Our good sis Keke Palmer was outside this weekend. After announcing her role as host of the 2023 Soul Train Awards, the beloved entertainer and personality hit the 2023 Soul Train Awards red carpet debuting a bomb blonde look in a leather little black dress by Versace. In a promo clip on social media, Keke rejoined about the hosting honor. “BET asked your girl to host this year’s Soul Train Awards. And you know it’s about to be lit, grown, sexy, and real cute or whatever.” She continued, “Unlike any other because I’m doing it my way. And I’m doing it from my fabulous big ole house in the Hollywood Hills. So while the guest list is exclusive, I’m letting the cameras in to help me celebrate the most soulful party of the year.” The announcement came with instructions. “Get your Keke-tinis ready and turn up with me on Sunday.”
