Tokyo Jetz, Solo Lucci, basketball star-turned-investor Baron Davis, Chill Moody, K-Foxx and others also joined the movement that encourages the Black, Brown and Hip-Hop communities to stay in the home.
T.I., AllHipHop and All Def jump-started the movement earlier this week, hoping that it would help to curtail how COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting communities of color. The partnership also includes Dr. Arabia Mollette, NYC Emergency Physician, who continues to work on the frontlines of the horrific virus and implores people to stay at home to stop the spread.
Some reports have stated that 1 of 2 and upwards of 70% of Black people are coronavirus victims despite being much less of the population in cities like Detroit.
Rapper Chill Moody revealed his penchant for painting in his time in quarantine.
