Here’s one more chance to see Nas in Miami…he’s performing with Damian Marley at the dance-heavy Ultra Music Festival during WMC.
So…Nas and Damian Marley are set to be one of the headliners on the main stage of Day Two at this year’s Ultra Music Festival during the Winter Music Conference festivities. Along with other acts like David Guetta, Deadmau5, Tiesto and others, Ultra is seemingly more fit for the “dance/techno/dnb” crowds. But I’m sure where there’s a will, there’s a way. Nas & Damian will perform on Day 2, which is March 27th at BiCentinnial Park. For full lineup and ticket information. Click here to go to Ultra’s official website…or…click here to see the flyer
Nikki Minaj & Melyssa Ford host PLAY. I actually met and spoke with Melyssa last night at this Moves Magazine party. She is looking quite good in person. She did a little The305 video drop for me too. Check her out tonight at Play.
So on to a rare glimpse of gossip on The305. Via TheYBF and In Touch Weekly, they are saying that Brandy and Flo Rida are the new “it” couple it seems. You know you can almost never trust these relationship rumors that be poppin’ up, but they’re saying a little Twitter update may have sealed the deal on this rumor. But here’s what In Touch says:
“Brandy’s brother, Ray J, has been looking for love — but now it’s her turn! On January 28, she got cozy with rap superstar Flo Rida at Haze Nightclub at Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. “The two arrived together holding hands and having an intimate conversation,” an onlooker tells In Touch. “They are definitely hooking up.” And that’s not the first time the musical duo were together. They hung out at the Y100 concert in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in December. And at the Universal Motown Republic Group Grammy bash at the W Los Angeles on January 31, Brandy made sure to stay away from other men and hung out with her pal, singer Kelly Rowland, instead. Brandy only has eyes for Flo Rida. “Guys tried to hit on Brandy and she ignored them,” says an onlooker at the Grey Goose-sponsored event on January 31.”
If this is true….shouts to Flo. If its not, better luck next time Brandy.
