Sure, that didn\u2019t quite make any sense, but you\u2019ll get that reference soon, probably. Okay, here\u2019s what we found out \u2013 apparently, Konshens has been hitting way above his weight and has been rubbing shoulders with some heavy hitters. Who might those be? Well, does the name \u2018Curry\u2019 ring a bell? No, not the spice. THE Curry, Steph that is. The Splash King (Get the reference now?) If you\u2019re still struggling to get it, we\u2019re talking about basketball superstar and the greatest shooter the game of basketball has ever seen, Steph Curry, also called Chef Curry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, good people, get a taste of <em>this<\/em> Curry!\nApparently, wife of the famed basketball star, Ayesha Curry, recently had a\nsurprise birthday party thrown for her by her hubby, and just who did the power\ncouple invite? None other than Mr. <em>\u2018Good Girl Gone Bad\u2019 <\/em>himself, Mr.\nKonshens. And make no mistake about it \u2013 the party was star-studded, and\nincluded the likes of Gabrielle Union, Tamera Mowry, Jessica Alba and Mia\nWright, just to name a few. In that room full of stars, we\u2019re hearing that\nKonshens shone. Oh, he wasn\u2019t the only invited dancehall star, either. Also\npartying with the heavy hitters was Hood Celebrity. I\u2019m sure we don\u2019t have to\nsay more at this point, but we will. In a word, the party was LIT (\u2018off the\nchains\u2019 for you old folks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why a Jamaican-themed party? Well, Jamaica\u2019s influence is\npractically everywhere, but we learnt the reason went far beyond our culture\u2019s\nwelcomed pervasiveness. It was revealed that Ayesha Curry\u2019s parents are of\nAfro-Jamaican and Chinese-Jamaican descent, and from all indications, the\nmother of three is no stranger to Caribbean (ahem, Jamaican) culture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Videos of the lively birthday celebration were quite\nnaturally all over social media, and you could see clips of the Curry\u2019s getting\ndown to some good old dancehall music, and were more so into it when Konshens\ntook the microphone, and was joined by Hood Celebrity. It\u2019s a good thing they\ndelivered, as comments like these from Ayesha\u2019s superstar friends made it all\nworth it: \u201cHappy Birthday Ayesha,\u201d Gabrielle Union wrote on Instagram. \u201cSo glad\nwe could sneak up to the Bay and surprise you! S\/O to Steph for keeping her\nlaughing and smiling and on the dance floor all night and that bomb food!!!\nGood times!! Until the next adventure\u2026,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The others all hit right in that neighbourhood. It was good\non our musicians to represent, and hopefully, these connections are being\ncapitalized on. Happy belated, Ayesha!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Nattoo &#8211; Staff Reporter Admittedly, dancehall star Konshens has been MIA from the local scene, but it seems that\u2019s been for a very good, shall we say, splashing cause.
