The entire VMA Weekend in New York City was insane, but nothing was as crazy as the official after-parties! I was fortunate enough to be able to see it all firsthand, and Jay Z and Diddy’s rooftop party at The Dream Hotel was INSANE! It was a who’s who in there of the biggest names in music and entertainment from Diddy, Hov, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel, Cassie, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, Macklemore, Kevin Hart, Memphis Bleek, Rihanna, Drake, J. Cole…the list goes on!

Now the major question of the night is the interaction between Rihanna and Drake. At first the pair were at tables next to each other, but they themselves weren’t actually interacting. Rihanna took it outside to the patio after a while, with Drizzy staying inside at the table. As the lights came on and everyone filtered out, both parties were still there, but on totally opposite sides of the room. Not sure if that was to fake everyone out and they’d eventually link up after, but that’s what I saw. Check out some photos from the night in the gallery! Good times!
