PICS: Diamond 21st Birthday Bash at Velvet Room

I heard from an industry insider that the friends who were supposed to come out and support Diamond for her 21st birthday at Velvet Room this Sunday decided to back out at the last minute because, with the exception of Monica who had to attend a family function out of state, they were all feeling some kind of way about not getting paid. So instead of coming out to support — as they originally agreed to do, they chose to sit at home.

The sad part is all of these artists will eventually need promo and PR for their albums, TV shows, etc. The party ended up being great anyway without them because Rasheda, Swizz Beatz, Gucci Mane, Polow Da Don, Lil Scrappy, Drake, Toya all came through and showed Diamond love.

Happy Birthday, Diamond!
