Male supermodel Tyson Beckford and television personality Toya Wright played co-hosts to Rolling Out’s ‘Men of Power and Influence Awards’ last Thursday evening (December 13, 2012).
Atlanta’s trendsetters gathered at Atlanta’s Twelve Ballroom at Atlantic Station to honor several of Atlanta’s own ‘Men of Power & Influence,” which consisted of entertainment mogul and philanthropist Michael Mauldin, Atlanta city councilman Kwanza Hall, DeKalb County commissioner Lee May, Grammy Award-winning producer Shondrae “Bangladesh” Crawford, rapper and songwriter Roscoe Dash, founding and managing partner of Edmond & Lindsay LLP Rod Edmond, Coca-Cola executive Mark Pitts, V-103 radio host and restaurateur Frank Ski, Olympic gold medalist Angelo Taylor, NCAA and NBA champion Derek Anderson, Emmy Award-winning CNN journalist and anchor Don Lemon, Dr. William Jelani Cobb and professor Nathan McCall at the Ford sponsored event.
Legendary music producer Jermaine Dupri was among the honorees but unable to attend; his father Michael Mauldin graciously accepted the award on his behalf.

Who let Toya host?
Who let you host? Oh yeah,thats right;THEY DIDNT!
LMAO! Toya always look pretty.
And where you sitting Queen ugly. Behind your computer screen worrying about my comment.
I agree as well people have always talked about toya’s speaking voice she does look a bit out of place here. people call hater or whatever but these are accomplished people who have worked there lives at something. Not a person who 1st claim to fame was being a baby momma to a rapper the a reality star. just saying
Last I checked Toya is Wayne’s Ex-Wife.
So exactly when should new talent come into play? If she’s been given the opportunity to embark on a new profession what’s the problem? Oh yeah the crab in the barrel mentality of other blacks..SMDH
Go Toya! and any other person that pursues personal and professional growth!
Another pointless awards ceremony. It must feel good to be one of the many Negroes who attended this ceremony of self-praise and personal jubilation, while black folks in the hood-jut across town-are tying not to be the next victims of all the widespread and rapidly increasingly violent crime that’s plaguing Atlanta.
And someone please tell me what Toya Wright is doing there? Why does she bother to go to these sorts of events? Had it not been for her bagging some lucky sperm, she’d be just another chick on section 8, waiting on the mailman. Everyone knows she gets around faster than a FedEx truck.
I suppose she was there to accept the plaque for ‘Most Glorified Hoochie Mama/Hoodrat Of The 2000s’?
Or ‘Most Prolific Professional Leg Spreader In Hip Hop’?
You just jealous. You must be ugly.
I’m jealous, huh? I suppose I missed you receiving your plaque there, perhaps?
Or maybe you couldn’t make it since you had a prior engagement with a cheese cake and Netflix?
Of course, they probably didn’t have an award for laziest, morbidly obese hood rat.
SHUT UP! Hater youre right,she just proved it;SHES UGLY!
I agree with Hater! There is no need for the negativity.You are so un- necessary.Sit down!
You are PITIFUL! What is she suppose to do? Turn down a job because of jealous females like you!Girl please! Toya dont even know you exist.You sound crazy,with your NASTY mouth!
whoever you are… you are going hard for Toya.
With everyone in ties and suits, Memphitz attire is lacking. Everyone else looks nice.
Memphitz is TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINE though!
He looks goofy *shrugs*
I agree. He is not my cup of tea. But I will take a topless photo with his face cropped off anyday.
You are right. Even Roscoe Dash had on a suit and tie…Roscoe Dash!!!
My thought also. This is an award banquet and this foolish child shows up in a shweat shirt and tennis shoes. And please take them dame shades off. Ugh
Memphitz can wear a clown suit, with big floppy shoes,and still he will be the FINEST MAN IN THE ROOM!!!!!! JUST SAYIN……
Toya looks DAZED & CONFUSED but oh so PRETTY! Tyson can STILL get it ANY day of the week & TWICE on Sunday (Lord forgive me).
There always has to be sum1 to phuck er’thing up & that award goes to Roscoe Dash & his Coolie High haircut! Bangladesh looks like he’s on that stuff (no bueno)!
I love me some Tyson Beckford…
Yeah but Tyson is looking like he loves him some Roscoe Dash!
I’m still not getting the logic of Toya as a host…
I also don’t think Roscoe Dash fits into the whole "men of power and influence" theme too well, at least not as an award winner… but hey, any reason to dress people up & take pictures. I digress.
Always love to see Tyson though.
You dont have to get;since youre not doing the hiring.lol
Lmao @ all comments! Toya ain’t gone eva catch no slack for being lil Wayne "baby mama"! She’s always criticized for tha issh, like fa what??? Cuz y’all ain’t in her shoes! Must be much hate, jealousy, & envy! I wonder how y’all face look cuz if you hit then that explains it all!!
the side eys tyson b. is giving roscoe dash while he’s accepting his award is priceless.
the side eye tyson b. is giving roscoe dash while he’s accepting his award is priceless.
LMAOOO! ATLANTA IS THE FUNNIEST PLACE ON THE PLANET EARTH OKKK! I swear every week someone comes up with a bootleg awards show "honoring the city’s finest…" whether if it’s in fashion, music, etc…get real ok. Just any old excuse to have people come together for photo ops…SMH.
She looks like a dial tone rings in her head 24/7
[...] Men of Power and influence hosted by Toya Wright -StraightfromtheA [...]
Toya is killing the game. All y’all HATERS step back. It’s those lazy baby-momma’s sitting around collecting checks with relevance that I despice. Toya is an ex-wife, newly married current wife who has been presented the opportunity to do better and improve in life. I love watching a woman grow and stii remain humble. God will continue to bless her. Memphitz did a wonderful job at helping her get a boost in life with his BET connections. STOP GIVING WAYNE THE CREDIT!!
