Ultimate 90’s music fans had their dreams answered this week!
Goldenvoice is bringing together some of hip-hop and R&B’s greatest for its inaugural Lovers & Friends Festival. The one-day fest will take place on Saturday, May 9 at the Grounds at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. boasting an all-star lineup of past and present.
The legendary TLC are among the headliners, alongside former Fugees frontwoman, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Usher. The latter will also be joined by his “Lovers and Friends” collaborators Ludacris and Lil Jon.
After a rocky initial announcement on Tuesday 18th February, with artists Lil’ Kim, Ma$e and Twista all denouncing the event as ‘fake’, confusing thousands of fans in the process, the show will indeed go ahead as scheduled and the misunderstandings now appear to have been rectified.
Snoop Dogg, who is one of the organizers of the event, personally reached out to Lil’ Kim to let her and the world know that this is a real event, and that he wants her to get in touch to be a part of something special. “Get at your folks on DM, so we can get you this money. You dig?”, Snoop finishes his shout out to Lil’ Kim via his Instagram.
The nostalgic bill also includes rap legends Nelly, Foxy Brown, Eve, Trina, Ja Rule, Fat Joe, and Sean Paul, as well as R&B powerhouses like Brandy, Monica, 112, Ginuwine, Montell Jordan and SWV.
They will be joined by recent acts including Jhené Aiko, Summer Walker, Megan Thee Stallion, and Saweetie.
