Bey was spotted leaving her dressing room on her way to the stage with nephew Julez backstage at the Superdome, the same place where she rocked the stage at the 2013 Superbowl.

And rock the stage she did.  She twirled through her almost 2 hour performance from her Mrs. Carter Show world tour, and even had her celeb fans like Brandy were standing up in their seats:

Earlier in the night TGT — Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank — took the main stage.  And honestly, they could have just done one of the super lounges, but we guess they’re really trying to make this group happen.

Janelle Monae went on right before Bey.

Yes…the man right chere!  Mystikal popped up out of the blue in his hometown for the Essence festivities.

Kenya Moore kept it pretty in red…and likely was taking hand written notes on Bey’s performance so she can perform it for some side hustle money.  Since she gets mistaken for her so much and all.  Gotta love that Kenya!

"LAHH ATL" star Ariane Davis was spotted backstage.

And Bridget Kelly, rocking a sexy body con dress, posed it up with Shaunie O’Neal and Marsha Ambrosius.  By the way, Shaunie recently confirmed "Basketball Wives" will be back on VH1 August 19th.

Fab times indeed!

YOUTH SOUL LOVE releases his new album “SOULMATE”. I selected the title SOULMATE because I feel like it was something that represents my name & artistry YOUTH SOUL LOVE, It connects with my Young & mature audience bringing them back to the main objective and focus on planet earth which i believe LOVE. where I’m at as an Artist and the times were in. I feel like people are not speaking about love or singing about what comes along with love and I wanted to express my feelings a little bit less in Rap to actually deliver my stories in R&B, electronic and dance form. showcasing my ability to be diverse,You’re going to catch some Rap. You will catch some country, but I feel like this Iconic R&B sound is something soulful that the listeners could gravitate to, all the time when trying to find that special person who is their soulmate. I also went with the title because I feel like “Soulmate” was an amazing addition to my discography. I love everything around the name SOUL, whether it’s “SOUL NOT FOR SALE” or “SOULMATE”. My listeners know that they’re still in my book of discography and soulmate is just another chapter for the listeners and the lovers to connect with me. The genre borrowed from multiple forms, but I would definitely say this is a new chapter of R&B/Melodic Rap, Being that Melodic Rap is a new genre for the new generation. It is a Sound that I felt was perfect to write this musical letter to connect. – My key influences I would have to say would be Love, Heartbreak, Triumph,Fast Living & Nightlife battling to find myself in who I am as an artist while dealing with love finding the balance.
