Masego didn’t just perform. He created an experien Masego didn’t just perform. He created an experience.

From singing and playing multiple instruments to engaging with the crowd, tossing roses and turning The Anthem into a church choir for “Heaven,” there was something happening all night.
What stood out most was the musicality. 

@Masego moved effortlessly through the different sounds, styles and emotions in his catalog while reminding everyone in the room just how deep his artistry runs.

“Fix Your Face,” “Tadow,” “Navajo,” “Good & Plenty,” “Mystery Lady” and more all found their place in a night that felt less like a concert and more like a musical journey.

10/10. No notes.

Sometimes you walk into a concert expecting to see Sometimes you walk into a concert expecting to see one artist and leave with a new one on your radar.

That was @lekan.official for me.

His set at The Anthem immediately caught my attention. There’s a richness to his voice and a confidence in his delivery that made it easy to lock in, even when I wasn’t familiar with the songs.

He had the room listening, and that says a lot for an opening act.

Definitely an artist I’ll be listening to a lot more after this. 🎶

Actress @malinsworld shared how a chance encounter Actress @malinsworld shared how a chance encounter with @blackgirlvitamins at the Congressional Black Caucus turned into a partnership after she tried the products for herself and saw real results.

But what stood out most wasn’t just the wellness benefits. It was the brand’s commitment to giving back. From supporting her Arise and Shine Foundation to helping provide a $5,000 HBCU scholarship, Williams says the partnership is about much more than supplements.

“We need the resources. We need the support. And we need to just be pouring into one another.”

At the 2026 @essencefest , Dillard reflected on his journey and how his faith remained at the center of it all.

“I was always in church,” he said. “Even when I met Frankie Knuckles, Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk and Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley, I was already singing in the choir.”
