Last night in NYC, Jennifer Hudson trekked it to the Apollo Theater in her printed Louboutins for the big premiere of the upcoming Holiday musical Black Nativity.
Check out the fab chick and her co-stars, like Jacob Latimore, inside at the premiere and afterparty at Red Rooster in Harlem…
Jenny knows the dresses that work for her new bod. This little black Yigal Azrouel dress with panels of sheer material and a sexy slit, paired with multi-colored Louboutins, was a fab choice for the newly coifed actress/singer last night. A different bra may have made the look even hotter, but she looked fab nonetheless:
Forest Whitaker had his wife Keisha and daughter Sonnet on his arms for his big night:
Nas, who is also in the movie, flew solo on the carpet.
TD Jakes and his fam awkwardly hit the carpet.
Russell Simmons was spotted at the premiere supporting his celeb friends with singer Alyson Williams.
Co-star Tyrese tossed on his grey suit and hit the carpet.
TD Jakes and Forest posed it up with Kasi Lemmons.
Singer Antonique Smith (from Notorious) hit the carpet in a sexy white gown.
The gorgeous Angela Bassett, who plays Forest’s wife in the movie, rocked a cute Rachel Roy dress for premiere night:
And, of course, her hubby Courtney B. Vance was there to support. Loves them!
Former “Top Model” contestant Keenyah Hill rocked a stylish look on the carpet.
Best Man Holiday director Malcolm D. Lee went out to support his fellow celeb friends in their Holiday movie.
Lynn Whitfield is looking great these days at 60. Face work settled and everything…
Singer Luke James rocked an interesting look for the carpet.
Reality star and Olympian Sanya Rchards-Ross posed with her NFLer hubby Aaron Ross. Cute DVF pantsuit with a Chloe sandal.
And Disney Star and former “DWTS” contestant Zendaya Coleman rocked a stylish yet age appropriate look for the carpet. A white sheer & dotted Chloe dress and mint Louboutins. Nice!

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:
I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…
Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here. Stream the official audio below and connect with Skilla Baby 0n Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:
Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.
Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
