I had the pleasure of joining Trina and the ladies of PYNK Magazine at Philippe Chow in NYC to celebrate Treen Bean gracing the cover of their latest issue. Trina walked in with her rumored beau French Montana by her side, and throughout the night, her girl LaLa stopped by to show her some love, as well as Emily B, Julissa Bermudez, former Basketball Wives star Meeka Claxton (who co-owns PYNK) and more.

That was a lot of estrogen for one room, and I have to say: these women are ALL absolute sweethearts, and every single ego was checked at the door.

This was my first time catching a flight for a major event, and I must say, it was so cool!

Funk Flex got myself and Caasi a hotel for the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards, and what a time it was! We did dinner with Joey and Kaylin the first night, then hit Club ESSO with Flex, French Montana, Diddy, Waka Flocka, Wale and more.

The next night, Caasi and I got to attend the show, but the after-party was really where it was at! T.I. threw a vibe at his crib, and I chopped it up with Lil Duval, Miguel, Big Boi, Green Lantern, Nelly, mermaids! and more.

2011 was a dope year. I worked as Joe Budden‘s assistant for a few months, so we had a lot of random adventures during that time – including the video of me being his hypeman in Miami over the summer for “OLS3”, LOL! There’s also my appearance in his music video for “Unison,” since it was taped at one of our pool parties over the summer. That’s below too.

I met DJ Pauly D randomly in NYC, went to a taping of Saturday Night Live and got to meet my fave Katy Perry, went to the premiere of Flex‘s MTV2 show, Tyrese dropped by Hot 97, hit a show in RI with French Montana and Wiz Khalifa, my homie DJ Ricky Ruckus flew me out to Cleveland to host a party, I helped put together 52 Fest – a festival to support injured Rutgers player Eric LeGrand and a bunch of other awesome stuff…but I’ll do separate posts for deeper dives into those!
