I spotted music industry veteran Kevin Wales and his artist, R&B singer Demarious “D” Cole while dining with celebrity photog Prince Williams (of ATLPics.net) at the Shops at Buckhead in Atlanta on Sunday.
Cole, 16, is an up-and-coming R&B artist who is known locally for his hit song “Freak Like That” (see music video below). He has opened on tour for Chris Brown, Ludacris, Rich Homie Quan, and more.
Wales founded independent record label Worldwide Entertainment in the 1990s. Some of the bold name artists he signed includes Monica Brown, 112, Jagged Edge, Faith Evans and boy band B5.
Wale’s artists were signed to Sean “Puffy” Combs through WWE’s distribution deal with Bad Boy Records.
About the Shops at Buckhead
Celebrities and industry tastemakers flock to the Shops at Buckhead’s trendy collection of high end boutiques and eateries in the heart at Buckhead.
Other celebs spotted at Shops at Buckhead in recent months include T.I. and Tiny, Keyshia Cole, Monica and Shannon Brown, Chris and Eudoxie Bridges, and numerous professional athletes.
A 6-figure salary is a must to shop at the exclusive open air mall, where security is tight and window shopping is discouraged.
The Tom Ford and Christian Louboutin boutiques were bustling with well-heeled shoppers on Sunday. The Dior and Saint Laurent stand alone shops will open their doors soon.

I’ll stick to the closed air mall becuz broke.
Omg Sandra I can see your reflection in the glass behind them? You wore cargo shorts to a store that requires a min 6 figures to shop in?? Chile?? Those knees? Chile, 2 words-Shea butter?? 2 more words-Bye Ashy??
Save your money black people don’t get too caught up in material things. Build wealth not a closet full of clothes and shoes. It’s ok to treat yourself but set limits ????

Bump you! I only got one good eye because the other has a foggy contact in it. Let me go call these people and order some boxes right now.
I’ve grown accustomed to outdoor malls, only. And can’t stand to go in a mini mall. Just seems like a tiny bopper spot.
Spent enough time at the mall as a kid. Too much time.
In her camomile induced dreams??? She does have six fingers on one hand, allegedly, but that’s a common deformity amongst Brits born in the 40’s,,,allegedly?

All these black folk on here, none of us living the gang banger lifestlyle but you read the post and decide to say ‘black people’ like this aint a problem built from generational oppression, generational self hatred, generational lack of ambition, generational failure to give a fugg and a million other things…this aint a black thing…..

Hell knaw. He an enabler.
And Amber want folks to stop calling her a stripper. Bish folks been associating drug use with Jodeci since 99 and the 2000’s. Could be worser ma’am. Could be worser.
You said so much with that one word. I read “Keke & Quincy, nope, hell naw, not me. Not gon watch it. Even if it’s on BET Matinee. Sounds like some bullchit. But you gon head.” LOL!!!!!!
*shakes fist* Take down that gravi! HE did a good job in this role, but I didn’t like the person he played.

What age did you start freakin’?
????
Just kind of in general… I was reading the post about the baby who was killed in Chicago and the father who retaliated and of course we are ALLLL naturally sick of the foolishness and we ALL oppose the behavior but some folk feel the need to keep saying black folk this and that…mind you, they see us all here at work and shii being productive…its like stfu this aint a black thang.
REALLY…ONLY Y-O-U, LOL
WHOOOOLLLY SHYT! I felt that from wayyy over here my hair was blowing like a Memorex commercial! Who fukked up and is on some bullshyt tuday?

YES! Saturday I logged on and it was hella people talking smack and a lot of people who normally aren’t on here during the week were talking big ish on the Chicago shut down trump story…I logged off ASAP…Just ignorant and negative
A glass of water with lemon, looking quite conspicuous…
i was gonna at least say a coffee and cupcake….
Right…stop with the blanket statements…how is that helping the cause? If anything it just sheds a negative light on US and further supports the bigots views.
*does praise dance* Come through Sista! Come through!!!! The I thought Black lives matter ones really get me? 0 accountability for crackaz killing Black folks is just that. Miss me with the what about, I thought…Peanutbutter ain’t got shît to do with mayonnaise…Yes I’ve had them both licked off my booty, but, yeah…Miany!!!??

