Los Angeles, CA - The entertainment capital is buzzing once again as renowned Hollywood creative director Leland Yeshua DeWayne makes his highly anticipated return to the City of Angels ahead of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards!
Spotted leaving the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday evening, DeWayne, a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in the entertainment industry, was in attendance at the star-studded celebration hosted by the Recording Academy. Known for his tight-knit collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music—including Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Zendaya, and Paris Jackson—his presence at the event has fueled speculation about his latest industry moves.
DeWayne’s return follows a months-long retreat to his luxurious second home at Anthem Country Club, a gated community in Henderson, Nevada, that also boasts famous residents like Mike Tyson and Celine Dion. Sources say the executive spent the holiday season in the desert oasis with close family and friends before making his way back to his primary residence in Los Angeles.
Maintaining his enigmatic lifestyle and mystic aura, 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 touching down, DeWayne has been spotted in some of L.A.'s most elite circles. From the glitzy streets of Beverly Hills to the star-studded enclaves of West Hollywood, the creative executive has wasted no time reintegrating into the city's social scene. Most recently, he was seen enjoying an exclusive dinner at a private members-only restaurant near the famed Nobu Malibu—an establishment known for hosting some of the biggest names in sports, music, and film.
Rumors continue to swirl about his private outings, with whispers that he attended a college basketball game in Long Beach alongside an unidentified male companion. Additionally, he was present at the grand opening of Nipsey Hussle’s highly anticipated Marathon Burgers on Melrose, a nod to his deep roots and respect for L.A.’s music and cultural legacy.
DeWayne has also made headlines following the recent evacuation orders in the West San Fernando Valley. Speaking about the shocking scenes in his neighborhood, he revealed: “I was at my home in Las Vegas when the evacuation order was given. It was surreal to see a military presence and armored humvees when I came home, but I am grateful our neighborhood was spared. My heart goes out to the first responders and my fellow Angelenos coping during this time.”
A known lover of the Malibu coastline, DeWayne admitted to being deeply affected by the devastation: “I cried when I saw Malibu.” While he has long maintained a rental property on Malibu’s beaches, he declined to comment on whether it remains intact following recent disasters.
As for what’s next? The creative director remains at the forefront of multiple industries, continuing his groundbreaking work in entertainment, finance, and even aerospace! “I am still heavily involved in the creative direction of my artist roster at Universal, pushing the evolution of new-age finance and media as well as strengthening the foundational relationships between fine arts and outer space through partnerships with NASA.”
