Over the past weekend, well-known rapper Kid Cudi gave away $10,000 worth of food from Popeyes to the homeless community of Southern California. During his second weekend performing at Coachella, Kid Cudi teamed up with Popeyes and Postmates to deliver the food to the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter in Indio, California.

It’s great when you see popular artists helping people in need. Lately it hasn’t been limited to just people, with Lil Dicky collaborating with 30 of the most popular musical artists for his single, “Earth”, along with the accompanying video with all streaming proceeds being donated to help fight climate change. Maybe this will start a trend of artists giving back to the community instead of splurging on chains and rings.
