Cornell Young IV and Lady London Go Back to School
Howard Homecoming looked better than ever with Cornell Young IV in the mix. The weekend began at The Park at 14th in Washington, D.C., where the A Different World star toasted the festivities with rapper Lady London, DJ and producer Chase B and other guests for D’USSÉ Friday, centered on music, community and the kind of Black collegiate excellence.
D’USSÉ kept the celebration going as sponsor of Lady London’s 10-Year Anniversary Brunch. Friends and notable guests raised their glasses to the rapper, an HBCU grad, for her decade-long music ambitions and cultural influence. The gathering honored not only an artistic milestone but also the community that helped carry her from Howard University to hip-hop goddes.
Coi Leray Takes the Couch
In New York City, another cognac classic was having its own cultural moment. Rapper Coi Leray joined Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz at Courvoisier’s Living Room Pop-Up on October 21. Held at Fosun Plaza, the event celebrated the brand’s global “Pass the Courvoisier” campaign, creating a moment that felt nostaglic, just like the show’s 2000s heritage.
