All of Atlanta came out to support Hot 107.9’s annual birthday bash last weekend. The event was somewhat long winded beginning around 5:30 and ending way past midnight but it was a total A-Town celebration. All eyes were on Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane, as everyone expected some kind of drama to pop off but fortunately there was only fun and music and no sounds of gunshots or knife wounds to report.

My birthday bash summary? Keri Hilson rocked a new doo, Lil Duval rocked a “Fake Ass Chain,”Plies blew $50,000 in ones, Trey Songz was caught “backstage pimpin”, and Jeezy and Gucci Mane avoided conflict. That’s about the jist of it. Oh yeah…and there was one helluva finale performance!

Peep a few videos of some of the hottest performances of the night, as well as more flix from Birthday Bash and the Zone 4 skybox party below: (more…)

Atlanta was the central celebration location yesterday (June 16th) for what would have been Tupac Shakur’s 38th birthday. The 1st annual Tupac Birthday All-Star Benefit Concert was held at The Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Atlanta and his mother, Afeni Shakur & actor/comedian Mike Epps joined forces to honor the fallen rapper.

The unique partnership was created by Epps, who despite juggling a national comedy tour, promotion of the new DVD “Funny Bidness” and two box-office films, “Next Day Air” and “Janky Promoters,” felt honored to interrupt his busy schedule to celebrate the late rapper:

“I’m a long-time fan of Pac’s music. It’s always been the soundtrack for overcoming struggle and when my life was in a desolate place it was his messages that helped bring me through,” says Epps. “I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for his inspiration. It’s an honor for me to stand alongside his mother, Afeni Shakur in celebrating such a personal moment in her son’s history.”

Check out a few flix below:

I know you guys all heard the rumors of Usher filing divorce in an Atlanta court yesterday. Well apparently no papers have been filed….in Atlanta…..yet.  The separation rumors are true but who knows? Maybe they can work it out. *shrugs*

Grand Hustle’s resident funnyman Lil Duval (aka Roland Powell) celebrated his birthday last night at Luckie Food Lounge. Not only did he don his favorite high-yella Super Fly polyester birthday suit, but the crazy “A”zz comic drank all the liquor in the building and partied til the wee hours of the morning.  I have absolutely no idea how old the birthday boy is now but according to his wikipedia page, he’s 32 this year.

Happy Birthday Lil Duval!

Lil Duval spared not one drop of liquor!

You would have thought he coulda poured out a lil for his missing patna, Tip but nooooo! He drank it ALL and you can best believe he was feeling it and probably still is. Of course I got it all on tape…I keeps my Mino running even with dranks in hand. Ha!
