Bobby Valentino Details 'Numbing' Neurological Scare Ahead Of Millennium Tour
Bobby V, once upon a time known as Bobby Valentino, is in the headlines after the R&B singer revealed he'd had a serious health scare. Even worse, he fell ill just ahead of his scheduled performance on The Millennium Tour in Memphis.
The hitmaker shared a chilling account of his experience, explaining that he was hospitalized after experiencing alarming symptoms — including a 'racing heart, fever, and numbness on the left side of his body.' After treatment, doctors suggested that these symptoms could have been related to a potential 'neurological episode.'
'Last night I got real sick,' he explained in a video recorded at the airport. In a follow up statement to The Shade Room, he further detailed, 'To be honest I wasn't gonna say nothing about this but I was rushed to the hospital – heart racing, fever spiked, whole left side of my body went numb. The doctors said it might've been a neurological episode from exhaustion and dehydration. I laid there, IV in my arm, hearing them say I shouldn't move.'
Despite the health scare, Bobby V's commitment to his fans remained unwavering. When his original flight to Memphis was delayed, the 'Slow Down' singer didn't let it stop him from delivering an unforgettable performance. He reportedly spent a whopping $20,000 on a private jet to make it to the show on time.
With pure gratitude and concern, his fans flooded social media with messages of prayers and well-wishes, acknowledging his relentless dedication while encouraging him to put his health first. As of now, Bobby has not revealed whether he plans to take any time off from the tour.
'Slow downnnn.. your body is trying to warn ya!! That is stroke symptoms love. More water more rest,' one person commented on TSR's page. Another wrote, 'Listen to your body after this show though. Get some rest.'
The Black Promoters Collective (BPC) announced the return of the nostalgic tour last November with a star-studded lineup that includes Bow Wow, Omarion, and Trey Songz as the headliners. The 24-city tour, which began last month, includes major cities Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Chicago before wrapping up this month in Los Angeles.
Aside from Bobby V, concertgoers have been enjoying timeless hits from the rest of the line up which includes Plies, Boosie, Ying Yang Twins, RSVP (Ray J, Sammie, Bobby V, Pleasure P), Nivea, and special guest Rick Ross.

2025 BET Awards Delivers ‘106 & Park' Reunion With Original Hosts And Nostalgic Performances
The 2025 BET Awards pulled out all the nostalgic stops to celebrate its 25th anniversary, delivering a history-making moment with a long-anticipated 106 & Park reunion. Complete with a replica of the original set staged inside Los Angeles' Peacock Theater, the tribute brought back fan-favorite hosts Free, Julissa Bermudez, Keshia Chanté, Big Tigger, and Terrence J to honor the iconic music countdown show that shaped an era of Black culture. Their reunion wasn't just a walk down memory lane — it set the tone for a night charged with throwback energy and unforgettable performances. Ashanti took the stage with her timeless hit 'Unfoolish,' followed by Jim Jones turning the entire theater into a sea of invisible jump shots with his anthem 'Ballin.' Amerie, Mya, and Keyshia Cole reminded the world why women in 2000s R&B still reign supreme, as T.I. returned with royal flair, reminding everyone why he still is the 'King of the South.' And then there was B2K — who had grown women screaming like it was 2002 all over again with 'Bump, Bump, Bump.' But the moment that sealed it all came when Bow Wow, affectionately known as 'Mr. 106 & Park,' closed the tribute with 'Like You' and 'Fresh Azimiz' — cementing his legacy as one of the show's most memorable artists and former hosts. More than a trip down memory lane, the reunion was a full-circle celebration of the show that helped define a generation. 106 & Park wasn't just television — it was a hub that launched careers, championed Black culture, and gave young, Black audiences a stage to see themselves. 'BET and 106 & Park created this iconic culture,' Terrence J told VIBE. 'A brand. A legacy. And to sit here 25 years later, trading stories and realizing how many lives were impacted, it's surreal.' Hosted by Kevin Hart and packed with standout performances from Lil Wayne, Teyana Taylor, GloRilla, Mariah Carey, and more, the 2025 BET Awards connected the past, present, and future all on one stage. See performances below.
