DJ D-Nice’s virtual house party was the place to be this weekend.
The DJ and photographer hosted what he called the “Home School” party on Saturday night, and it was packed! Of course the music selection was on point, but it was really about the sense of community that sprung up from the comment section. Even though people are social distancing and staying home, it truly felt special when he would shout out some of the celebs in attendance, everyone from Michelle Obama, Oprah and Janet Jackson to Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg, and Drake. Other all-star partygoers included J-Lo, Rihanna, Stevie Wonder, Naomi Campbell, Queen Latifah, Ellen DeGeneres, Will Smith, Diddy and Mark Zuckerberg. At one point, even presidential hopefuls Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden dropped in to show love.
At its peak, the 10-hour Home School Instagram Live stream clocked over 100,000 viewers.
