Come hydrated #Dreamville Weekend . @dreamvillefest @dussepalooza @everydayppl @40zandwaffles A post shared by Dreamville (@dreamville) on Mar 25, 2019 at 4:27pm PDT Now, on with the show! Dreamville has put together a very special line-up with a very special fan-friendly schedule that ensures that you will be able to see literally every single act that touches both stages without missing a beat! The performances have been offset by about 10 minutes so that you will have time to walk from one stage to the other and secure a great viewing spot without having long waits in between artists and missing the beginning of each set. Very thoughtful, very easy to do. J. Cole has always been very thoughtful when it comes to giving fans an experience that caters to them and this attention to detail is just another example of that kind of care. Suffice to say, the entire dynamic Dreamville roster will be taking the stage Saturday at Dorothea Dix Park, but the special guests who’ve been invited to perform will undoubtedly take things to another level. 21 Savage, SZA, 6lack, Teyana Taylor, Rapsody, DaVido, Nelly, Big Sean, Saba and Mez are ALL on deck to make this an experience that will stay with you for a LONG time after the weekend has ended.

Move Over Priyanka! Beyoncé Performs At Wedding For Daughter Of Richest Man In India

Source: Larry Busacca/PW18 / Getty Beyoncé Performs at Pre-Wedding Festivities For Indian Heiress Isha Ambani Just when you thought nothing could top Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ over the top Indian nuptials, Beyoncé showed up to perform at the pre-wedding festivities for Isha Ambani, the 27-year-old daughter of India’s richest man — the chairman of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani, whose fortune was worth an estimated $47.3 BILLION at last count. Ambani, who graduated from Yale in 2014, is set to wed 33-year-old real estate mogul Anand Piramal later this week on December 12. Bey turned to Indian designers for her performances, which included favorites like “Crazy in Love” and “Perfect.” Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla designed the red silk dress she wore in the initial photos she posted, paired with golden tikka and later changed into an embellished golden bodysuit by Falguni and Shane Peacock. Pre-wedding festivities were held at the Oberoi Udaivilas and Taj Lake Palace, while the wedding will be held at the Ambani’s home in Mumbai. Besides Beyoncé, Hilary Clinton and Arianna Huffington were also in attendance at this weekend’s events, as were 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch, BP Group CEO Bob Dudley, and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. How much do you think she got paid? We’re guessing at least a couple milli — Daddy’s worth almost 50 Billion — what’s a few million to him? Hit the flip for more from Bey’s dancers

Post-Midterm Casualty: Donald Trump Forces Jeff Sessions To Resign As Attorney General

Image via Taylor Hill/WireImage/Getty Jeff Session Pushed Out As Attorney General Donald Trump is a dumba$$, but he has enough sense to know when things won’t help his cause. For literally months now Trump has been badgering and bullying the now former Attorney General from both Twitter and press conference podiums. The thought among political talking heads was that Trump wouldn’t fire Sessions prior to the midterm election because it would look bad on him and ultimately affect the vote. Well, the midterms aren’t even 24 hours from being closed and Trump has finally pushed Sessions out the airplane. According to CNN , Sessions had submitted a resignation letter that leaves no doubt as to why he is vacating his position. It begins: Dear Mr. President, At your request, I am submitting my resignation… Translation (in our own words): “Here, you sniveling son-of-a-b!t¢#, take this f***ing resignation and shove it up your orange a$$!” We damn sure won’t miss Jeff Sessions, he’s one of the worst Attorney Generals we’ve ever seen and at his very best he’s a bigot who has no regard for Black lives or people of color. That said, Trump is really trying to get this Mueller investigation out the paint and Jeff Session was one of the few things in his way. Scary times.

BACARDÍ ‘Liberate Your Spirits’ Halloween Bash with Ciara and Swizz Beatz in Brooklyn   Ciara Courtesy of BACARDI   Last night,  BACARDÍ  hosted its  Liberate Your Spirits  Halloween bash, where guests left behind their inhibitions to do what moves them. At the epic event, guests tapped into their celestial and sinister spirits as they enjoyed spooky BACARDÍ libations and killer performances from singer-songwriter  Ciara , rapper  Swizz Beatz , and DJ twin-sister duo,  Nina Sky .   Ciara , who just celebrated her 33 rd  birthday last week, is back in the music scene after a three-year hiatus and already climbing the charts with new hits “Dose” and “Level Up.” Last night, the ATL singer   dressed as Nakia, Lupita Nyong’o’s character in the Blockbuster film  Black Panther . Ciara and Swizz Beatz drew spirited crowds of party guests as they sipped on BACARDÍ Zombie cocktails and snapped photos in front of a BACARDÍ sign arranged from dead roses. As they got decked out transformations into their “sinister and celestial spirits”, guests enjoyed BACARDÍ Zombies – a Caribbean-inspired cocktail, made with BACARDÍ Superior and BACARDÍ Black and served in chilling tiki glasses – as well as creations like Rosemary’s Cocktail and the Jungle Bird. Courtesy of BACARDI The evening performances kicked off with a set from Nina Sky, followed by an epic performance by Ciara, complete with back-up dancers also dressed in  Black Panther  inspired attire. The singer and dancer performed both new and old hits, starting with her iconic fan-favorite “Goodies,” then going on to perform her current single “Dose.” Ciara ignited the crowd with the classic throwback “Tootsie Roll,” choreographing a dance that everyone joined. She encouraged guests to liberate their spirits before going on to perform her classic hit “1, 2 Step.”  To close out her performance, Ciara sang her new viral dance single “Level Up” to a roaring crowd. CiCi didn’t realize she was in for a surprise herself when BACARDÍ and Swizz Beatz presented her with a birthday cake onstage post-performance.  The crowd erupted in Stevie Wonder’s rendition of “Happy Birthday” as Ciara blew out the candles to a custom Halloween themed cake made by BCakeNY in Brooklyn. Closing out the evening on a high note, BACARDÍ collaborator and award-winning producer Swizz Beatz treated the crowd to exclusive music from his new album, Poison, dropping officially later this week.
