New Edition Steals the Show With Dance Battle at Earthquake’s Wedding
Comedian Earthquake tied the knot this past weekend, and while the ceremony was full of love and laughter, it was the reception that really had everyone talking. The legendary comic married his longtime love Rashida in Los Angeles, and the guest list was straight out of a throwback Black Hollywood reunion. But the highlight of the night? A full-on dance battle courtesy of New Edition’s very own Johnny Gill and Bobby Brown.
A Star-Studded Wedding
From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this was not your average wedding. Earthquake, known for his larger-than-life humor and warm personality, brought that same energy to his big day. Rashida looked stunning in her bridal gown, and the couple was showered with love from family, friends, and plenty of celebrities from the comedy and music worlds.
Insiders say the vibe was “family reunion meets awards show after-party,” with stars from the 1990s and 2000s Black entertainment scene showing up to celebrate the couple.
The Dance Floor Explodes
As the night moved from dinner to dancing, that’s when things went next-level. Johnny Gill and Bobby Brown, both of New Edition fame, turned the reception into a concert moment, kicking off an impromptu dance-off that had everyone on their feet.
Videos from the night show Johnny breaking it down old-school while Bobby, never one to shy away from the spotlight, countered with his signature moves. Guests surrounded the floor, cheering them on like it was a live music video.
“It was like watching history unfold right there on the dance floor,” one guest said. “The crowd went crazy — it was the kind of energy you only get when legends are in the building.”
Black Hollywood Reunion
Earthquake’s wedding was more than just a marriage celebration; it was a gathering of generations of entertainers who’ve shaped comedy, music, and Black culture for decades. Between laughs, toasts, and that unforgettable dance battle, the night felt like a living tribute to the community Earthquake has been a part of for years.
For Johnny and Bobby, the dance-off was also a reminder of New Edition’s lasting influence. Decades after their heyday, they’re still able to command a room — even if it’s in tuxedos at a wedding reception.
Congratulations to the Happy Couple
While the dance battle may have stolen the spotlight for a moment, the night ultimately belonged to Earthquake and Rashida. Friends say the couple was glowing with happiness, and the love between them was undeniable throughout the evening.
Congratulations to the newlyweds — and a special shoutout to New Edition for giving guests a show they’ll never forget. Who needs a DJ when you have Bobby Brown and Johnny Gill going head-to-head on the dance floor?
