Earlier this year it was announced that the NBA’s 2017 All-Star Weekend was moved from Charlotte to New Orleans. And one New Orleans native that plans to make the best of that weekend is none other than Master P.
According to Vibe, the 49-year old music mogul announced that he will be putting on a benefit concert with tons of our favorite artists. The proceeds will help those who were affected by flooding in Baton Rouge, back in August.
The flooding left a total of 11 people dead, and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed. According to the Red Cross, the flooding in Baton Rouge was the worse natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy.
Master P said in a statement, “Together we will entertain and give fans a great show but the real mission is to help get families back into their homes. In Baton Rouge, there is still a lot of pollution in the air, water damages and mildew. I want all the athletes to come out; we are going to have all the top celebrities there from Usher to Lil Wayne. When people look at the floods and a lot of victims, they are not back in their homes yet in Baton Rouge, and I feel like for All Star Weekend, even though this will be a fun event, It will be a way for everyone to do their part, so this concert will be great for our people and Baton Rouge.”
Thumbs up to Master P for using his power to help those in need.
