V.I.P. Suite: Nelly's 3rd Annual Black & White Ball

After partying hard at LUSH on Friday and the Skybox on Saturday, Nelly and the Derrty ENT family ended the Derrty ENT weekend with Nelly's 3rd Annual Black and White Ball. The event this year was extra special because they announced the start of a scholarship in partnership with Lindenwood University for 2 students. If you are going to party, then party with a purpose. Synergy put on a fabolus event and with sponosrs like Budwieser and Jose Cuervo you know the bar stayed occupied. Plaza Motors may have won my unoffical award for sponsor of the year for giving away a brand new Lexus valued at $48,000 to one lucky guest. The event started out with a small intimate dinner and followed with a larger guest list for the party. Guest included former Rams player, Roland Williams, Kiki the 1st Lady from 100.3 the Beat, Mike and Jeanee Roberts, Jermain Dupri, from News Channel 4 Vickie Newton, St. Louis Cardinals President Bill Dewitt III, Congressman Lacy Clay. St. Louis Rams player Steven Jackson showed up, but he came late after losing to the Dolphins which makes them 2-10. And of course Ashanti was there with her Mother and younger sister.

Boogie D of HOT 104.1 stopped on the red carpet for a quick pic with his wife, Jami B.

(l-r) Quincy, George, and Kieth

The evening got off to a good start because I was sitting at the table with Quincy and Kieth.

My favorite St. Lunatic Murphy Lee and his wife showed with a splash of color. I must say that they make a lovely couple and you know their closet has to be filled with some original pieces because they are a very stylish couple. If you haven't picked up his Mix Tape, please do so because it is so HOT, it hasn't left my CD player yet.

St. Louis Promoter Queen, Mocha Latte was there before heading over to Dante's for her Sunday Night event. I almost snatched this fab jacket right off her back.

Ladies of Radio-One St. Louis were there. Loni can be heard weekly on Loni's Love Lounge on Foxy 95.5

(l-r) Jami B. and Jermain Dupri
Mr. Super Producer Jermain Dupri had his bow-tie swag game in full effect.

Kyuan and along with his wife
The Lunatics were all over the place at the Chase. Kyuan managed to squeeze a little of his trademark green into this tie. Ladies take note of his wife's hair, it was the perfect color and the cut too cute.

(l-r) Alecia, Wanya Harris and Paige

Fontbonne students Alecia and Paige had a good night and were looking sexy in there all black. Wanya of Boyz II Men was smiling hard, but can you blame him.

(l-r) Jami B. and City Spud
That's right folks City Spud was in the house. Is it just me or is he starting to look a lot like Nelly these days. And he's buffed up something major. He was looking fly and smiling just enough to show off those dimples.

Young Dip of HOT 104.1 took time out from sipping on his drink so we could snap a photo with JIBBS. I almost didn't recognize Jibbs without his chain, plus he's no kid anymore, he was looking like a grown man last night.


Boogie D who worked at Virgin before coming to St. Louis was able to meet back up with his former boss Jermaine Dupri.


Boyz II Men (-1 that left the group) were singing like it was 1992. During "I'll Make Love to you they got up close with more than a few ladies as they passed out roses to the crowd. They even brought us into the holiday spirit by singing Silent Night.
