Logic Shocks Humble Fan With A Generous Offer

by

Logic the rapper is gaining a lot of attention on social media after offering to pay a fan’s rent. The viral moment happened on TikTok, where a fan messaged the rapper to ask for free tickets to his show. In the message, the fan explains that they are struggling to pay rent and could definitely not afford to buy tickets. But Logic’s response was not what the fan expected. Instead, the musician chooses to extend a helping hand. On March 13th, Logic uploaded a video of him wearing a headband and earbuds.

The rapper is more than happy to send the fan free tickets. However, he also appears to be more concerned for the fan’s well-being. In his video response to the fan, Logic assures him that he and his team will take good care of the individual. Although it may seem silly for the fan to ask for tickets in a dire situation, Logic is kind and gentle with him. “F*** the tickets, can I help you with your rent? My people are going to hit you up, let me help you out a little bit.” The musician even seems excited to help out his fan.

Currently, the fan whom Logic is helping has not made any public comments regarding the situation. He is likely in shock over the fact that his favorite artist is even responding to him, let alone paying for his rent. In Logic’s response video, several fans are expressing their own dire situations. While he can’t respond to every single one, he has been actively helping others at a similar level.

MrBeast Responds To Polarizing South Africa Charity Video On Twitter

by

MrBeast’s latest charity video, gifting 20,000 kids in South Africa their first pair of shoes, drew some controversy and even a response from the content creator on Twitter. Moreover, the YouTube sensation is known for his charity videos, of which recent high-profile example was helping 1,000 blind people see. As charitable and good-natured as these videos seem, many online believe that such acts are performative. However, such backlash paired with a seemingly equal number of defensive responses from fans. In fact, the social media star responded to this most recent South Africa video addressing his detractors.

“Just a reminder for those of you that don’t normally watch this channel,” he tweeted. “Beast Philanthropy is a charity we run and all the revenue from these videos goes towards running our food pantries and helping people around the world. Our charity owns this channel, I thought it’d be fun to use my fame to create a loop of helping. Film good deed, inspire millions of kids to do good, use revenue from good deed to do next good deed.”

Meanwhile, people on Twitter expressed a variety of emotions. Many pointed out that these charitable videos just add to more exposure, promotion, and revenue for an already rich content creator. On the other hand, many just took the gesture as heartfelt, effective, and overall positive. Overall, consensus online points in two directions: distrust of his business and content model or complacency with its positive impact. It’s something that celebrities, especially MrBeast, have to handle all the time with philanthropy and speaking on social issues. However, the conversation around this channel in particular is almost exhausting at this point.

After all, he won Favorite Male Creator at the 2023 Kids’ Choice Awards, which is a lot of his main demographic. Increased attention and conversation surrounding his charitable efforts is only going to further promote it, however negative it may be. With that in mind, at least MrBeast is doing something good for others, which takes precedence over any public image. Regardless of your take, check out reactions down below and return to HNHH for more big news on MrBeast.

Russell Wilson Charity Allegedly Only Donates A Fraction Of Its Earnings

by

Russell Wilson is someone who has been hit with quite a bit of criticism over the last little while. Overall, the criticism has come thanks to his poor play out on the football field. For the most part, Wilson was not good this year with the Denver Broncos. He was a shell of his former self, and it had a lot of people questioning his future in the league. However, Wilson is getting a new coach in Sean Payton, and many believe this could turn him around. Although, there is certainly no guarantee that this will, in fact, be the case.

Now, however, Wilson is facing some new allegations that have to do with his work off of the field. As many of his fans already know, Wilson has been praised for his “Why Not You Foundation.” Just a couple of years ago, Wilson was named Walter Payton NFL Man Of The Year thanks to this effort. That said, a new investigation USA Today is shining some light on how the organization is allegedly using its funds.

Per the report, Wilson’s charity is only donating 24.3 cents on the dollar. This is less than one-fourth, and certainly not what many fans were bargaining for. These numbers were reported between 2020 and 2021, although it seemed like the charity was doing slightly better at allocating funds when it first began. “Form 990 federal tax returns from the nonprofit’s inception through 2021 show it reported $7.5 million in revenue and $7 million in expenses during its first eight years of existence,” the investigation reads. “Less than half of the money — $2.8 million, or 39.6 cents of every dollar spent — has gone to charitable activities, all as grants to other nonprofits.”

Wilson has yet to respond to these allegations. He is someone who has taken his image very seriously. Consequently, we are sure he will have something to say about this soon. Hopefully, he is able to provide clarity on the situation. In the meantime, you can stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Gunna & Goodr’s Charity Event Canceled Over Security Concerns

by

Walmart has canceled Gunna and Goodr’s planned charity event where they intended to distribute $100K in gift cards. The City of South Fulton Police Department confirmed the decision in a statement on Sunday. Authorities say that the store was concerned about security for the event.

“As we had been working with Walmart to address security for the gift card giveaway that was to be hosted by Gunna and Goodr company on Sunday, we learned that Walmart has canceled the event,” the department said.

They added that Walmart can provide further reasoning for the cancelation.

The giveaway would’ve gone down on Sunday at the Walmart location in College Park. Gunna intended to pass out $100 gift cards to 1,000 shoppers for the holiday season. It would’ve been the fifth year of “Gunna’s Great Giveaway.” It is one of many charitable events Goodr has partnered with Gunna for in the past.

Goodr Founder and CEO Jasmine Crowe-Houston apologized “for any inconvenience this unexpected turn of events has caused.”.

“Goodr was saddened to learn of Walmart’s decision to cancel the 5th Annual Gunna’s Great Giveaway event today,” Crowe-Houston further said. “Gunna and the entire Goodr team were looking forward to brightening the holidays of the 1,000 families that registered. We are aware of how much the promised gifts meant to those families and we are collectively working to find an alternate solution.”

The event would’ve come shortly after Gunna’s release from jail after he accepted a plea deal, earlier this week. His arrest was a part of the sweeping indictment against members of YSL back in May. He pleaded guilty to one charge of racketeering.
