Jada Pinkett, Chris Paul & Trey Songz Toast Women At Essence Fest

Jul 05 | by Natasha

Despite the absolute pandemonium at the Carol's Daughter pop up store Saturday afternoon in New Orleans, YBF folks turned out for a fabulous event and toast for women. Trey Songz, Chris Paul, and Jada Pinkett Smith literally shut down the store (cops came through and regulated the insane crowd) with 2 blocks full of fans going nuts outside the doors.

More pics sans the panty flying at Tremaine when you read on...

Carol's Daughter founder Lisa Price posed with owner Steve Stoute and Trey's manager Kevin Liles. She kicked it with Trey and Chris as well.

A few pics of the fandemonium:

T.I. made a surprise appearance and made folks go bananas:

Cuties.

Tameka Raymond came out to support and looked nice at the event.

Chris Paul (who brought his baby mama Jayda) kicked it with Lisa.

Trey signed autographs for all his fans.

Cops eventually let the event go on when Jada showed up:

She looked flawless. Love seeing YBF folks support YBF owned businesses. Fab times indeed.

Jada Pinkett is only nice

Jada Pinkett is only nice looking to yall because she is a Celebrity. What are looks anyway? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Tameka Raymond is simply beautiful, she has nice features, great skin, and a nice body. I saw her in New Orleans during the Essence Fest and was shocked and surprised at how gorgeous she was. I know she tried to have lipo and almost died, but I read an interview and it never happened, so thats fine, she still is strikingly gorgeous especially in person. Haters go sit down, he married her, stop tripping over it. K thanks bye.

IDK why people are lying..

IDK why people are lying.. Tameka is fugly as hell. She looks like a man. That sweated out weave is NOT what's up. Dark skinned or not, she's not cute. Beauty comes in all shades but unfortunately Tameka just does not have it. Jada's body is on point but something is off about her face. She was aging so beautifully.. whatever she's doing she needs to stop.

Tameka is not just pretty, shes GORGEOUS. That girl is stunning. I saw her in New Orleans and she is darn pretty! Jada looks good but hard and dike-like. You are the typical Tameka hater but I can defend because she really gorgeous and has a great demeanor.

If you are going to launch a new store, THIS is the way to do it. I like some of CD products, but Ms Lisa is going to have to do something about keeping ish in stock. Nothing more frustrating than trying to buy my products and they never have it.

Keep in mind, her products

Keep in mind, her products are made from scratch, I think manufacturing these products would not be the same. Obviously Lisa feels the same way, cuz otherwise she would have done this a long time ago!!

I love Jada and think she's beautiful, so there's really no need to take this the wrong way - her skin always looks (to me) like a very tanned white skin, not so much black. Must be the bronzer, I guess.

Short little, dirty looking, no-style having dudes = sexy??? Yikes. I miss the days where celebrities actually looked like they washed their a$$es and put on some decent clothes before they walked out the door. These guys (Trey and T.I.) look busted.

Who says Usher's fans

Who says Usher's fans couldn't accept Tameka because she was darker? She said that. If he would've been with Gab Union, they wouldn't have had a problem. Not that it really matters because Usher should make his own choices and stand by them(who cares about fans? Celebs only owe their best work possible to fans, nothing more nothing less), but maybe some fans had beef with how he got with her, or maybe she wasn't pretty enough for them or maybe it was her age. Had he gotten with older women like Nia Long or Gabrielle who are beautiful chocolate sisters then I don't think much would have been said. But who lives their lives for fans? Who does that?

You are absolutely right. Had

You are absolutely right. Had she been lovely like Nia or Gabby or Chilli no one would have thought a thing about it. And if he chose her to be his wife then he should have had the balls to stand by his choice. However, pretty much all entertainers live their lives for public approval. If not you wouldn't have so many famous people living "secret lives".

Now that he has done his time and appears to be back on top of the world the real "BOY" comes back out. Come on TI and I understand staying true to who you are but grow up and be a man!!! You are in a situation to be a positive person in our young black men lives if you care about your people use that to your advantage!!!

I don't know that Ursher fans couldn't accept Tameka because she is darker. Chilli is darker also--but she is quite pretty to look at. Looking at the pics from this event, I am again struck by how masculine Tameka's features are. She simply is not great to look at it. Harsh, but true.
