My ears are still ringing from all the screaming girls that came out to see teen heartthrob, Jacob Latimore, on Aug. 3 at MetroPCS in Duluth, Ga. This is a very special post for me because it’s like I’m watching one of my own babies blossom into a full-fledged teen sensation right before my eyes. I had the pleasure of meeting Jacob and his family a few years back when I first got into the entertainment business. My daughter had a segment called “Talking With Kids,” and that was one of the first interviews that he had ever done.

So to see this handsome young man grow up and live out his dream tugs at my heartstrings. I’ve seen him out at events over the years and now he is almost as tall as me! Jacob is now signed to Jive Records and has a new reality show, and he’s on tour doing what he loves. I talked to his mom, Tish, who looks all of 18 herself, and asked her how proud she was of him. She said she is still getting used to girls screaming and almost causing mayhem when he makes appearances. I would be overwhelmed too if I had a baby looking as cute as he does. At the meet and greet he hugged me and asked, “Where is Tyra?” I looked around and there was my doggone daughter, all the way over in the corner laughing and crying at the same time. I waved for her to come over to say hello. She approached him nervously and didn’t know what to say. Seeing someone in top 10 videos on BET, then seeing them in person was a bit much for my daughter. Tweens I tell you, they’re a mess!

Jacob and my daughter talked and laughed, and then took pics together. MetroPCS then held a raffle and a fan won a date with Jacob! She was all smiles as he posed for pictures with her. Fans also got a chance to view Jacob’s latest project, a reality series called, “Project DNA” (Dynamic New Artist), which chronicles the obstacles he faced in getting signed and shows his family life.

Jacob’s current hit single and video, “Nothing On Me,” has garnered over 1 million hits on YouTube. I’m so very proud of my bookie and I wish him all the success in the world. Thanks to MetroPCS for inviting us out, I had a blast and so did my daughter!
