Whats up guys, Last night was Nini's pre release party for her new album "The World Through My Eyes" which drops on June 28th. The party was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, NY and it was a few royal celebs in attendance, but I'll get to that later. It started around 8:30pm and it began with a dedication to Nini, where people got on the stage and said a few nice things about her and her music. There was a small VIP section which seated 12 people and after the nice comments, there was food that was brought out from the back by Nini's private butlers and it was a nice soul food buffet. Everyone was dressed in fancy sophisticated clothing (myself included) and it reminded you of a prom,sort of. The DJ began playing songs from the new album, but only previews which was like only 1 minute long and he did that for each song just to give us a taste on whats coming, and the audience reacted well to them. Everyone went about their business talking and chowing down while the music was being played. Now for the guests: The royal celebs included: Nini of course, Rhi Rhi, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Kelly Clarkson, Big Sean, Selena Gomez, Ke$ha, Cymphonique, Miranda Cosgrove, JAY-Z, Kat Graham, Nicki Minaj, TIP, Eminem And the Knowles Fam (B, SOLO AND TINA) and they were the VIP of the night and they were seated high above everyone in the VIP section. Other guests who were in attendance were: Mike Tyson, The Game, Vanessa Williams, Michelle Williams, Keyshia Cole, Vivica A Fox, Charlie Murphy, Eddie Murphy and Brandon T Jackson. But they were not in the VIP section, but they seemed to be having a good time. The food that was there was soul food and included: Fried chicken, mac n cheese, greens, mashed potatoes, ribs, hot wings, turkey breasts, gravy, corn, salad and smothered pork chops. The desserts were: Chocolate cake, Chocolate pudding and Chocolate brownies. The VIP guests in the VIP section (including Nini) had their food brought up to them (cant say we blame them) There were a few select fans in attendance as well, which were mostly fans who have won previous contests from Nini and were allowed to participate in this event as a part of their prize. The fans were not star struck and there wasn't any problems from any of them. It was 5 girls and 3 men and they were calm and cool throughout the whole night, despite being around many royal and famous people. The rest of the attendance was made up of PSR management, Nini's producers, engineers, mixers, designers and label staff. The party was filled with 172 people including myself which is not a HUGE party like her last one, but it was still pretty cool. Nini was not seen most of the night as she stayed in VIP with her VIP guests. She was only seen in the beginning, and for some reason she left the party at around 12:15am by herself, and left the party to us. During her absence, the DJ began playing more music and everyone decided to get up and dance, including the folks in VIP who came down to take part with everyone, even Tina Knowles (its funny to see old people dance lol) and everyone was having a great time. Surprisingly though, there was NO alcohol at this event, no bar, not even a mini bar was there, so we were a little disappointed by that being that Nini's parties always seem to get wild with liquor involved. But it was no big deal and we just moved on. Nini didn't return until after 230AM, and at this time the party was wrapping up. She got on stage and thanked everyone for coming out to support her, and that she appreciates everyone in the room including us fans. And then she personally called me out which was a shock and my heart was pounding the whole time lol. here's what she said: "I also would like to thank Johnny, my blogger, you give my fans more of me and you keep my work and my name in everyone's heart and I appreciate that, and I appreciate the fact that you are not like most bloggers who post bullshit just to get a story, I love how you only deal with facts and I respect you for that, give it up for Johnny Y'all!!!" in which all eyes were on me, the spotlight flashed on me and everyone cheered for me. It really was a proud moment for me lol. A few of the guys came to shake my hand and a few of the girls gave me hugs and it felt so nice to be respected by a royal crew :). The party continued for another 30 minutes until 3:00 on the dot and when 3 hit, the music stopped and everything shut down and everyone began leaving out the building. Nini was standing outside and was giving everyone hugs when they walked out and everyone went their separate ways. I was the last to come out and when I got outside I thanked her for her shout out, and she said "Don't make me regret what I said" in which I said "Never That" in which we both laughed and gave each other a hug and she waved bye to me and I did the same. She really is a cool person and I was delighted to have that personal moment with her, even if it WAS just a moment lol. All in all it was the sweetest party I ever been too and its true what they say: Celebs throw the best parties. Everyone hopped into their stretch limos while Nini stayed behind inside with her management crew and we all departed the area. That's the story on how it went down last night and we cant wait for that album it sounds super cool! P.S sorry guys, I wasn't able to get many pics for you, my camera was acting up the entire night, BUT, I managed to get a couple as you can see above, so please don't hate me lol
