BELOW, WE SNAPPED A TOO MUCH PLAYIN PIC
This couple was givin each other a tongue bath and their prom wear outfits were quite the conversation piece,. LOL
NOTE: This event which was presented by SoSo Def and Starpower was OK. We were expecting more of a upscale affair (as it was noted on the flier) but the attendees were dressed more casual and street. Their were some ladies who brought their "A" game on the fashion report card, but most of the guys kept it a basic shirt, jeans and sneaks. Interestingly, when we arrived there were a bunch of casually dressed guys not getting access in the venue from security because of what they were wearing. But we digress...To be frank, we were more curious as to the venue itself for it was our first time going to the Coliseum. So, when we got access in, we saw that the spot is quite roomy and gives a Vegas feel to it with its open spaces for the many VIP areas.
The Men of the Hour Jermaine Dupri and Fresco Kane arrived after midnite from the kitchen area with their entourage of guests t main VIP area near the Dj booth. And when the hypeman announced they were in the building, the groupies came a swarming. Whats surprising was the lack of security muscle that usually guards areas hen celebrities arrive but it was open to anyone who anted to try and meet Dupri who stayed in that area. We left soon after but from one of our sources we hear that Kane and Dupri got on stage thanking the crowd for comin out and Kane performed (We are not for sure if Dupri got on the DJ turntables). Joining him on stage were Murphy Lee and Kyjuan and Chingy (who we hear was flubbin through his mic time with Kane). Overall, it was good that some of the rappers from the STL area came out to support the East St Louis native's signing to SoSo Def.
Then after about an hour of their arrival, It was, surprisingly to the crowd, closing time.
Also spotted there were Murphy Lee and Kyjuan of the St Lunatics, St Louis Post Dispatch's Kevin Johnson, event promoters Mo Spoon, King Kerry, Tommie Choncie(you are sooooo tall!) and Brandon Hinkle, Atty Daniel Brown (who arrived with Fresco Kane and Jermaine Dupri),Derrty ENT's Brick House, socialite Niddy, and investment broker Roger Macon.
Oh, and who was the guy that was screaming outside the club that he wasn't on the list?
