Gospel music’s coolest crooner Jason Nelson and his wife Tonya Nelson had a stellar weekend. The attractive couple was a sophisticated presence on the red carpet of the 40^th anniversary Stellar Gospel Music Awards in Nashville.  Nelson wore a marron ensemble. He was styled by Felipe G. Felipe has clothed a who’s who in urban entertainment. Tonya styled herself with a charming cream suit. Social media influencer Karlton Humes (aka NotKarltonBanks) ranked the couple 9.5 out of ten. This was on his character Kaya Bun’s Stellar Awards red carpet fashion review.
