This is definitely Porsha Williams’ season! After her lavish wedding last weekend where she wed Simon Guobadia, the beauty was spotted singing the national anthem at the Atlanta Hawks game over the weekend alongside her best friend, Shamea Morton.
For the performance, Porsha donned an all red, one shouldered dress that hugged her curves to perfection. As fr her hair, she rocked her long locs in a high pony tail with a gold band around it and let her curls hand free. Shamea matched her besties fly and rocked a cream colored suit with a blazer and matching slacks. The melanated duo took center court ahead of tip off and sang the Anthem to perfection!
Porsha shared a video of the performance on her Instagram page, captioning the video, “The National Anthem brought to you by the besties My baby cakes @shameamorton ask me to sing with her and we’ll this happened! @atlhawks Thank you for having us !”
