Young Thug Gives Back From Behind Bars, Sponsors Christmas Toy Drive

by

Young Thug is currently wrapped up in quite a bit of legal drama. He hasn’t let that stop him from giving back this holiday season, however. Recently, the embattled rapper joined forces with Peewee Roscoe and the Nexus Church to launch a Christmas toy drive. The event was hosted at Atlanta’s Trap Music Museum on Wednesday (December 20). It aimed to provide kids in need with gifts in time for the upcoming holiday.

“We are overjoyed to be in partnership with [Peewee Roscoe] and [Young Thug] to serve them, the families and children that will be blessed by this Christmas gifting initiative,” the church’s pastor said. “Giving shows the heart of God and it is our heart at Nexus to connect all with Christ within the community. We hope this movement of contagious unity will spread through the city and beyond.”

Young Thug’s RICO trial is currently in recess and is scheduled to resume on January 2 of next year. Jurors were sent home by Judge Ural Glanville earlier this month after Thugger’s co-defendant Shannon Stillwell was attacked at the Fulton County Jail. Allegedly, another inmate named Willie Brown stabbed Stillwell multiple times.

The YSL founder isn’t the only artist fans have seen put their personal issues aside to pay it forward this year, however. Earlier this week, Cardi B attended a similar drive hosted by the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. The “Bodak Yellow” performer appeared to be in good spirits, posing for photos with fans despite her recent public split from Offset. What do you think of Young Thug sponsoring a holiday toy drive in the midst of his legal troubles? What about the rapper’s RICO trial picking back up in January?

ScHoolboy Q is an artist that fans have been wanting new music from for quite some time. It has been a while since his last project, and you can imagine that fans are hungry. However, that doesn’t mean Q has been absent from the public eye. Oh on the contrary. In fact, the artist was recently at the TDE Toy Drive that took place in Watts this past week. SZA and a plethora of other TDE artists were also there. It was a tremendous occasion and the fans turned out to see their favorite artists in action.

Of course, during this special occasion, ScHoolboy Q had his very own set. It was here where he got to play a plethora of his hits. One of those songs just so happens to be “THat Part.” The song came with a Kanye West feature, and Q was excited to highlight that. In the video below, he sang Kanye’s verse for him, and the crowd loved it. Furthermore, Q offered a message, noting that he would never cancel Ye. Despite everything, he still loves the artist.

ScHoolboy Q Speaks

“I don’t know about y’all but I ain’t canceled Kanye,” Q said. “That’s the homie. I don’t give a fuck. I’m fucking with Ye.” Needless to say, Ye and his latest antics have not fazed the artist one bit. This seems to be a pattern as very few artists have actually denounced Kanye. Instead, most of them have continued to embrace him amid his antics. The new album Vultures is a prime example of this. Only time will tell whether or not that project actually ends up coming out on New Year’s Eve as promised.

Let us know what you think of ScHoolboy Q and his support of Ye, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on your favorite artists and all of their upcoming releases.

Offset Announces The Second Year Of His “Toys 4 The Nawf” Christmas Toy Drive

by

Offset is no stranger to giving back, especially when it comes to impoverished families in his native Atlanta. He’s often teaming up with different charities and organizations to execute fundraisers designed to help low-income families around the city. That’s why it’s no surprise that for the second straight year, he’s partnering with the Ann Cephus Family Fund Corporation for a Christmas toy drive.

Last year’s Toys 4 The Nawf drive was a major success. Offset and his collaborators were able to provide support for 248 local families which added up to nearly 500 children. He referenced last year’s success in a statement confirming another drive for 2023. “We had a great turnout last year, and I’m hoping for an even better one this year. I’ve been so blessed this year, I’m excited to bless others. That’s the reason for the season,” the statement reads. This year they have even loftier ambitions, aiming to double the amount of families they help to between 500 and 600. The event is scheduled to take place this Saturday.

Last month, Offset released his new album Set It Off. The project saw him teaming up with numerous high-profile artists for collaborations. Travis Scott, Latto, Cardi B, Future, Chloe, Don Toliver, and Young Nudy all make appearances on the 21-track 60-minute album.

It was met with a pretty fond reception from fans as well and ended up surpassing its initial sales projects. The album sold more than 70k units in its first week which was good enough for a top 5 debut on the Billboard 200. It was the rapper’s first new album since 2019 when he released Father Of 4. It was also the first new album he released since his former Migos partner Takeoff was tragically murdered in November of last year. What do you think of Offset bringing back his Christmas toy drive for another year? Let us know in the comment section below.
