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 superstar Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins stopped by at the Culture Tour on April 8, 2022 when the show touched down in Savannah, GA to show some love and support to her performing friends, New Edition, Charlie Wilson and Jodeci.

T-Boz was able to catch up with her ex-boyfriend, Jodeci’s Dalvin DeGrate aka Mr Dalvin whilst at the show. The pair have remained good friends over the years and are always supportive of each other.

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.

Fans of the couple are always excited when they reunite publicly. Their last sighting together was in 2018 when T-Boz stopped by at the R&B Rewind concert where Jodeci were performing.

During an interview with the Scoop B Radio Podcast in 2020, Mr Dalvin explained why he is still close to T-Boz. “I think it’s kind of like any breakup you have, you realise after you break up how good of friends you could have been. There are things that probably drove you apart that had nothing to do with either one of you”.

He went on to say that the distance bewteen them as well as other people having input in their relationship led to things going downhill. However, despite the relationship not working out, there are no hard feelings and they remain good friends to this day.

Were T-Boz & Mr Dalvin your favorite celebrity couple back in the day?

Doja Cat Inspired by TLC in Latest Music Video ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy 1 Comment

Doja Cat has seemingly paid some homage to the legendary TLC in the latest single to be lifted from her third studio album, ‘Planet Her‘. “Get Into It (Yuh)” went viral on TikTok, so Doja Cat finally released the music video on January 31, 2022.

In the intergalactic music video, directed by Mike Diva, Doja Cat is on a mission to rescue her pet cat and takes on some aliens! The video also features a cameo by the producer of the track, Y2K.

One of the scenes in the video has a striking resemblance to the iconic 1999 “No Scrubs” video, the lead single from TLC’s ‘FanMail‘ album. The futuristic elements of Doja Cat’s video match the TLC classic, as well as her hair and make-up, resembling T-Boz‘s look in the video.

Doja Cat’s hairstylist Jared Henderson seemed to confirm the comparisons to T-Boz when a fan mentioned to him that Doja Cat’s pink hairdo was giving him T-Boz vibes, and Jared pinned the comment on his post. Doja Cat’s make-up was done by Ernesto Casillas.

Doja Cat fans were quick to highlight the homage Doja Cat was paying to the trendsetters TLC, and they all approved of the music video.

Some fans even feel that Doja Cat’s moves are similar to the moves Left Eye does during the scenes when she performs her rap.
