been shot by Cupid’s love arrow while living it up in Paris and London.

Since rumors started circulating about Mr. & Mrs. Carter possibly splitting (which ELEVATORGATE sparked), the power couple has kept a united family front, posting up countless pictures of their family adventures and being spotted together…a lot by the photogs. And it seems all the extra quality time they’ve been spending together has caused them to get even closer.

PEOPLE is reporting Hip Hop’s royal couple have renewed their wedding vows. A source tells the publication, "They did have major problems, but they worked it out and they've renewed their vows."

Oh…well congrats to them!

Since touching down overseas after they wrapped up their joint “On The Run” tour, the love birds have been spotted house-hunting for a new love nest in Paris and getting real lovey dovey while visiting the Louvre museum with little Blue Ivy.

Seems that European getaway (which kicked off for Bey's birthday) did their relationship some good. Congrats again!

We spotted several of our favorite YBF moms out and about in the LA area.  See their candids inside...

"Lay It On Me" singer Kelly Rowland dined out at Cecconi last night where photographers spotted her leaving with a bag of leftovers.  Perhaps she's bringing home dinner for hubby Tim? 

 photo akapreg13.jpg

Kelly is free to eat as much as she wants now that her maternity shoot for ELLE has been completed.  The gorgeous pics were shot by actor Lance Gross.

Can you guess who Kelly dined with?

As they pulled away, we spotted Ciara in the driver's seat.  We're sure Ciara had some great post-pregnancy workout tips for Kelly. 

 

Another mom on the go.....

Alicia Keys was spotted at LAX for an outbound flight and she didn't pull any punches with her airport outfit! 

 photo akapreg4.jpg

Alicia, who's expecting her second child, wore sequins!  She completed her look with a hoodie, leather jacket, sneakers and her hair in cornrows. 

 photo akpreg1.jpg

We suspect Alicia is heading to New York City where her Keep A Child Alive's Black Ball is set to take place on October 30th with Nas, Sean Puffy Combs and Swizz Beatz.

 

Over at The Grove...

 photo akapreg5.jpg

Zoe Saldana, who's expecting twins, was spotting shopping and making a very serious phone call.

 photo akakpreg9.jpg

Spies on the scene say Zoe was actually yelling into the phone as if she were in an argument.

 photo akapreg7.jpg 

Perhaps Zoe was arguing about an upcoming project?  She runs her own production company (Saldana Productions) with her sister Cisely and were sure she and hubby Marco are keeping track of their coins.  They'll soon have two mouths to feed.

NOT A LAUGHING MATTER: Las Vegas Clubgoer CLAIMS Blake Griffin PIMP Slapped Him And Grabbed Him By The Neck!

Blake Griffin is accused of attacking a Las Vegas clubgoer and snatching away his cell phone. Get deets on the alleged attack inside...

 

What happens in Vegas...MIGHT NOT stay there. Although L.A. Clippers star Blake Griffin (shown atop during a standup comedy set) has managed to keep a relatively clean image, a recent incident in Las Vegas threatens to derail that.

According to TMZ Sports, a 39-year-old clubgoer claims he partied at Tao nightclub in the Venetian late Saturday/early Sunday where he was allegedly attacked by Blake.  The man (identified as Daniel) says he took a cell phone picture of the crowd and that seemed to upset Blake, who then demanded the phone. After Daniel refused, he says Blake "grabbed my phone with one hand." When Daniel didn't let it go, Blake allegedly grabbed his neck.  But it didn't end there.....

The two were eventually separated but Blake went in for the guy's neck a second time!  Once security intervened, Daniel says Blake told them, "Get him the f**k out of this club." And then he "slapped me in the right side of my face."

After the "incident" Daniel filed a battery report with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. So far, there's been no comment from the LA Clippers or Blake. 

In other Blake G. news, the Jordan Super Fly 3 sneaker that the GQ cover man helped design hit shoe shelves on Oct. 1. They retail for $140 if you're interested.

Another family living it up....

Nothing like spending quality time with the ones you love.

In between pre-season games and filming on set, Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade cuddled up with his wife “Being Mary Jane” star Gabrielle Union for a cutesy date night. With both of their grueling schedules, it’s hard for the newlyweds to get in some alone time, but last night they made it work. They snuggled up to watch the new movie Gone Girl, starring Tyler Perry.

