Update-Watch the Throne after party doubled as ‘Reed Between the Lines’ star Tracee Ellis Ross‘ birthday party and Kanye West having a good time with his fans! The actress turned 39th (wow) on Saturday. Tracee was spotted getting extra cozy with her rumored beau, Bu Thiam. While Tracee has remained relatively silent over her relationship with Akon’s younger brother the VP of A&R at Def Jam, there was no denying it on Friday night at Reign Nightclub.
The Watch the Throne tour kicked off in Atlanta on Friday night with another sold out show on Saturday night. While Tracee, Bu and Kanye were having a good time, Jay-Z was noticeably absent. Is Beyonce’s growing baby bump curving his partying ways?
Check out some more pics at the party below.Happy Birthday Tracee!!
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
