Looks like Kendrick Lamar plants money trees after all. The “Damn” rapper fresh off his viral ‘Pop Out’ concert in Los Angeles gave back to his community significantly in collaboration with pgLang, Tim Hinshaw’s Free Lunch, and participating artists, by donating $200,000. The cash went to nearly two dozen charities and community initiatives in Los Angeles, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, The Hidden Genius Project, Alma Backyard Farms, and others.
“We haven’t seen this type of unity on the West since we lost our brother Nipsey Hussle,” said Tim Hinshaw, owner of Free Lunch, in an interview with Billboard.
“As Dot said on stage, this moment was bigger than a back and forth; it was about supporting each other and showing the world that we could come together for a greater cause. All of these organizations play a pivotal role in the development of our community, and the hope is that we all continue to support them moving forward.”
Get this, one of the 20 beneficiaries of Kendrick’s generosity is the Compton G.irls Club. Chrystani Heinrich, founder and executive director of Compton G.irls Club, expressed her gratitude:
“We would like to thank pgLang and Free Lunch for recognizing their roots and supporting g.irls from the hood. It’s refreshing to know that Kendrick always comes back to the community to support the next generation.”
Showing and proving is the best way to shut down the naysayers. Check that off the list.
