Yandy Smith, Kimbella Party; Chrissy Lampkin Launches Jacket Line

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Love & Hip Hop stars Yandy Smith, Kimbella and their respective boyfriends Mandeecees and Juelz Santana partied together while Chrissy Lampkin and Emily B hosted a launch party for their jacket line.

First, Yandy and Kimbella who both gave birth to a baby boy and girl respectively stepped away from mommy duties to let their hair down and party.

Kimbella proudly showed off her post baby body in a gray bandeau top showing off her midriff and a long blue maxi skirt. Yandy chose to cover up then again she’s not promoting a workout video like Kimbella. The group which included Kimbella’s off and on-again boyfriend Juelz Santana were at NYC’s La Marina.

In the same city on a different night former Love and Hip Hop stars Chrissy Lampkin and Emily B put their fashion sense to good use. Reportedly VH1 cameras were rolling to capture scenes for Chrissy and Emily’s separate spin-off show. A private launch party was held for ‘Cisum Couture’ a line of men’s leather jackets founded by the ladies and an additional partner. Others in attendance included Chrissy’s fiance Jim Jones, Mama Jones, Beyone’s stylist Ty Hunter and Adrienne Bailon.

No date has been set for the premiere of spinoff shows though it should be interesting.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
