Howard University’s spectacular homecoming took place last week and being a bison myself, I was there for some of the festivities. I had the pleasure of hanging with Janelle Monae who performed at Howard’s fashion show. This girl is one HECK of a performer!
Janelle is currently preparing for the release of her next suite from Metropolis, and the video for her first single Violet Stars Happy Hunting!.
While we’re on the subject of Howard’s Homecoming, check out some of the other performers and celebs that stopped by the Parade, Yardfest concert, and R&B concert:

Can Cassie go anywhere without Diddy? Gracious!

Chrisette Michele is THE BOMB!!!!!
That girl can sang her butt off.
Beyon.. who
Rhia…. who
Cia… who
Puhleeezeee
These chick need to recognize a REAL singer.
YOU GO Chrisette Michele !!!!!!!!!!!!
And Tiana girl you lookin good!!!!!!
Nothing like Homecoming at the REAL HU! And we won the game! I really enjoyed this wrap up! This is my last homecoming as an undergrad and I was truly pleased with the events that I attended. I can’t wait to come back as an alum!
janelle hair is a mess in distress and so are those shoes…
janelle is my #1 artist, don’t sleep. her album is 5 bucks and its so ahead of the industry. i love her music, plus she’s fine and fly too
Bow wow and Omarion are the shortest little people ever. standing side by side with them, I can honestly say they are 5’4-5’5. I was dying laughing…
Parties were so LIVE and Yardfest was good. Hurricane Chris, Ray Lavendar, Duffel Bag boy dude, One chance, and the so krispie guy also performed. Homecoming weekend was pretty much poppin…
This really makes me want to go to my Homecoming this weekend. Tianna you are so pretty! Love Janelle Monae.
that chrisette girl’s dress is wayyy too tight. it doesnt seem to fit her correctly
Janelle rocks black and white very well. And she’s pretty and talented.
Cassie is BONKABLE material.
I like Diddy’s jacket.
Tianna, you got nice curves. Are you married/engaged? I see a ring on your engagement/wedding ring finger.
That girl Tianna got a$$ets… What’s really good? My balla status is certified sweetie.
This reminds me of all my HBCU hoppin around Homecoming time . . . back, back in the day. You all should really cover a few more live HBCUs like Southern, FAMU, and Spelman/Morehouse (but I think that one just passed.) For anyone who is young and still deciding on colleges, there is nothing like an undergrad HBCU experience.
I’M SOOOO MAD I MISSED JANELLE MONAE!
I loooove me some Janelle Monea! She is one killin performer! She just won’t stop dancin, and good live as well.
Violent Stars, Happing Hunting is my MuFo jam!!!
I like all 5 songs on her album really!
shout out to my cuzzo Brittany Jenay Brooks for being this years “Ms. Howard University!!!!”
What the fuck is Cassie doing there?
Her performance was phenomenal…At first the crowd was looking at her sideways b/c she is different..but when she sang the slow ballad..no one could deny that she has talent…she reminds me of a female 3 stacks….come to find out she is on Andre 3000′s label…go figure!
If anyone has never been to THE REAL HU’s homecoming, you’re missing a great experience! But don’t get it twisted, we hustle…no party school here! From a proud HU ALUM!
Bison ’til I die…HU…YOU KNOW!!!
I think u need an entire HU Homecoming post… as usual, shit was off the hook!
Bro,
You take the best pictures…I dont know if you decided, but you should go ahead and do your own version of the year book. You made the “official” homecoming festivities look a lot better than they actually were!!!
I LUV JANELLE MONAE’S STYLE…. SHE IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, WHERE CAN U FIND HER MUSIC?
*sings* I’m soooooooo glad, I go to Howard UUUUUUUUUU!
Even though this homecoming got a grade of a C+ from me. Chrisette was great (Tank..keep it movin), Janelle was great. Fashion show was alright. WE WON THE GAME YAAAAY!…comedy show, eh. Stepshow, blah.
