Urban Hollywood is in mourning today following tragic passing of actress Yvette Wilson – aged just 48.

Wilson, who made her name playing Andell on sitcoms ‘Moesha’ and ‘The Parkers’ had been battling cervical cancer, sadly succumbing early this morning.

Her passing sees her join the unfortunate list of  ‘Moesha’ talent’s whose lives were cut short entirely too soon. Lamont Bentley – who played Hakeem – died following a car crash in 2005, while Merlin Santana -who played recurring character Ohagi – was shot dead in 2002.

Our sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to Wilson’s family during this trying time.

While NeNe Leakes made a name for herself in the Urban diaspora by way of Bravo hit ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’, it was her stint on season 11 of Celebrity Apprentice which saw the mainstream mass sit up and pay attention.

But, some may not know of his oft-under praised duets with singing co-stars.

On the heels of today’s ‘Lemme See’ video release (which features Rick Ross) and news the singer was set to duet with the late Amy Winehouse shortly before her death, That Grape Juice looks to salute Ush’s smoother musical couplings with some of R&B’s leading divas – Beyonce, Brandy, Alicia Keys, and Omarion.  Get into old favorites and new acquaintances below:
