Tory Lanez has attracted a lot of attention recently for “Quarantine Radio,” an informal show he began hosting on Instagram Live to lend levity to these scary times.
Now he wants to leverage the show’s viral success to help families struggling to meet their immediate needs during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and producer announced on Monday that he’s launching the Tory Lanez Dream City Fund to benefit Covid-19 relief efforts.
The fund is a collaboration between The Dream City Project, which he founded with his father in 2012 to help inspire and mentor youth, and the Dream Center, a Los Angeles-based charity.
Together, they will raise money to provide meals and diapers for underserved families in Los Angeles and other communities nationwide.
To kick things off, Lanez has pledged to cover the cost of the first 50,000 diapers, which Amazon Music has promised to match.
Lanez said he felt compelled to assist struggling families because it wasn’t too long ago that he was struggling himself.
