Tiffany Pollard, best known as New York, styles and profiles a-front of the new issue of Paper magazine.

The stunning spread comes ahead of the much anticipated ‘I Love New York’ reunion, which airs November 23 on VH1.

Nigeria’s own Burna Boy returned to the historic Brixton Academy two years after his triumphant sold-out 2018 show. And this time, it was to stage a special spectacle in partnership with tech innovators MelodyVR.

Backed by his full band The Outsiders, the African Giant peppered the stage with hits from new album ‘Twice As Tall.’

Turbo-charged with energy, the star thrilled with flavoursome jams such as ‘Real Life,’ ‘Monsters You Made.’ and ‘Wetin Dey Sup.’

Elsewhere, Burna blazed with much-loved bangers from the GRAMMY-nominated and critically acclaimed ‘African Giant’ LP. These included ‘On The Low,’ ‘Killen Dem’ and rousing anthem ‘Anybody.’

Classics ‘Ye’ and ‘Soke’ also added to what was an unmissable set.

Ever one to use his platform for potent causes, the star – born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu – delivered an impassioned rendition of ’20 10 20,’ which addresses the Lekki Massacre and the #EndSARS protests.

Throughout, the interactiveness of MelodyVR (which allowed “attendees” to toggle angles and more) brought the action closer than ever before. A reality Burna’s legions of fans no doubt appreciated, after
scheduled performances at Glastonbury, Wireless, and a planned tour were paused.

Perhaps resonant was how much of a testament Burna’s show was to the possibilities embedded in the virtual show format. Especially in the current climate.

Zendaya stuns a-front of ESSENCE’s November + December issue!

The star, who also covers three additional digital covers of the publication, is riding high after winning Best Lead Actress In A Drama at the 2020 Primetime Emmys for her much-lauded performance in HBO series ‘Euphoria.’

And while the triumph would have some resting on their laurels, the 24-year-old is instead using the elevation to shine light on important causes. Namely how much more still needs to be done to dissolve inequality in Hollywood – and in society at large.

As such, beyond posing for the stunning feature spread (lensed by AB+DM), Zendaya opens up about the circle of support she’s received from Black women, the social impact of Beyonce’s lyrics, and more.

Pics and quotes await after the jump…
