THIS WEEK, IT’S been widely reported that Robert Pattinson – the artist formerly known as R-Pattz – has moved on from ex-fiancé fka Twigs.
The actor is said to be smitted with singer Mabel, if you’re to believe what’s written in the Daily Mirror.
Rob looked smitten with Mabel and they spent two nights glued to each other [at Londong Fashion Week].
They were practically inseparable at the Vogue party at Annabel’s, and again the following night at a Miu Miu fashion party where Rob was trying to be really low key. Their friendship has blossomed from there.”
Very interesting.
But in the words of Nikki Grahame – “who is she?” Let’s find out.
For starters, she is a deadly singer.

She has some strong opinions on the power dynamics in R&B – especially concerning gender.
She told The Fader:
Very often in R&B, men are telling women they need to chill, [saying] “I’m not looking for a girlfriend.” And actually, I’ve been in so many situations with men where I’m just like, “You need to chill!” It happens to everyone. I wanted to tell that side of the story.”
She doesn’t take her parents’ immense reputations for granted – but also knows what she’s capable of beyond her family ties.
Speaking to Go London, she said:
“I didn’t tell anybody who my parents were at first [...] I was influenced and inspired by [my parents’] work ethic, but we kept it really separate. There’s a difference between admiring them and copying them. I really wanted to find my own path.”
She’s playing Longitude this summer.
No idea on what day yet, but well worth checking her out if you’re heading for the weekend!
If the rumours are true, Rob’s a lucky fella.
