TLC had an eventful weekend on June 8 & 9, 2024 in their home town of Atlanta, GA. It was full of surprises and it gave the ladies their chance to truly receive their flowers.

Kicking off the festivities on Saturday June 8, TLC ventured down to the Stockbridge Amphitheater for a 30th anniversary celebration of their timeless sophomore album, 1994’s ‘CrazySexyCool‘.

T-Boz and Chilli were reunited with some of their Dungeon Family in the form of Goodie Mob, who were supporting TLC at the show. 90’s girl group Brownstone were also in the house and opened up the show.

TLC put on an high-energy performance with their back-to-back hits, and added some deep cuts including, “Case of the Fake People,” “Hat 2 da Back” and “Silly Ho.”

One of the highlights of the show was T-Boz bringing her niece Bella Sky on stage to sing an adorable duet of “Unpretty” with her, before the legends belted out their final two cuts at the end of the show, “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls”, the latter which brought the crowd to their feet as Left Eye‘s original rap vocals echoed throughout the stage.

Before the night ended, Stockbridge Mayor Anthony Ford declared June 8 as a national TLC day holiday in Atlanta! He issued the ladies with the Stockbridge City Proclamation, whilst Atlanta City councilman Byron Amos issued the ladies the Proclamation from the City of Atlanta!

The second day of the celebrations continued on Sunday June 9, where TLC were honorees of the 5th annual Black Music Mogul brunch, at the Gathering Spot.

T-Boz was unable to attend the event, but Chilli was entertained by a plethora of entertainers performing TLC tributes. A stand out performance of “Waterfalls” by Maliibu Miitch and Jai’Len Josey almost brought tears to Chilli’s eyes.

TLC were honored with the Eternal Harmony Award, followed by an award from music streaming service Pandora, recognizing “Waterfalls” receiving more than one billion streams on their platform, awarded by Joshua “J1” Raiford.

TLC also received honorary Doctorate of Philosophy degrees in Musicology, awarded by Dr. Jacqueline Mohair from Trinity International University of Ambassadors in Duluth, who graced the ladies with their new titles, Dr. Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Dr. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins.



In addition to the doctorates, TLC were also awarded with the 2024 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.



Reigndrop Lopes, the younger sister of the late, great Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, was also in attendance at the event and received the honors on her sister’s behalf after the ceremony.

This is not a drill! Funko are set to release a new line of TLC styled vinyl Pop! Rocks later this year!

According to Amazon, the release will be a 3-pack set with each TLC member, T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli, styled from their iconic music video, 1999’s “No Scrubs“.

Currently, there aren’t any options to purchase the TLC members individually, so fans will have to purchase the full 3-pack set, which retails at $35.99 or £29.99 in the UK.


Amazon description, Hip hop group, TLC, is here to take the stage in your music collection! Jam out with Pop! T-Boz, Pop! Left Eye, and Pop! Chilli. This 3-pack features the band members from their hit song “No Scrubs.”

The first set of TLC Funko vinyl figures were initially scheduled for release in 2020, but after a lengthy delay they were eventually released early 2021 in the style of the iconic TLC music video, 1995’s “Waterfalls.” They also came with a translucent set of rare chase editions for those lucky collectors.

Funko were quick to follow-up the debut TLC Funko’s with a release of TLC figures in 2021 based on their debut single, 1992’s “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg“.

Funko decided to gift TLC fans again in February 2022, with another TLC release. This time, Funko gave TLC the Funko Gold treatment, a set of miniature 5-inch figures, also based on the superb “Waterfalls” video.

Last year saw TLC enter the Funko Pop! Albums market in 2023. Funko made a stunning set based on TLC’s debut album, 1992’s ‘Ooooooohhh… on the TLC tip‘, complete with the original album cover in a stunning hard plastic sealed frame, perfect for wall display.

The release of the latest TLC figures from the ‘Fanmail‘ era has been a long time coming, with fans demanding for it to happen over the years. Some even resorted to having custom figures created.

What are your thoughts on the TLC “No Scrubs” Funko figures?

Left Eye’s ‘Supernova’ Album Will Be Released to Streaming Platforms ‘When The Time Is Right’, Says Her Sister Reigndrop Lopes

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy Leave a comment

This week marks 22 years since the tragic passing of the iconic, trendsetting and the center of TLC, the dearly beloved Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.

It is an annual tradition for TLC and Left Eye fans to request the release of the debut solo album of Left Eye, ‘Supernova‘, to streaming platforms, on her birthday. And this was no different on the 22nd anniversary of her passing.

To put things into perspective, Left Eye’s album was partially released in 2001, excluding the United States after a lackluster reception to her solo single, “The Block Party“.

Following the tragic loss of Left Eye in April 2002, the future of her solo career was left in limbo, and the rights to her material were put on hold.

The Lopes family had released a tribute album in 2009 via Mass Appeal in the form of ‘Eye Legacy‘ — a compilation of remixed tracks taken from her original album, ‘Supernova’.

Left Eye’s posthumous album, ‘Eye Legacy’ (2009)

‘Eye Legacy’ received mixed reviews, and the majority of fans preferred to have the original album released in its entirety, the way in which Left Eye would have wanted. ‘Supernova’ was a body of work that she was proud of, and it should be kept intact and released to honor her wishes.

Left Eye’s younger sister, Reigndrop Lopes, finally gained control and ownership of the masters for the original ‘Supernova’ album in 2021. Fans have been excited at the news, and Reigndrop hinted that she may release the album on the date Lisa initially wanted it to be released on, August 16.

However, three years have passed since the announcement, and the album has yet to be seen on any streaming platforms. “My family own Lisa’s masters, so you don’t have to go to anyone else to ask them to put it out on streaming”, Reigndrop said in 2021.

“We’re working on it, we’re working on a lot of other stuff, so just be patient. Timing is everything, it’s going to come out when it’s supposed to come out. Just know that your voices are being heard and we’re working on it. A lot of things are happening at the same time which is overwhelming, so we have to pace it out. But it will be out, I promise”.

“We’re working to release ‘Supernova’ to streaming on the date that she originally wanted her album to be released”, Reigndrop announced in 2022. “And if you’re a real fan you already know what the date is, so I don’t have to say it”. Although she added that “plans can change”, she was adamant that,”That date meant something to Lisa, so we’re going to stick to that”.

When questioned about the topic of the album release in 2024, Reigndrop decided to clear the air and make it clear that nothing was set in stone. “Life happens and no promises were made!”, Reigndrop states. “Rest assured, it will be released at the right time. Sometimes things don’t happen when you want them to, but when they need to”.

So, the bottom line is, the album will be released on streaming platforms when the time is right. Reigndrop teased details of a Left Eye biopic in the works in 2022, and that she was working with executive producer Grammy and Oscar winning Elizabeth Hubbard.

The Lopes family will be hosting their first ever annual Left Eye Wellness Expo and birthday party on Sunday, May 26, 2024 to honor Lisa’s memory and legacy.

The location will be at The Atrium, 5479 Memorial Dr. Stone Mountain, GA 30083.
