While many used this weekend to celebrate the end of involuntary DIY grooming by visiting their hairstylist or nail tech for the first time in a very long time, there was also much cause for celebration in Celebville.

Here in Mzansi, a birthday was celebrated and so was a career milestone. Further afield, exciting news were shared regarding an upcoming visual album in celebration of black lives.

Here’s what some of your fave celebs got up to.

K Naomi celebrated her 29th birthday this past weekend. The TV personality and MC shared how she would have definitely been celebrating on a sunny island if it wasn’t for the coronavirus pandemic and travel bans.

With the nature of celebrations drastically changed and virtual interaction still being the name of the game, many of her friends and fans took to social media to celebrate her special day with her.

This past weekend, Dj Shimza took a sho’t left to Magaliesburg where he enjoyed a bit of hiking. The ban on hiking and other related activities was lifted on the 1st of June, with many outdoor activities allowed in adherence to social distancing and set curfews.

After staying home for a very long time as a result of level 5 and 4 of the lockdown, many of Shimza’s followers took to the comment section to express their desire to also go out and connect with nature again.

Another celeb who used her weekend to connect with nature is Boity. As a form of self care, the rapper decided to escape the hurrying and scurrying and to silence the noise by embracing mountains and grassy fields.

Spending time with nature is definitely the refreshing kind of self-care and self-restoration we love to see.

This past weekend marked exactly a year since Nadia Nakai released her album titled Nadia Naked. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the rapper expressed her gratitude for the accomplishments and blessings which have come her way because of the album.

These include various awards, features on magazine covers and being signed to international record label Def Jam Africa. Her list of achievements left her fans and industry friends with very little choice but to flood the comment section with congratulatory messages.

Beyoncé used a part of her weekend to reveal very exciting news to her fans. Sharing the trailer for her visual album Black is King, she revealed that it aims to explore black history and African tradition with a modern twist.

The visual album was inspired by The Lion King and is set to head for Disney on the 31st of July. Queen B also shared that the events of 2020, including the brutal killing of George Floyd, have made the film’s vision and message even more relevant.

Rapper and songwriter Roddy Ricch also shared the exciting news regarding the release of the Rockstar music video  where he collaborated with American rapper DaBaby.

The hit song Rockstar is featured on DaBaby’s most recent album which debuted in April. Very soon after its release, the song was number 1 on the Hot 100 chart.
