Los Angeles, California Feb 3, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - The entertainment world is abuzz as Leland Yeshua DeWayne, a powerhouse in Hollywood’s creative scene, makes his highly anticipated return to Los Angeles ahead of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
DeWayne, a sought-after creative force known for his work with top-tier artists such as Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Paris Jackson (the famed daughter of the late Michael Jackson), was recently spotted leaving the Crypto.com Arena after attending the star-studded Grammy celebration hosted by the Recording Academy. His appearance at the high-profile event has only intensified speculation about his next big industry move.
His return to L.A. follows an extended stay at his exclusive residence in Anthem Country Club, a luxurious gated enclave in Henderson, Nevada, home to celebrities like Mike Tyson and Celine Dion. DeWayne spent the holiday season in the desert retreat with close family and friends before making his way back to his primary Los Angeles home.
While maintaining his mystic aura and enigmatic lifestyle, he remains no stranger to the exclusive gated communities of both northern Los Angeles and southern Las Vegas, often described as “…[arriving] in a black Cadillac SUV [on] the tarmac of Las Vegas’ private airport near Henderson [around the holidays]...” (TFD | Oklahoma City)
Since his arrival, DeWayne has been seen mingling in the city’s most exclusive circles—from the elite streets of Beverly Hills to the private social clubs of West Hollywood. Most notably, he was recently spotted dining at an ultra-exclusive members-only restaurant near the famed Nobu Malibu, a hotspot for Hollywood’s biggest names.
Rumors have also surfaced about his recent personal outings, including an appearance at a college basketball game near Long Beach alongside an unidentified guest and a visit to the grand opening of Marathon Burgers on Melrose—an homage to the late Nipsey Hussle’s cultural legacy in L.A.
Beyond the glitz and glamor, DeWayne has been vocal about the recent challenges facing his beloved city, particularly the evacuation orders affecting the West San Fernando Valley area. Reflecting on the unsettling experience, he shared: “I was in Las Vegas when the evacuation order was [issued]. [Coming home] to see a military presence and armored [vehicles] [was] surreal. I’m grateful our neighborhood was spared, but my heart [is with my] fellow Angelenos and the first responders [on the front lines].”
An avid admirer of Malibu’s breathtaking coastline, DeWayne also expressed deep sorrow over the recent environmental devastation: “I cried when I [saw what happened in] Malibu.” While he has long maintained a rental property along the beaches, he remained tight-lipped about its current status and exact location.
Leland DeWayne “...appears a youngster when referenced to the aged and more experienced Recording Executives in his direct category. Beginning [...] his professional career in 2009 during a nationwide, [Def Jam/UMGl] subsidizing A&R Tour; his tenured corporate-level entertainment experience allows him the ability to provide his artist roster with the best possible music business analytics, success-insight, fan base reciprocity results, exterior market placement agendas and [general] career longevity goals.” (KTNV | Las Vegas/Reno)
So, what’s next for the creative titan? DeWayne continues to lead at the intersection of entertainment, finance, and aerospace innovation. “I’m still actively [shaping] the creative [vision for] my artist roster at Universal, [driving] the evolution of new-age finance and media, and [working on initiatives that merge] fine arts [with] outer space through [collaborations] with NASA.”
Whether the focus is love, business, or community, Leland Yeshua DeWayne remains a key figure in Hollywood’s inner circles. Back in L.A., he is reconnecting with industry veterans, government officials, and emerging talent, while maintaining his ties to the influential networks that shape the entertainment world. With access to high-level deals and strategic partnerships, his time at home is expected to be filled with meaningful collaborations as he prepares for the year ahead.
