The rapper recently helped 100 Black former inmates celebrate their first Father’s Day with their families since being released.
For the special occasion, the Canadian rapper’s Dream City Fund launched “100 Black Fathers” with CNN political contributor Van Jones and his program Cut50, a bipartisan effort to cut crime and incarceration across all 50 states.
Dream Corps and Lanez’s Dream City Fund located 100 Black fathers that could benefit from the Father’s Day gestures of delivered meals and digital music gifts.
The 27-year-old took to his Instagram page on Monday, June 22, with a heartfelt letter to the Black fathers congratulating them on reuniting with their families, bashfully expressing how grateful he was to have played a role in their homecoming.
Lanez also gave a special thanks to Amazon and Door Dash for their help in providing gift cards on behalf of the fathers’ children and “contactless” dinners for the chosen families across the country.
