A labor of love 🫂 What’s there to say about a singer who deserves it all? Ten-plus years of blood, sweat and tears culminated in a year for the ages: a top 10 hit, multiple Grammys and a world tour breathing life back into a generation of lovers and romantics. kehlani embodies heart, resilience and love. So, it was only right that she grace our 2026 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players cover. And instead of a traditional interview, we grabbed last year’s cover star and her friend leonthomas to go Bryant Gumbel interviewer mode, making the conversation that much more special. From child ballet star to superstar. So proud of this cover. My hero and 🐐gailnmitchellofficial did her big one with this ✍🏽 R&B Forever ❤️ #kehlani #rnb #leonthomas #billboard
