NBA YOUNGBOY DONATES TO DALLAS NONPROFITS TO HELP FIGHT GUN VIOLENCE

NBA YoungBoy kicked off his Make America Slime Again Tour in Dallas with a major act of giving. The rapper donated $50,000 to two local nonprofits—Urban Specialists, which works to reduce gang violence, and Manifest Freedom, a group helping formerly incarcerated people rebuild their lives.

“You know, a lot of people be getting hurt, so it ain’t really cool at this point to me, so I just want to help in any way I [can],” he told WFAA.