D. Wade captioned the moment, “And i ended the night on a date with this beauty.. we haven't found time to go to the movies in a long time but tonite we took the time for each other. Oh and we seen Gone Girl!!! I will be sleeping w one eye open... @gabunion”

Ha!
 

And for a dose of cuteness...

Keyshia Cole and her son Daniel Gibson Jr. got in some mommy-son time yesterday. The cutie snapped an “us-sie” of him and his mom before heading to the beach. It looks like little Daniel is ready to star in a kid’s GAP commercial. He is adorable.

Then the two hit the beach for some fun in the sun.

Keyshia has been busy dropping visuals from her brand new album Point of No Return. She recently released the video for “Remember (Part 2)” which included a cameo from her handsome son. Cute.

Iggy Azalea and Nick Young star in Forever 21’s holiday ad campaign, Alicia Keys is gracing the cover of Haute Living magazine’s Oct/Nov 2014 issue and Lance Gross turned his lens on Tank’s pregnant girlfriend Zena Foster. See the hot shots inside…

The holidays are right around the corner, so that means it’s time for some festive editorials to get us in the spirit.

Australian raptress Iggy Azalea got “fancy” with her boyfriend/LA Lakers baller Nick “Swaggy P” Young for Forever 21’s holiday ad campaign.

The “House of Style” host posed it up for her first national campaign in a fun shoot with her beau. During the shoot, the couple dished to PEOPLE about Forever 21’s digs where Nick said, “It made me want to wear hats more.”

 photo igni3.jpg

The pair copped a few favorites from their on-set wardrobe which included a few shirts (that they were able to take home) and leather jackets for family and friends. Nice.

On a magazine cover....

Alicia Keys got red hot for the cover of Haute Living magazine’s Oct/Nov 2014 New York issue. The “We Are Here” singer served up some sultriness in a cut-out red gown flaunting her curves. And we're loving it.

The pregnant philanthropist (who’s expecting her new bundle of joy in December) talked about finding a balance in her life and how it has helped her maneuver through her hectic life. She said,

“Five years ago, the word ‘tired’ would probably have been up in there,” she tells Haute Living with a laugh. “I don’t feel tired now because I have a better concept of balance. It comes through experience—understanding what non-balance is and then making the choice to actually implement some balance. Sometimes, I find myself on the whole other side of the spectrum of crazy, and then I think, this is too much, and I definitely need to find my way back. I think experience is what does it.”

Since entering motherhood and protesting at the Nigerian Consulate for the "Bring Back Out Girls" campaign, Alicia talks about how she has evolved as in artist. She dished,

“I’ve evolved as an artist in so many ways,” she reveals. “I’ve been exposed to so many things from life and womanhood… music styles, clarity of self, and self-purpose. Musically I’ve evolved, lyrically I’ve definitely evolved, emotionally I’ve totally evolved, and physically I’ve evolved. There’s been a lot of evolution!”
 

 photo ahaute1.png

And her hubby Swizz Beatz has been right by her side every step of the way, encouraging her in everything that she’s doing. He was spotted with his own personal copy of his wife’s magazine cover during the 2014 Angel Ball. Proving that pregnancy isn’t slowing her down any, Mrs. Dean hit the stage for a surprise performance during the ball.

 

And in a pregnancy photoshoot....

“Crisis” star/photographer Lance Gross (whose work debuted in VOGUE Italia recently) turned his camera on Tank’s pregnant girlfriend Zena Foster. Lance captured some beautiful shots of the expecting mother.

In the black and white maternity shots, Zena posed proudly with her growing bump on full display.

And she kept it classy with a few topless shots. We're sure these will be scattered throughout her and Tank's home.

CELEBS GIVE BACK: Kimora Lee Simmons ANNOUNCES A $1 Million Dollar Scholarship Fund For Fashion Students

Kimora Lee Simmons has announced the creation of a $ 1 Million scholarship fund for students pursuing careers in fashion. More inside...

