DJ Khaled made another movie with his friends on Wednesday. The Cash Money DJ held court on set of his flashy video for “No New Friends,” the first single off his upcoming album Suffering From Success.
The YMCMB crew took over a mansion in Miami with some video vixens and briefcases full of cash, making it rain for the cameras. Twelve-time BET Awards nominee Drake rocked a throwback Dada outfit, while Rozay and Khaled popped Belaire Rosé champagne. Ace Hood and Birdman stopped by to make cameos in the Colin Tilley-directed clip.
Amidst Danity Kane reunion rumors, Dawn Richard filmed a video for “Riot,” the next single off her solo debut Goldenheart.
The video picks up where “’86″ left off and marks the second chapter in her visual choreography film (The third chapter will be “Northern Lights”). In the video, the leader of the Hearts prepares for battle, dressed in her warrior princess gear, as she performs with her troupe of dancers.
“Dance is the narrator of this visual story,” says Dawn. “The fashion and image look this way because it is an ongoing story.”
See Dawn’s story unfold when the video premieres later this month.
Chris Brown mingled with his fashionable friends at the Met Gala after-party in New York City last night. The “Fine China” singer, who has reportedly called it quits with Rihanna, was seen entering the party with Vogue entertainment editor Jill Demling.
He missed the actual gala because his plane had to make an emergency landing. According to TMZ, he was flying on a private jet out of Burbank when the cockpit filled with smoke after takeoff.
The pilot immediately turned the plane around and performed an emergency landing back at Burbank airport. But Chris was undeterred and decided to board another private jet, missing the Met Gala but making it in time for the after-party, where he hung out with Pharrell and Rita Ora.
A blond Breezy showed no signs of the drama that unfolded as he entered with a smile on his face.

Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci also dressed dad-to-be Kanye West and his pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian, while Frank Ocean and Madonna joined them at the Givenchy table.
Nicki Minaj sported curly blonde hair and a blue gown, designed by Tommy Hilfiger. To thank her for her support, the designer gifted her with a Rolex earlier in the day.

Young Money didn’t spare any expense while shooting the ritzy video for Rich Gang’s single “Tapout.” The YMCMB all-stars took over a Beverly Hills mansion in March, the same week Lil Wayne suffered his series of seizures.

Tyga is getting in more work before he heads overseas for his European tour on April 30. After shooting a video for “For the Road” with Chris Brown earlier this week, he was back on set for “Show You,” his collaboration with Future off Hotel California. The rappers escaped to Catalina Island to shoot the summery visuals with director Colin Tilley.
They boarded a ferry boat and sailed to the small island off the coast of California. Once there, they shot scenes on the sandy shores and on a yacht, meeting fans along the way.
“Takin a boat over to the yacht…Catalina island 3hrs away on water,” tweeted Future, who was straight off the plane from the East Coast.
