SPOTTED: PARIS EXPERIENCED FULL TRAP EXCESS LAST NIGHT, AND THERE’S NO SIGNS OF IT SLOWING DOWN!TMZ EXCLUSIVE – Paris may be the city of love, but last night proved that it was a city of excess, overflowing with beats, bottles and big-time energy as trap phenom Jadyn Ghalen took his 2025 ‘No Pressure, No Diamonds’ tour to the Accor Arena in Paris, France for the second of two concerts on the French capital bringing along his glamourous inner-circle and welcoming his star-studded celebrity friends along for the ride.
Having already wrapped up the opening North American leg of his world tour, two nights at the O2 Arena in London and one opening night at the Accor Arena in Paris, France set the standard for the European leg of the tour but it was night two that really brought this travelling circus of energy and excess to stratospheric levels. Before Jadyn even hit the stage, the arena was already vibrating, with the crowd treated to not one but two major opening acts. Two bona-fide headliners in their own right in the form of rap and RnB hybrid artist Kara Romero and RnB superstar Keshia Love which set the bar incredibly high for the evening ahead. Romero arriving onstage first, delivering a string of hits in a tight eight song set that got the crowd energy up from the first notes. While Keshia Love served as the prelude to the main event, delivering a sultry twelve track set, overwhelming the crowd with her velvet tones and powerful command of the stage which sent the fans in attendance rightly feral. It was clear that Paris loves Keshia and Keshia loves Paris right back.
Sources tell TMZ the backstage energy between Kara and Keshia was all laughs and champagne, with both artists hyping each other up before stepping out for their respective sets. Backstage it was purely friends supporting one another, conversations while their respective glam-squads got them stage ready, even quick vocal warm-ups together and mini pep-talks before hitting the stage. No ego in sight as the more experienced artist Kara Romero willingly took opening billing, allowing her younger protégé Keshia Love to take the bulk of the opening act spotlight.
By the time the main event hit, Jadyn Ghalen arrived onstage with his ego very much on show. Pyro, lasers and charisma was very much the centrepiece of the headlining set from Jadyn Ghalen, an eighteen song setlist full of high energy as the trap star commanded every inch of the arena, dropping hit after hit with the confidence of someone that knows he’s
that guy right now. Fever pitch was reached when Keshia Love returned to the stage early in the headline set to recapture the magic from their summer anthem “Good Lovin’”. And by the end of such a high energy set, he had truly put the audience through their own stamina test. At the 10:45 finish time, the exit doors of the venue were greeted with sweating and gasping fans, their screaming had not stopped all evening from opener to encore. At one point, you could feel the floor literally shake.
But the
real show? Upstairs, in the VIP suite, where Jadyn’s crew and closest friends rolled up hard, deep into the Paris evening. Imani Jasmine Woods, co-owner of Jadyn’s label arrived in a sleek black velvet dress along with Vincent Cooper Jr. label exec and longtime friend of Jadyn’s, dressed smartly as he maintained the aura as possibly the calmest person in the venue. As well as being joined by label PR assistant Haley Dean seemingly making up the ‘Royale Vices and Virtues INC’ crew that flew out to the capital to support their business partner. Also spotted in the exclusive VIP suite was his brother, rap artist and one third of Orion, Jamal Ghalen, the recent Velour Management signee was accompanied by his own inner-circle, while the management agencies A&R manager and lead promoter Saffiah Al Noor, draped in gold jewellery, denim shorts, tank top and leather jacket combo brought the energy in the VIP suite, dancing throughout the entire evening, joint firmly fixed between her fingers and lips.
But if the main event onstage was Jadyn, there was certainly a main event in the VIP suite that got those within viewing distance feverish in their excitement and that was the appearance of the R&B superstar Billy Khan, arriving in towe with the Italian supermodel Amelle Fiore, it didn’t take long for the audience to snap shots of him with what clearly appears to be his current beau. Whispers shot through the venue as soon as the first sighting of the London born superstar was spotted, as camera flashes hit the VIP suite area, Billy didn’t shy away from the attention. But as soon as the concert was in full flow, he spent the majority of his time with his arms wrapped around his woman, eyes fixed on the stage throughout. Some of those closest to the suite hoped for an impromptu appearance onstage from the RnB star which never came. But his presence in the venue felt like a show on its own merit.
As much as the fans of Jadyn will always remember their experience from this evening, the after-party is where Paris truly saw things it will never forget. After the show wrapped and the arena lights dimmed, Jadyn and his inner-circle didn’t just slip quietly into the night, they truly detonated it. The tour crew made their way to a private celebratory after-party tucked inside a beautiful old mansion. Marble staircase, antique chandeliers and an ungodly amount of security patrolling the iconic building. Known for its hosting of the Parisian elite, it was occupied only with Ghalen’s inner-circle and touring crew, the only exception being the waiting staff and security.
The group partied deep into the early hours of the morning, online rumours surfaced and fans waited around in the dead of the night just hoping to get a glimpse of something from a distance. Fan sources confirm that lights and music could be seen and heard well beyond three am. A brief glimpse of a group of around six taking the party out into the grounds of the sprawling mansion was noted while grainy drone footage was unable to pick up little more than the sound of music pumping through the ancient walls.
It sounds like a private event that is likely to build in scale as rumours circulate almost on an hourly basis, the most recent of which indicates that it was a party that didn’t go off without incident and may involve a couple of serious incidents that could become public knowledge in the coming days and weeks. Those hired by the occupiers of the mansion stated that by the time of their arrival the following day, everybody had gone but the aftermath was like something out of a music shoot. What’s clear is that Jadyn Ghalen didn’t just perform in Paris, he took over Paris. And with a celebrity entourage this stacked, an after-party this unhinged and enough star power to keep the grid in Paris running for an entire year, the Accor Arena show is already being talked about as one of those mythical music stories only to be discussed with the caveat of folklore.
And trust us, TMZ will definitely be watching what this chaos crew does next.
