The most magical moment of the weekend for D-Nice came when he was djing a party thrown by Dave Chappelle and Netflix to celebrate the release of fellow comedic icon Chris Rock’s comedy special, Tambourine.  In short, by the end of the star-studded event, everyone from Stevie Wonder, to Common, to Chris Tucker, to T’Challa himself (aka Chadwick Boseman) had graced the stage. Hear all the details about the epic night as told by D-Nice on his Instagram page, below.
