Tongues are wagging that Snoop Dog has addressed “all the hate” thrown at him for performing at one of President Donald Trump’s inaugural balls. On January 26, the multi-award-winning rapper posted a video on Instagram addressing his critics. As he appeared to take a hit off what looked like a blunt as he sat in his car, Snoop said, “For all the hate, I’m going to answer with love. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100 % Black. All out ‘til you ball out or ‘til you fall out.” Aside from Nelly performing, other Black celebrities who attended President Trump’s events included boxing legends Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Harlem-based fashion designer Edwing D’Angelo presented his atelier’s 5th Anniversary Fundraising Soiree on January 26 at his luxurious atelier on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. Invited guests included Sherri Shepherd, Ty Hunter, Johnny Nunez and Constance C.R. White. Harlem Ambassador Musa Jackson was the afternoon’s MC. The affair was a tribute to D’Angelo’s visionary legacy and commitment to uplifting underserved communities.Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Xavien “Zay” Kevonn Flowers has formed a collaboration with Urban Stems CEO Meenakshi Lala for Valentine’s Day. According to Jill Brooke’s flowerpowerdaily.com, Urban Stems is “anointing” Flowers as its “first-ever chief floral receiver.” Flowers has endorsed and created a special bouquet for $72 that fans can purchase. The Zay Bouquet includes what the pro bowl player said are “not some grocery store flowers” but rather a vibrant mix of blues, purple, and white stems featuring Zay’s favorites: roses and fragrant delphiniums. Each flower was carefully selected to embody the NFL player’s dynamic energy and unmatched style on the field. Detroit native Reggie Braxton has released his debut album, “The Brax-Tone Experience.” Production credits include J. Poww and others. “I Pray it’s You” is currently charting on the Billboard Jazz Chart and Braxton’s single, “Love Guarantee” peaked at 39 on the Mediabase music charts.
