Pop the Moet...it's a celebration b*tches! Nas partied it up with his long time friends (well frenemy where Jay-Z is concerned) down in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan last night at Bagatelle ahead of his Life Is Good album release. TheYBF.com was on the scene scoping out who made an appearance. Even though Beyonce decided to hide far away from the cameras, we've got pics (and a few Q/A's with Nas) of others inside....
The Moet Rose Lounge series hosted a private 50-person dinner & 200-person party at the newly opened Bagatelle last night in NYC. YBF was on the scene and caught up with Mr. Jones about his favorite track on his new album (it's "Reach Out" ft. Mary J Blige!) and his current status for the ladies (he's 100% SINGLE and beyond ready to mingle!).
Life Is Good is Nas' 10th studio album....and it's one of his hottest yet. So his homie Jay-Z was on hand to celebrate and take some shots, and they acted like true BFFs who have moved on from the past.
Jay's wife Beyonce was there too (but not pictured). Nas' manager Anthony Selah (pictured beow) was there with his homie, as well as Jermaine Dupri, Anthony Hamilton, Angie Martinez & more:
We spotted Bridget Kelly chillin' in VIP with her mentor Jay.
And she posted her own pic with Miguel. The "Adorn" singer has been working on his sophomore album...and he confirmed to us that it will indeed drop this September.
Adrienne Bailon & her "Empire Girls" co-star Julissa Bermudez partied it up with Angie Martinez.
G.O.O.D. Music chick Teyana Taylor rocked a cute zebra blazer, cigarette pants and two-tones pumps. She confirmed to TheYBF.com that her debut studio album is indeed on the way this August and she's been in the studio working hard with G.O.O.D. head honcho Kanye West.
