No more diet cokes, she on the coke diet…
100 dollar bills, achoo, achoo…
Wale, Teyana Taylor and Chad Hugo

Cavalli vodka anyone?

I said, “Imma turn my phone off and watch things fall apart in hip hop music. You’re all welcome.”
Thanks for the advice Wale. LOL

Definitely a good look. Can someone hook up some video?

Tune in at 5PM

All I gotta say is wow. Lots of percussion. Everyone sounded amazing. I loved the outfits. Dave’s reaction. Everyone rhyming along with Wale’s Olsen twin line. Classic.
