Beyonce’s Mom, Tina Knowles, filed for divorce last December after all this hit the fan. I wonder if baby brother will follow in his big sister(s) footsteps…
Monica’s album finally dropped yesterday (3/23) and she held an in-store ?Meet and Greet? at DTLR in Atlanta.? HUNDREDS of fans came out from all around Georgia, and even traveled from Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina just to have the chance to meet her.