(Use your name, instead of Maria…LOL–pic)…SAD & SOOO TRUE…I JUST SCROLL & ROLL–TOO MUCH, JUST TOO MUCH…BUT BETTER OUT THAN IN, I’LL SAY…SPEAK YOUR TRUTH!
no one… I am almost sure the post was yesterday.. I dont know. I am not calling folk out, let them keep their funky opinions…I just felt like they were generalizing it to make it about black people so I’m just confused like… HOW?? how is this a black trait when my black azz aint neva murder anyone.
Yeeesss!!! No one in my family does this ish! We have police, sheriffs, school teachers, principles, nurses, RN, pastors, Data Analyst(me), military and housewifes and the list of hardworkers goes on… no listing of gang anything here..sooo….
Some of these bloggers make real good money. One of my wife’s friends owns a real popular urban blog, and the woman who runs it clearly makes over 6 figures. As a matter of fact, I think she has a staff of like 3-4 people. Definitely making good money.
The coffee probably is 1K a cup, beans imported from Colombia.. The water might just be $20 a bottle, they plant their own lemon trees in the back. Sandra probably brought her own lemon sliced up and wrapped neat and tight in saran wrap tucked in her man purse..
Oh my!! *faints but freezes in mid air cuz my hair too fresh to hit the flo*

RIGHT! So he DOES get a pass. But that character hurt me to my heart when he did that shit.
“A 6-figure salary is a must to shop at the exclusive open air mall, where security is tight and window shopping is discouraged”
I can drive around, or ride the MARTA bus on them…
So, let me get this straight (no pun intended), Sandra you were cruising for MEN at an outdoor mall? Interesting.
From the synopsis it sounds good. Guess not lololololol. ….
Can ODB have his own hair style??? Guys kill me with the copyright infringement…
The acting.
“A 6-figure salary is a must to shop at the exclusive open air mall, where security is tight and window shopping is discouraged”…
Really, Sandra? There you go again honey, getting carried away. That place is ghetto as hell, and the list of “well-heeled” Benz driving hood rats you just named is proof of that.
Further, MOST of the people there are window shopping. The boutiques are overrated, and to be quite honest, that entire shopping mall fell off YEARS AGO.
If shopping in the midst of hundreds of loud hood rats is some sort of exclusive shopping experience in your mind, Sandra, then fine–have at it. But the truth is, that shopping center is just as ratchet as The West End Or Greenbriar Mall but with pricier stores.
By the way, that mall has some of the highest auto burglary rates of any mall in the entire metro Atlanta area. So while shopping, please be sure to lock your doors.
???
My statement is based on facts provided by the developer hun.
“The boutiques are overrated, and to be quite honest, that entire shopping mall fell off YEARS AGO.”
——————
Have you ever been to the Shops at Buckhead? It doesn’t sound like you have. The grand opening was in 2014.
Hi Sandra dear. Yeah that developer plays too much. I remember when that entire setup was built. Its still a very visually appealing and comfortable place but Sandra you know that black folks are taking that place over.
On weekends, it looks like the Old National Flea Market.
Ok that can do it for a seemingly good script.
LOL, actually darling I live on Valley Brook and have lived in north Buckhead since 2002. So, yeah, I’ve been there. I live less than 2 minutes away from there, matter of fact.
And The Shops–just like the rest of Buckhead–is overrated, overpriced, and turning ghetto.
They hyped up the development for years, and it definitely is eye-catching. What I meant was the area has been falling off for years, not the development. I no longer understand why Buckhead is still being hyped up.
I fell for the allure and charm of Buckhead back in ’02 but am now totally over the traffic, the over-development, and the invading masses of hood rats.
They both gay lol… They not even tryin to cover it up haaa
LMAO
Why is the guy on the left “smiling” like that…if that’s his “smile…looks retarded.
Did it go down after MARTA?
You must not make six figures.
