The legendary singer, who passed away at the age of 51 due to pancreatic cancer, was laid to rest on Saturday (November 1) at Saint Paul’s Baptist Church in his birthplace of Richmond.

According to the order of service, images of which surfaced online, the funeral featured tribute performances from Stevie Wonder as well as D’Angelo’s former bands The Soultronics and The Vanguard.

The Soultronics, which supported D’Angelo on his Voodoo Tour in the early 2000s, included the likes of Questlove, James Poyser and Pino Palladino, while The Vanguard is credited on D’s final album, 2014’s Black Messiah.

Bishop Ralland V. Robinson conducted the service, while Pastor Jamal Bryant appeared in a special video tribute. Attendees included Lauryn Hill, DJ Premier, John Mayer and H.E.R., among many more.

The order of service also gave a special thanks to some of D’Angelo’s close friends and collaborators such as Questlove and Q-Tip.

“We wish to express our profound gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support,” his family wrote in the program. “Through music, love and light, Michael D’Angelo Archer’s spirit will shine forever.”

Swizz Beatz Reveals Surprising Secret Behind His Marriage To Alicia Keys

Swizz Beatz Reveals Surprising Secret Behind His Marriage To Alicia Keys

Swizz Beatz is opening up about the unexpected key ingredient to his lasting relationship with Alicia Keys.

Swizz Beatz spilled the tea on his 15-year marriage to Alicia Keys in a recent interview, revealing the unexpected secret behind their lasting romance.

The Grammy-winning producer explained that the key to their successful union boils down to one simple yet powerful word: communication.

“Marriage is definitely a big word, but look at it like your best friend,” Swizz said during an interview with Us Weekly. “The communication is there. We’ve never had an argument. Since we’ve been together, our kids [have] never seen it; never seen us raise our voice [or] never seen us yell. Never seen us curse at each other. Why? Because of communication.”

Swizz Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, emphasized that shouting matches are pointless.

“When you yell at each other, no one is really listening anyway,” he added. “Nothing gets solved in each other’s yelling.”

He also offered a fresh perspective on relationships, cautioning against treating a partner as property.

“People think they can own people. You can’t. It’s not property that you own. There’s a whole human, right?” Swizz continued. “So, we’re very clear on that. She’s her own boss. I’m my own boss. That’s how we make magic when we come together. I think that helps because people start getting very territorial and making their partner property, and I think that’s the biggest mistake.”

The Weeknd Explains Why He Plans To Retire Stage Name After ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Album

The Weeknd Explains Why He Plans To Retire Stage Name After 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' Album

The Weeknd is planning to retire his stage name after the release of his forthcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow, but fear not – he will still continue to make music.

In a new interview with Variety published on Friday (January 10), the superstar singer admitted that ‘The Weeknd’ is more of a persona that he no longer identifies with.

“[I am closing the chapter] on my existence as the Weeknd,” he said. “It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for. I feel like it comes with so much… You have a persona, but then you have the competition of it all. It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it.”

He noted that the 2022 moment when he lost his voice at his Los Angeles concert and had to reschedule just moments after the show began also played a role.

“Part of me actually was thinking, ‘You lost your voice because it’s done; you said what you had to say. Don’t overstay at the party — you can end it now and live a happy life.’ You know? Put the bow on it: ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’? Now we’re here. When is the right time to leave, if not at your peak? Once you understand who I am too much, then it’s time to pivot.”

He’s clear that he’s not quitting music, though.

“I don’t think I can stop doing that,” he added. “But everything needs to feel like a challenge. And for me right now, The Weeknd, whatever that is, it’s been mastered. No one’s gonna do The Weeknd better than me, and I’m not gonna do it better than what it is right now. I think I’ve overcome every challenge as this persona, and that’s why I’m really excited about this film, because I love this challenge.

“But I just want to know what comes after,” he concluded. “I want to know what tomorrow looks like.”

The singer has been hinting at the name retirement for some time.

Missy Elliott Pays Tribute To Aaliyah On Death Anniversary: ‘You Will Never Be Forgotten’

Missy Elliott Pays Tribute To Aaliyah On Death Anniversary: 'You Will Never Be Forgotten'

Missy Elliott had some kind words for the late Aaliyah on the anniversary of the singer’s passing.

Sunday (August 25) marked 23 years since she died in a plane crash in the Bahamas in 2001. Taking to X, Missy reflected on her friend and collaborator’s legacy.

“Your IMPACT on music is still being felt & studied by the generations behind you!” she said. “They LOVE seeing your STYLE & MUSIC was different over 20 years ago & til this day you r still that TRENDSETTER.

“Prayers for your family & the families of those other talented lives who left with you on this day. You will NEVER be Forgotten.”

Last year, Ginuwine shed some light on his falling out with Aaliyah before her death in an interview with Drink Champs.

The R&B crooner explained there was no real beef — it was more a misunderstanding when it came to his relationship with the late singer.

“We were all a family — Missy, Timbaland, her [Aaliyah], myself, Magoo, Playa, Tweet — all of us,” Ginuwine said, touching on the closeness with his former label mates.

“Her and I weren’t seeing eye-to-eye. I think it had to do a lot more with her loyalty to her uncle, Barry Hankerson — he was the record [company] head and [his] company was my manager — I just decided to leave because whatever reason. Of course, her loyalty was to her family. So, that’s where that stemmed from.”

Bryson Tiller’s Self-Titled Album Is Finally Here: Stream It Now

Bryson Tiller’s Self-Titled Album Is Finally Here: Stream It Now

His eponymous fourth studio album arrives four years after Anniversary, which marked the fifth anniversary of his debut album Trapsoul.

The wait is over — Bryson Tiller released his self-titled album on Friday (April 5) via RCA Records.

“My main goal with this album is for the masses to hear everything I’m capable of doing,” Tiller told Billboard in a recent interview. “So they give me a chance and stick around as fans. My main goal is that everybody hears it and my guarantee is that you’ll love at least one song from this album. I can guarantee that.”

The 19-track project includes collaborations with Victoria Monét on “Persuasion” and Clara La San on “Random Access Memory [RAM]” as well as previous singles “Outside,” “Calypso” and “Whatever She Wants.” The lattermost single scored Tiller his first Billboard Hot 100 top 20 single as a lead artist since his 2015 breakthrough debut single “Don’t,” and “Whatever She Wants” also reached No. 8 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

But he said “Calypso” is the “most story-driven song” out of his three previously released singles. “It is just a movie, top-to-bottom. It’s about a guy going to the club and looking at the guest list and realizing his name is on there next to a girl he used to date. He never forgot her name because she wore her name on her necklace,” Tiller explains. “They get inside the club and it’s empty. Maybe it’s not empty and it’s a vibe, but it reminds them of a time in the club when it was packed. That song comes on, ‘Just like magic they playing our song.’ It’s just like, ‘We gotta get one last dance in.’ The guy’s hoping he can go home with her that night, but it doesn’t end up that way.”

His eponymous fourth studio album arrives four years after Anniversary, which marked the fifth anniversary of his debut album Trapsoul. Anniversary included the Drake-assisted “Outta Time” and “Still Yours,” featuring Big Sean, on the deluxe edition. The 10-song set peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and No. 4 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
