Last night, Grammy Award-winning R&B artist, R. Kelly received the ultimate birthday gift when DeVyne Stephens surprised Kelly with a private birthday celebration in Atlanta and premiered Kelly’s latest single ‘Birthday’ to the VIP guests.
Upon arrival guests mingled, enjoyed complimentary cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and music from DJ King. Upon Kelly’s arrival, instructions came over the mic to prepare the crowd for the grand surprise. Stephens sneakily lead Kelly through the back entrance of the restaurant to the main diningroom where the crowd erupted and DJ King premiered Kelly’s latest single, ‘Birthday.’
Next, a sea of female models escorted Kelly to his private section where family and friends gathered for a birthday cake presentation moments later. The party continued as guests vibed to more of Kelly’s latest and greatest hits in celebration of the King of R&B. Over 300 guests came out to celebrate with the King of R&B at the new Time Restaurant and Lounge in Midtown, Atlanta.
