It’s been a minute since I heard about my gurl Melanie Fiona..granted she’s globetrotting making her mark overseas but damn do I miss her. Glad to see she’s now officially part of the 2010 Rocawear Fall Campaign along with Trey Songz. Here’s a lil’ bit about the campaign and some fabulous photography of the two.

On Tuesday, BET announced the list of nominees for its 2010 BET Awards. Don’t even get me started about this year’s nominees. Anywhoo, Hip-hop’s royal couple Jay-Z and Beyonce will be battling it out in three categories at this year. I’m guessing BET did that on purpose so that people will actually tune-in– this just might be the closest thing to a fit that you’ll ever get from the Carters anyway. The two are nominated for “Video of the Year”, “Best Collaboration” and “Viewers Choice”. Jay-Z is also up against one of our favorite songstresses Melanie Fiona and rap newcomer B.o.B in video of the year as well. Ya already know Jay “runs this town”, but he’s also running this year’s nominations as he’s in the lead with five, including “Best Male Hip-hop Artist”. While wifey Beyonce and Swizz Beatz’ boo Alicia Keys vying for “Best R&B Female Artist”. Young Money’s Drake and Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz and Diddy will be taking the stage as confirmed performers. Let just hope Nicki doesn’t perform “Massive Attack” ’cause that would definitely be a massive failure…well it already is. Queen Latifah is set to host the awards ceremony which takes place Sunday, June 27th.

Peep pics from the announcement conference

Brace yourself for the full list of nominees…definitely a shocker! Trust and believe it’s not in a good way either.

Over the weekend, our fav. songstress Melanie Fiona was locked up in her apartment sick as a dog. Nonetheless she OD’d on some tea and got on the web cam to belt out her rendition of Bob Marley’s song “Redemption Song”…the same song Rihanna butchered on The Oprah Show last week. Check the clips below and you be the judge.



Ya already know…Melanie on any day trumps Rihanna!
