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.

Lil Wayne may have lost his endorsement deal with Mountain Dew, but he had another reason to celebrate. The Young Money mogul launched his Spectre by Supra footwear line in Miami last night. The avid skateboarder partnered with the skating brand after they saw his passion for the sport.
