Vesta Williams was a dynamic singer in the 1980′s and along with many other female R&B/Soul singers of that era. She will be truly missed. We pray for her family and loved ones at this time of her passing.
Vesta Williams, the 80′s diva known for her powerful voice, was found dead in her California hotel room last night, according to reports. Though news sources have reported the singer was 48 years old, Williams can be seen in a 2010 interview saying she was 53.
Her cause of death remains unknown at this time.
Williams scored a big hit with “Congratulations,” a song about a woman who is distraught upon learning that her former lover is getting married. “Congratulations,” with its vocal acrobatics and dramatic story, became a talent show staple.
“…just received truly devastating news: R&B great, and my friend of many yrs, Vesta Williams (@vesta4u), has passed away. #RIPVesta”
In the 1990s, Williams made headlines for her dramatic weight loss. She told Ebony that she started to rapidly gain weight when her singing career began to falter. Williams, who was 5-foot-3, eventually reached a size 26. She said her size was the reason she lost her recording contract.
“When I lost my record deal and my phone wasn’t ringing, I realized that I had to reassess who Vesta was and figure out what was going wrong,” she said. “I knew it wasn’t my singing ability. So it had to be that I was expendable because I didn’t have the right look.”
The singer went on to lose 100 lbs, and got down down to a size 6, while finding something of a second career as a songwriter and session singer.
In recent years, Williams had become an advocate for the prevention of childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes.

According to a very accurate source Foxy Brown the popular female rapper in the 90’s and probably one of the 5 greatest female Emcees of all time has come out and made some shocking allegations about Jay-z. Now I must say before you read this story this has not been proven but I can’t lie I have heard stories very similiar to this about Jay in the past. Remember Foxy Brown? Well she’s made some shocking allegations about Jay Z that will blow your mind! Now, many music insiders are calling the 90′s female rapper crazy…but we’re leaving it to you to decide. Buss this… Foxy Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, has revealed that her ticket to rap success came at a price — and that it all happened while she was underage. She says the man who put her on to the rap game, Jay Z (then 27-years-old), took her virginity when she was just 15-years-old — adding Hova (who she says has a ‘horse dick’) funded her shopping trips and pampering at hair and nail salons w...
Well look at who we found! It’s “Doughboy” from “Boyz N Da Hood!” Remember him? If you’ve seen the movie, how could you forget him right? He was the lil’ dude who played the kid version of rapper, Ice Cube’s character and one of his most memorable on-screen exchanges was the one between he and his brother, “Ricky” over a girl they were both crushing on: Doughboy: “That’s my lady, homie, her name is Brandy.” Ricky: “Man, she ain’t your woman, she my woman.” Doughboy: “How can she be your woman, when she my lady?” Mind you they were only about 10 and 11 years old when they were saying those lines, LOL. Today at 36 years old, “Doughboy” has chosen a completely different path in life and we thought it was quite interesting. After “Boyz N Da Hood,” Baha Jackson went on to have a small role in “Poetic Justice.” I know what you’re thinking, none of us over here were able to remember him in that movie either, so we actually had to go back and re-watch it to see what role he ...
