Maybach Music Group recording artist, Wale, and Moët & Chandon celebrated last night the debut of Wale’s third studio album The Gifted in his hometown of D.C. by hosting the inaugural 2013 Moet Rose Lounge event.

The “Bad Girl” rapper, who earlier in the day made an appearance at David Letterman in NYC, launched the touted Moët Nectar Rose event series with an private black tie party in DC at the W Hotel with a host of friends and patrons. The Moët Rosé Lounge celebrates an authentic sense of style and achievement, and will include a six-city “black tie” tour—making additional stops in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and Chicago (July 6 with host Fabolous).
