OneOf has announced a TLC: Lookin’ Like Glass genesis NFT collection. The series launches with a free green-tier CrazySexyCool NFT which gives holders one entry into a very exciting sweepstakes for crypto and TLC fans alike!

If you go by pure chart success, the “it” girl group of the 90s, TLC, would be a contender for the “best girl group of all time.” If you go by sales, they are, in fact, the biggest. Their iconic song, “No Scrubs” released on February 2, 1999, set the tone for nearly all future women empowerment anthems to come.

After it launched, it quickly secured the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 for four weeks and stayed on the charts for months. Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas just knew it was going to be a hit because even though the term “scrub” was regional, the idea was universal.

“A scrub is just a bum guy, you know? You don’t want to bring him home…” she shares.

Now in 2022, TLC hits Web3 as one of the headlining performances at VeeCon 2022. What’s more, in collaboration with OneOf, TLC brings to you their genesis NFT collection, “Lookin’ Like Glass”. The collection comprises a free green-tiered NFT that will give holders a chance to win a pair of tickets to VeeCon 2022 in Minneapolis, May 19th-22nd.

TLC will be performing their headline set at VeeCon 2022 on Friday May 20th.

The free green-tier NFT will be available to claim from now until Sunday May 22nd, 11.59pm EST.

A winner will be selected on May 10th, so act fast!

On May 20th, 2022, to celebrate TLC’s performance at VeeCon, the remainder of the collection will drop with gold, platinum and diamond editions that will grant holders ownership of a percentage of the master streaming royalty rights for the band’s re-recording of “No Scrubs”, “Waterfalls”, and “Creep”. The NFTs will also come with chances to win TLC VIP concert tickets, signed posters, zoom parties, and more.

OneOf was designed specifically to create an environmentally sustainable, artist-and-fan-friendly experience. Built on the Tezos blockchain protocol, minting a NFT on OneOf’s platform uses two million times less energy than other proof-of-work networks. Dedicated to charitable causes, OneOf offers artists using their platform the option to donate portions of their NFT proceeds to charities of their choice.

After the cancellation of select shows earlier this month, T-Boz this week has confirmed that the remaining dates of the ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool’ tour will also be rescheduled at a later date in 2022, to allow her to continue her viral infection recovery.

T-Boz took to her Instagram on Oct 19 to make the announcement to her loyal fans, who were hoping to see TLC in action on Oct 21, 26 and 30.

“Hey Guys Thx 4 All The Prayers And Love!!! I Hate 2 Say… But…. We had to announce we are rescheduling the 3 remaining dates on the ‘2021 Celebration of Crazy Sexy Cool’ tour to allow me to fully recover from a viral infection”, T-Boz said in her statement.

“We hate to disappoint our fans in Tampa, FL  Auburn, WA and Worley ID; but considering our rigorous tour schedule, doctors have advised me to take the necessary time off for my body to heal”, T-Boz explained. “We look forward to rescheduling these dates in 2022 to give fans our signature TLC experience”.

No word on if Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will continue to be on the tour with them in 2022, but we’ll keep you posted!

We continue our well wishes and prayers for T-Boz’s continued recovery.

In the meantime, check out the highlights from the tour so far!

TLC Cancel Remaining Dates on ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool’ tour

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy 1 Comment

It is with great sadness to reveal that TLC have had to cancel the remaining handful of dates on the ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool‘ tour this year, so that T-Boz is given the adequate time to heal and recover from a viral infection she had developed whilst on the road.

Last week we reported that TLC had postponed and successfully rescheduled two of their tour dates in Texas. Unfortunately, the reshuffling of those dates meant that there were too many dates to perform at back-to-back.

T-Boz requires tour dates to be strategically spaced out in order to get the right amount of rest between shows, to prevent any complications with her Sickle Cell Anemia.

Although the girls had every intention to continue the tour, Chilli announced on Oct 7 that they were unable to perform in San Diego that night, as T-Boz suffered “a relapse in recovery from a recent viral infection”, Chilli said in a statement on her socials.

However, tonight on Oct 8 the girls announced the cancellation of the remaining two dates in LA on the tour. “T-Boz is currently recovering from a viral infection, but unable to perform this weekend”, TLC said in a statement. “While we hate to disappoint TLC fans, the collective health of our team takes precedence”.

The statement goes on to thank the dedicated fans for the “outpouring of love we’ve received since the tour began, and can’t wait to get back on the road to see fans next year”.

TLC have been having a blast on this tour, receiving rave reviews from critics and surprising fans with performances of songs they have never performed before, and keeping the shows fresh with a set of new dancers, remixes and the inclusion of the funky DJ Dubz, who keeps the party moving.

The second leg of the tour will continue in 2022, including rescheduling previously cancelled dates that have been affected this year.

We wish T-Boz a safe and healthy recovery. Take all the time you need to feel better. You have all our love, understanding and support, Now & Forever!

UPDATE: The two dates still happening are:

OCT 21
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa
Tampa, FL

OCT 26
Muckleshoot Casino Resort
Auburn, WA

TLC Forced To Postpone CrazySexyCool Tour Dates Due To T-Boz’s Allergic Reaction to Smoke

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy 1 Comment

TLC were forced to reschedule some of the dates on their current ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool’ tour on Oct 2, after revealing that T-Boz had been suffering from an allergic reaction to the recreational smoking that had taken place backstage at a previous show in Belton, TX on Sept 30.

As a result, their shows in Texas on Oct 2 and Oct 3 were rescheduled to Oct 4 and Oct 5, respectively. However, due to the rescheduling of the Houston and Dallas dates, their tour buses and trucks are not logistically able to make the performance at the Mesa Amphitheatre in Arizona on time. Therefore, they are unfortunately forced to cancel the show on Oct 6.

In a statement, TLC posted, “Due to extreme cigarette and recreational smoke being present backstage at a previous show, T-Boz suffered an allergic reaction. The group has always enforced a strict no smoking policy at their shows in an effort to prevent any health related issues for the group and/or crew.”

Chilli insists that although the Arizona date is now cancelled, that it will indeed be rescheduled at a later date. “Arizona fans we love you and will be back soon!”, they said in a statement.

TLC’s show on Oct 30 at the Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon has also been cancelled. All current ticket holders will receive a refund within 14 business days.

Exposure to the toxins in cigarettes is very dangerous for T-Boz because she has Sickle Cell Anemia. The disease itself comes with an increased risk of pulmonary abnormality due to deoxygenated hemoglobin, and cigarette smoke only increases the chances of severe illness. 

The remaining dates on the tour will go ahead as planned, so fans wishing to attend can still get tickets at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com

Please ensure you refrain from smoking whilst in attendance to the shows.

TLC are being supported by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony on this tour.

Wishing TLC a continued healthy tour. Glad to see T-Boz was able to attend the show tonight in Houston, TX at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land. Check them out in the clip below:
