T-Boz Surprises Her Ex Mr. Dalvin on Stage at Jodeci Concert For His Birthday

It felt like it was the 90’s all over again at the Stockbridge Amphitheater in the state of Georgia on July 21, and it wasn’t just because one of the greatest R&B groups of the 90’s, Jodeci, were performing for two nights at the iconic venue.

There was something else that made this night extra special. The gorgeous T of TLC made a special guest appearance during the Jodeci concert, which was a weekend-long concert alongside the legendary Johnny Gill and R&B group Silk.

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins took to the stage to present her former beau and lifelong friend, Dalvin “Mr. Dalvin” DeGrate, with a stunning custom cake to celebrate his birthday, which was coming a few days later on July 23.

T-Boz greeted Mr. Dalvin and K-Ci Hailey on stage, (Jodeci members Jojo Hailey and Devanté DeGrate were not present) and then proceeded to serenade the birthday guy with a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday“, with support from the crowd and the Jodeci band, including guitarist Mykal Curtis, who is commonly known for being a regular in TLC’s band when they go on tour.

Mr. Dalvin took to his Instagram on his birthday to thank T-Boz for her kind gesture, and hilariously included TLC’s “Creep” as the soundtrack to the post.

For added context, T-Boz broke up with Mr. Dalvin back in the day due to his promiscuity during their relationship, and the TLC song “Creep” is about a cheating partner, although it wasn’t about their relationship in particular.

“Thank you, T-Boz, for surprising me on stage with one of the most creative bday cakes I’ve ever seen,” Mr. Dalvin said. “It’s rare to find someone u can call a real friend no matter what the situation was … we are friends for life”, before adding “… that song tho”, along with laughing emoji’s.

T-Boz joined in the comments and said, “The song though!!! Always Got U!!!” Mr. Dalvin replied, saying, “u ain’t right lol,” and T-Boz hit right back and said, “u chose it! u so funny, haaaaa love it, though.” Mr. Dalvin concluded the chat with “I wonder why [I chose that song]” with some humorous emoji’s.

Last month, the couple labeled themselves as ‘Batman and Robin‘ when they reunited to say that they had something exciting to announce, which has yet to be revealed.

T-Boz and Mr. Dalvin have the cutest friendship. They are the living proof that you can grow closer to ex partners after a break-up and can get along better as friends.

However, time will tell if our favourite couple from the 90’s will ever rekindle the flame one day!

T-Boz Reunites with Jodeci’s Mr. Dalvin to Tease Upcoming Project

If it feels like 1995 to some of you all over again, that may be due to the fact that our former favorite R&B power couple – Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins of TLC, and Dalvin “Mr. Dalvin” DeGrates of Jodeci – are still as close as ever, three decades since they parted ways in the 90’s.

The self-proclaimed “dynamic duo” are still good friends, and have remained close friends for many years. The two music legends reignited some excitement amongst fans when they simultaneously posted a video on their social media to announce that they were ‘coming back’.

On June 14, T-Boz and Mr. Dalvin showed the world how much chemistry they still have, as they playfully decided that they were like ‘Batman and Robin’.

“We’ve got something coming — Dalvin — T-Boz — you already know what it is”, Mr. Dalvin said in the video. T-Boz co-signed the statement and said, “Frick and Frack, Frack and Frick! We’re back, y’all!”

The duo did not confirm what the reunion would be about, whether it was music related, a tour, or something else.

T-Boz and Mr. Dalvin’s last public outing together was back in 2022, when T-Boz stopped by at the Culture Tour, when the show touched down in Savannah, GA to show some love and support to her performing friends, including Jodeci.

T-Boz said she was doing good, to which Mr Dalvin hilariously replied, “you’ve been without me, that’s why you’ve been good!”, leaving T-Boz laughing hysterically.

T-Boz and Mr. Dalvin were in a relationship during the 90’s and were considered the ultimate couple during their time together. T-Boz even made a cameo in the Jodeci video, 1995’s “Love U 4 Life“, posing as Mr. Dalvin’s wife during the marriage ceremony.

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.

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy Leave a comment

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?
