Teyana Taylor refuses to take any true L’s. After ditching her tour mate , the G.O.O.D. Music singer took a fall while performing in NYC, but managed to play it off as smoothly as can be. Reports TMZ : The crazy fall went down at PlayStation Theater in NYC where she was performing her set in the tour formerly known as the Later That Night tour (more on that in a bit). You see Teyana doing what she does best — move her body — when, outta nowhere, BAM … she slips. You can see her left foot lose grip … and though it looked like an awkward fall (that right knee appears to bend like no knee should ever bend), Teyana quickly gets up and doesn’t skip a beat. Now that’s a true professional. — Photo: WENN.com
Hip-Hop Heavies Packed PlayStation Theater Nov. 17 For Global Spin Awards; Swizz Beatz Honored For Selling 300 Million Records Swizz Beatz went from show host to award winner during a surprise tribute at the Global Spin Awards. The producer was in the middle of reading from the teleprompter during the awards – known as the Grammy awards for DJs – when out came his old label mates the Lox, as well as his mother, father, uncle and wife Alicia Keys. They presented him with three plaques to represent the 300 million records he’d sold in his career. “He had just surpassed the 300 million record mark, and we thought that was the perfect opportunity that he would be unaware of, that would be extremely heartfelt and extremely special,” show founder Shawn Prez told BOSSIP. Beatz apparently had no idea that he’d get the nod, and looked genuinely surprised, tearing up a little bit as he accepted the plaques. The special moment was one of many at the Global Spin Awards Nov. 17 at the PlayStation Theater in NYC. The Rev. Jesse Jackson Dr, 2Chainz, T-Pain, Timabaland and Jonathan Cheban watched DJ Envy win DJ of the Year, Mark Ronson cinch the Breaking Barriers Award and DJ Carisma win Female of the Year. Hip-hop pioneers Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Caz and Busy Bee presented their peer Afrikaa Bambaataa with a lifetime achievement award. After the show, guests headed a few blocks away to Fabolous and DJ Mustard’s after party at Stage 48, where Ty Dolla $ign performed. The awards will air Nov. 24 on REVOLT.
