After turning heads in 2021 with one of last year’s most talked about festive flicks, ‘Hip Hop Family Christmas,’ VH1 is looking to do the same this holiday season with ‘Hip Hop Family Christmas‘ – the sequel to the Ne-Yo and Keri Hilson-led film.

In addition to reassembling all of the major characters from the original’s star-studded cast like Serayah, Terrence J, MC Lyte, and Redman, ‘Christmas Wedding’ adds Urban superstars Cassie, Bow Wow, and many others to the list.

Ahead of its November 30 premiere, see the movie’s action-packed trailer inside.

Fans of Ne-Yo and Serayah have seen a lot of the actor-singers together over the last year.

Before tapping the former ‘Empire’ star to play in his music video for the stirring single, ‘Don’t Love Me’ (as we reported here), the two were leading cast members of VH1’s 2021 holiday film, ‘A Hip-Hop Christmas.’

In the spirit of the latter the dynamic duo reunite once more, this time for the BET+ yuletide flick ‘The Sound of Christmas’ which tells the story of “a down-on-her-luck music teacher who leads a wealthy widower away from his gold-digging girlfriend and back to love and music during the Christmas holidays.”

Directed by Booker T. Mattison, ‘Sound’ also stars actress-reality TV personality Draya Michele. Peep its official trailer inside.

Ne-Yo is hot on the promotional trail for his new studio album ‘Self Explanatory.’

The GRAMMY winner’s latest stop was Drink Champs with Noreaga and co.

During the lengthy visit, the singer-songwriter poured out a whole lot of candid conversation that spanned both the personal and the professional.

Indeed, Ne-Yo dished on his journey, mega collaborations, and his initial separation from wife Crystal Smith (who has since filed for divorce amidst claims that the crooner fathered a child with another woman).

The end of Ne-Yo‘s marriage to Crystal Smith is proving explosive.

For, not only has his wife of six years formally filed for divorce – she’s claiming he fathered a child out of wedlock.

Crystal Smith is making it crystal clear that she’s done with her husband Ne-Yo.

Just three months after the couple renewed their wedding vows, the actress/model slammed the GRAMMY-winning singer in an explosive social media post.

Within it, she hurled several accusations of infidelity at the performer – including allegations that he slept with “numerous women….unprotected.”

Ne-Yo has unlocked his eighth studio album ‘Self Explanatory.’

Preceded by singles such as ‘U 2 Luv,’ ‘Stay Down,’ and ‘Don’t Love Me,’ the project serves as the hitmaker’s first traditional LP since 2018’s ‘Good Man.’

And he welcomes a number of notable names on the album with him – including the likes of Yung Bleu, Jeremih, and Trippie Redd.

With over 15 years in the game, Ne-Yo is showing no signs of slowing down.

With his anxiously awaited eighth studio album loading, Ne-Yo recently ramped up anticipation for the forthcoming set by giving fans another taste of the gems set to line its tracklist.

Gifting the video treatment to the new song ‘Don’t Love Me,’ the singer-songwriter tapped TV stars Tyler Lepley and Serayah to bring the tune’s heartbreaking lyrics to life via a cinematic black-and-white music video that seems to be inspired by 2020’s ‘Malcolm & Marie’ (John David Washington & Zendaya).

As the love interests struggle with their unhappy home, Ne-Yo narrates in the background – a dynamic he explains in detail via the official behind the scenes look at the making of the visual.
