Shhh!!! It’s a secret. Three time Grammy award winner-songwriter, Jill Scott a.k.a “JillyfromPhilly” got married over the weekend. TheFool’s Gold performer/songstress got married to longtime beau, Mike Dobson in Los Angeles on Saturday. This was so unexpected and if you’re like us, you’re probably very surprised and filled with questions such as “I didn’t know she was dating?” “When did she get engaged?” And “How were we all out of the loop?” Well Jill Scott has always been known to keep keep her singing life open and her private life CLOSED! So news of this sorts are really not that surprising, but she could have at least gave us a little something, right?
If you’re feeling a little taken back by the news, don’t be. According to Mike Dobson’s long time friend, DJ Mars, was in the dark as well. Below are the comments he posted to his IG page:
“So my man called me a year ago and said, ‘Mars I need you to DJ my wedding…don’t get booked on June 25th 2016! He came to my house and gave me the deposit early, but he didn’t say he was marrying Jill Scott!!!!! D**n homie!!!!!!!!!!”
So Jill was not the only one on the HUSH, HUSH as it seems like her newly wedded beau was also not spilling the beans either. According to online, Scott looked gorgeous and radiant in a white low-cut gown with lace sleeves and a silver sparkling belt, her hair was adorned with white clips in which she wore up with a long veil. Dobson wore a black tux. The arrangements and tables were all decorated and adorned with pink roses.
As if the wedding could not be anymore formal, private and intimate, Dobson surprised his wife with a performance none other than Big Daddy Kane. Kane came into the wedding, grabbed a mic and started rapping to “Smooth Operator.” Scott– whom was having a great time dancing with family and friends– was elated when Big Daddy approached her in song; the look on her face was truly priceless.
Cheers to Jill Scott and her new hubby, Mike Dobson! We wish them love, peace, happiness & a future filled with more beautiful music.
