The urban entertainment world will be focused on Orlando this weekend, as the NBA is holding its annual All-Star Game at the Amway Arena in Orlando. The city of Orlando is used to Dwight Howard’s theatrics on a nightly basis. However, over the next few days, Orlando will also be the home of Kobe Bryant, the big three who represent the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh, and many other A-list NBA superstars.
Basketball and hip hop go nearly hand-in-hand. There are few rappers who are not NBA fans and those who are not are likely to be friends with several NBA ballers. With the two worlds attracting the same type of audience, several hip hop stars will also be in Orlando. Ace Hood will be among the hip hop superstars in attendance for the All-Star Game festivities. While many other stars will also be in attendance, Ace Hood stands out, as he will be the first artist to take the stage.
Tomorrow night, Ace Hood will be performing live at Bliss Ultralounge, thus kicking off All-Star Weekend. Along with Ace Hood, a special guest appearance will be made by Tammy Torres. Earlier today, Torres leaked this information, along with the flyer, via Twitter. Ace Hood confirmed the tweet when he also shared the information. Doors open at 9:00 pm and special NBA guest will include Jason Richardson, of the hometown Magic, Chris Duhon, and Earl Clark. Luv Solid Ent. and Luv For Broken Hearts Ent. are the companies behind the event.
