The R&B music icon celebrated his half a century mark this weekend in a lavish birthday celebration presented by 1778 Events and Ciroc French Vanilla.

Of course, BBD took the stage for a mini concert of hits such as “N.E. Heartbreak,” “When Will I See You Smile Again” and the forever classic “Poison.”
