Hello World,

I’ve always loved reporting baby news, but since my own babies were born earlier this year, I especially love reporting baby news now! After all of the fertility treatment (I’m a witness) Adrienne Bailon, former co-host of the new defunct television program “The Real,” received, Adrienne, who is 38 years old, is finally a mother…See her jubilant post below…

Ever James has his own IG account  @everjames although nothing has been posted yet…Additionally, Adrienne has a new tattoo dedicated to her son, which she revealed in her IG story…

While Ever James, born through a surrogate, is the first child of Adrienne and Israel, her husband does have children from a previous relationship…

Congrats to the happy couple! Welcome to the World Ever James!

Hello World,

Last month, in celebration of Juneteenth, Billboard Music Award-winning music collective Maverick City Music released their newest project, Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition. The new album is a dual-side feature consisting of a live produced gospel A-Side and a Rap/R&B/Pop produced B-Side. Jubilee features a wide range of guest artists, including heavy-hitters from gospel, R&B, Pop and Rap: Ciara, Rapsody, Tamar Braxton, Jonathan McReynolds, Israel Houghton, Jekalyn Carr, and more. As with other Maverick City Music releases, the collective continues to impress as the new album Peaked at #1 on Apple iTunes. The collective currently claims 4 No.1 spots on Billboard’s Christian/Gospel charts – Gospel Digital Song Sales, Top Christian Albums, Gospel Streaming Songs, Top Gospel Albums, Christian/Gospel charts – solidifying Maverick City Music’s impact on the music industry.

“I am a huge fan of Maverick City Music so it was an honor to be asked to be part of the song “On and on.” We love praising and worshiping to their songs in our house with our kiddos. The mission for the song is to inspire, encourage, and spread the love so it was really special to be part of this project, especially in celebration of Juneteenth as the date became recognized as a national holiday,” said Ciara.

“These lessons that I’ve learned in this year about my struggles and hardships make me feel so much closer and connected to my ancestors and guides…Being a close child of God I understand that one of my responsibilities is to always give God the glory and praise that he is due FIRST….I’m always so glad to do so. Thank you to @maverickcitymusic for having me a part of this project,” said Tamar Braxton.

“All humanity should celebrate defeating the odds and upholding the truth that we are all made with infinite worth and deserve the freedom to be all we are called to be. This album is a soundtrack to that celebration,” said Lecrae.

Maverick City Music recently made headlines for their Top Gospel Album Billboard Music Award win for the April 2020 release of Maverick City Vol. 3 Part 1. The group earned double nods in the category and was also a finalist for Top Gospel Artist. Their newest release Old Church Basement, a collab album with Elevation Worship, broke streaming records at both Apple Music and Spotify. On Apple Music, the group set a new worldwide record for the most first-day streams for a Christian and Gospel album, and on Spotify, the album broke the U.S. record for the most streams in a day for an album by a Christian group and was No. 4 out of all U.S. albums its first weekend of release.

This upcoming fall, Maverick City Music will embark on its first-ever tour and the shows will feature electrifying performances with collective members Dante Bowe, Chandler Moore, Naomi Raine, Joe L. Barnes, Aaron Moses and special guests, including Lecrae, on certain dates. The group recently added 13 more tour dates after selling out their original 11.

Hello World,

On Saturday, my husband and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary! I love him more now than I did when I married him on August 10, 2013. On our anniversary, we also attended the wedding of dear friends. And then on Sunday, we officially celebrated our anniversary since we had no other commitments other than church. It was a weekend bookended by love. My husband and I and our friends weren’t the only ones who celebrated our marriages this weekend. Gospel singer Israel Houghton and his wife Adrienne Bailon, who is a co-host on “The Real” also celebrated their third “askiversary” on Aug. 11.

Israel posted a beautiful Instagram message to commemorate this special date. See below…

That is sooo sweet that Israel and his wife Adrienne, in addition to their wedding anniversary, also honor the day that they proposed to one another! But one of Israel’s followers, instead of posting a congratulatory message or saying nothing at all, chose to question the fact that they have yet to have children together. See the rude post AND Israel’s response below…

I agree Israel…Don’t ask a woman about her age, her weight and the status of her uterus unless you know her like that. You don’t know if they have issues that prevent them from having a child or even if they have decided to not have children altogether. Either way, it’s their business to tell or not tell.  Lastly, I’m glad he found classy words to defend his wife as even he tells Tyson to find his own “good thing/wife.”

What say you?