 The Queen of Fabulosity, Kimora Lee Simmons, is giving young artists and fashionistas a helping hand in their quest to make an impact in the world of fashion. The newlywed mom of three (who's reportedly pregnant) has created a new $1 million scholarship fund, which will underwrite scholarships at the Fashion Institute of Technology, across all disciplines, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) and Rush Teens (a segment of an art-focused philanthropic initiative founded by her ex-husband, Russell Simmons).

During an interview with Vogue, Kimora said she wants to empower young talent through education and enabling them with opportunities that even she didn’t have.

“This is like wish fulfillment on my end, to tap into that formal education. I never had someone put money into my career or my business—it’s very tough out there, and it will never get any easier!”

The fund will also include an internship program with KLS Collection, her soon-to-be-launched New York brand.

“For me, there’s so many young people who I feel like don’t have a voice. I hope these scholarships will give access to that untapped talent, to tell the next Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, or Narciso Rodriguez that we believe in them.”

 

We wish Kimora and all the applicants well on their quest to change the world of fashion.

Toya Wright WEIGHS In On Lil Wayne & Christina Milian Allegedly Dating -- “It’s A Hot Mess”

Lil Wayne’s ex-wife Toya Wright is breaking her silence about her ex-husband/baby daddy’s current “situationship” with Christina Milian. Find out what she thinks about their recent “coupling” inside…

By now, we’ve all seen Lil Wayne and Christina Milian parading around all hugged up rocking matching sneakers in Philly, partying hard for Weezy’s birthday in L.A. and holding hands at the 2014 ESPY Award.

Let those two tell it…they’re just “friends”. Christina explained it as a musical connection…they’re just “making music.” Hmph.  

It definitely looks like more than just friends. And we’re not the only ones who think so. Lil Wayne’s first wife and mother of his daughter, Toya Wright (who is married to MempHitz), is weighing in on the two allegedly dating.

During an interview with VLAD TV, when asked what she thought about their relationship she simply called it “a hot mess.” She said,

“It’s a hot mess, if you want my honest opinion. That’s just too much. I just don’t think that’s cool. It’s too many other women out there to date your son’s mother ex-husband girl. It’s just too much. So just a lot to explain to your kids, so I feel Nivea [who had similar sentiments in another interview] on that.”

So has she talked to Wayne about it?

“I mean…no I don’t really get into Wayne’s love life unless it has something to do with my daughter. I don’t get into his love life like that.”

Hmmm…check it below:
 

 

 

 

 

Do you agree with Toya? Is Wayne dating Christina just TOO much for the children to handle?

Tamar Braxton and Mary J. Blige have new videos. Tamar gets sexy in the visuals for “Let Me Know” featuring Future, while Mary J. hits the streets of London in “Right Now”. Peep the visual treatments inside….

Tamar Braxton has a brand new single“Let Me Know” featuring Future. And today she debuted the visuals on “106&Park”.

Tamar put her director’s hat on for this video to execute her “artistry” she often talks about. The video is definitely giving off a Beyonce-esque vibe with the blonde hair, sparkly jumpsuit and leotards, but we’re feeling it.  

 photo tav2.png

Donning a Givenchy sequin print jersey dress, jacket and nude Louboutins, the Love & War singer explained to the BET hosts (singer Jason Derulo was sitting in for Bow Wow/Shad Moss) why she chose to put Future (who is her labelmate) on the track. She said, “ It sounds like a record he needed to be on”.

She also dished a bit on season 3 of “Tamar & Vince” which premieres tonight at 10pm on WEtv. She said we will see her as she works on building her music career, as a first time mother, wife and entrepreneur.

When asked who was the bigger diva between her and her husband, she dished, “He [Vince] is like Diddy times 3…he has to get his hair done his nails done, it’s serious”

Ha! Peep her new vid below:
 

We feelin' it?

And in another video....

 photo mjbno.png

Mary J. Blige is still rocking out on the music scene with a new album in the works. MJB unleashed the visuals for her Disclosure-produced track “Right Now”, which is a single off of her upcoming thirteenth studio album, The London Sessions.

In the video, Mary cruises in the back of a black Bentley strolling through the streets of London before she makes her way to the stage and rocks the house at an underground dance club.

We can expect The London Sessions to drop December 2nd with productions from superproducer Rodney Jerkins, Sam Smith and others. MJB will also be hitting the stage to perform at the American Music Awards in L.A. on November 23rsd.
