IRIE Music Newsletter Vol. 13 - Irie Weekend :: Clevelander Opening :: MTV Miami Week :: Zo & D. Wade's Summer Groove

Greetings from Las Vegas, So heeeere we go! Love was in the air last night as I partied until the wee hours of the morning (almost missed my 6am flight) with my boy Nick Cannon celebrating his 1 year anniversary with his wifey Mariah Carey at the Palms hotel. It was a great time and really nice to see both of their families out celebrating with them. They really do make a great couple and boy they know how to have FUN! I’ll share some exclusive photos on my social networks early next week. Is anyone ready for SUMMER yet?? I’m oh so in summer mode already it’s not even funny, but not before my Miami HEAT win us another championship! YES I still keep the faith baby. You know what they say.. it ain’t over ‘til it’s over so make sure you watch my boys get it DONE tonight! April was an absolute whirlwind! It’s like I blinked and it’s over because the 5th Annual Irie Weekend is right around the corner. Yup it’s birthday and Irie Weekend time, so for those of you that don’t know NOW YOU KNOW my birthday is June 21st and I’m alllll about gifts J. PLUS we’re taking the show on the road this year. For the 1st time ever I’ll be doing coast to coast events from New York City to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. A full schedule of birthday events will be released in the coming weeks and YES YOU ARE INVITED! Also, if you haven’t been to an Irie Weekend what are you waiting for??? There is no way you should be missing a weekend of celebrity golf, performances and the best parties of your life, June 26 -28 on Miami Beach all in good fun to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. The newly renovated Fontainebleau Hotel will serve as this year’s host hotel and you can checkout this really cool video from last year’s event here also check in with www.irieweekend.com for info on this year’s event. Right after Irie Weekend is ZO & D Wade’s Summer Groove. Last year I sat on the host committee and it was an incredible experience with a spectacular weekend of events. This year will be no different with the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino serving as the host hotel and backdrop for many of the events. A full listing of Summer Groove happenings coming soon in a special edition newsletter. By the way, I had the BEST time last week shooting MTV’s “Miami Week” with Shaheem and Rahman of MTV.  I don’t think those guys will ever forget that trip on the “high seas” cigarette racing boat or the sneak preview of the newly renovated Clevelander Hotel. You’ll be able to see all the footage in the next couple of weeks when MTV airs “Miami Week” so check your local listings and be on the lookout as it’s one of the best ever. Speaking of the Clevelander Hotel, the longtime South Beach favorite is opening its doors this weekend with a full schedule of events including a performance by yours truly this Saturday at 2pm. They’ve done superb job of delivering a new upgraded Clevelander and you’ll be able to catch me there on a monthly basis rockin’ it out with a series of 3 Olives Vodka powered events. On the events tip don’t miss my official return to club Mansion on Friday’s starting tonight with David Barton Gym’s “Be Sexy” party. Big shout to the Cameo fam and the AMAZING parties we rocked! Tomorrow I’ll have my swag on blast as I switch into model mode for the 11th annual Fashion Art Ball. Don’t miss it as that’s the ONLY time of the year I get my model on and strut it for the catwalk J. Then I’ll be gearing up for Rehab in Vegas and blasting off to Europe for a quick German club tour and coming right back in time for Memorial Weekend! Get your passports ready as we take over St. Maarten and the Bahamas for a memorial weekend you’ll never forget. I really hope I survive this one... Well gotta get going but in the meantime stay to the minute with me on twitter.
