Best Of Both Worlds: Birthday Bash

In August 2008, a few folks within the industry threw a "Best of Both Worlds" Birthday Bash and Guess who showed up? When the truth started to circulate regarding John Stephens ( Legend) and Kayne West constant share of a Hotel Room, John quickly "claimed a chick". He also distance himself away from Kayne socially and was instantly linked up with "Christian Teigen". Prior to Christain transformation, she was parading around town with Andre Harrell. Andre Harrell is a mogul within the music industry. He is known to parade around with ladyboys before they transform. Right after John Legend was linked to Christain, the images of her time with Andre were removed from the internet. In addition, i've always wondered if Christian Mendez was related to Christina Teigen.

"The industry's latest "legend" -- John Legend, actually -- reveals that from the age of five or six, he expected to be 'discovered."

“I used to watch Michael Jackson on television and I figured I could do what he was doing." Music has been the central theme in the life of John Legend (born John Stephens) for as long as he can remember and now, some twenty-odd years later, this multi-talented singer, songwriter, musician, arranger and producer is fulfilling his childhood dreams and ambitions."

"John's patience paid off: through his college roommate and collaborator Devo Harris, he met Kanye West (Harris's cousin), who was emerging as a hitmaking producer for acts like Jay-Z and Scarface and an artist in his own right (via the now best-selling album The College Dropout). "I first met Kanye after he came to see one of my shows," Legend recalls. "It took a while for us to start working together. The first time was when he had me come in to sing hooks on a couple of the songs that eventually made the College Dropout album. Then he gave me some beats to write to for my demo. After about an hour and a half of writing, I came back with a song called 'Do What I Gotta Do,' based on a beat that sampled Aretha's 'Til You Come Back To Me.' He played that first song for a bunch of people and they all loved it, so we started working together more and more."


Hollywood is filled with "arranged" situations!
