Atlanta rapper Offset is holding a virtual concert Wednesday to raise money for the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
The concert, dubbed “Offset and Friends,” will feature rap acts Young Thug, Rich the Kid and Saint Jhn and will be streamed on Offset’s Facebook page from 7 to 9 p.m., according to a news release.
The rapper, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, already donated 200,000 meals to the organization, according to a news release.
“As someone raised in metro Atlanta, this event is the perfect opportunity for me to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my childhood and my career,” Offset said in a statement.
Viewers watching the livestream can make donations using the Facebook donate button.
“We are extremely grateful to Offset, Young Thug, Rich the Kid, and Saint Jhn for helping us offer nourishment to struggling seniors, hardworking families, and hungry children,” said Sarah Fonder-Kristy, Atlanta Community Food Bank’s chief development officer. “The need for meals has more than doubled since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the donations we receive from this event will be instrumental in our work to provide that relief.”
Offset rose to prominence as part of Atlanta-based rap group Migos. In 2019, he released his first solo album “Father of 4,” which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance. He is married to rapper Cardi B.
