“This is really surreal to me, I used to be a writer for the Soul Train Awards,” said Cole. “I wrote for Wendy Williams and Erykah Badu when they hosted. To go from writer to host is really a big deal.”

While there the Bravo shade assassin who recently dropped a bomb on Ashley Darby shared some “reading tips” with BOSSIP.
“You have to be well-read, I think education and going to the library and reading a book or two will help with the reads,” said Candiace. “You also have to listen, when people are trying to come at you crazy, you can poke holes in their story and come from there,” she added noting that other areas to focus on include grammar, aura, and energy. “You just have to find the space for the read and go there.”
Other red carpet looks that turned heads included LeToya Luckett and Reginae Carter who both donned jewel tones…
