After allegedly being attacked, former empire star Jussie Smollett reported to Chicago police back on Jan. 29, 2019. He stated that he was assaulted and approached with a noose that was placed around his neck, along with getting a chemical substance poured on him as the attackers yelled,
“This is MAGA Country.”
The Chicago Police Department committed to the investigation, which reportedly took up more than 1,000 hours of overtime, before eventually concluding that Smollett had paid two men $3500 to stage the event.

Jussie Smollett was sentenced to five months in jail on Thursday for a hate crime he was a part of on himself. He lied to police and America about being attacked by two men while receiving racist and homophobic slurs.
Judge James Linn ordered the former empire Star to pay $120,000 restitution to the city of Chicago and a $25,000 fine; he will also need to serve 30 months of probation.

According to sources, as the judge declared the sentence, Smollett stood up and stated, “I am innocent and not suicidal.”
As the actor was led out of the courtroom, he shouted.

“If I did this it means I stuck my fist in the fears of Black Americans for over 400 years in this country, and the fears of the LGBT community,” Smollett said. “If anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself, and you must all know that.”

As Linn issued the sentence, Smollett remarked he was not suicidal several times and implied that it would not be by his hand if he were found dead.

A few of Smollett’s supporters voiced concern for his security if he were to serve a jail term, based on the notoriety of his case.

Before announcing the sentence, Linn remarked that Smollett had taken some “scabs off some healing wounds,” all to increase his status.

“You’ve turned your life upside down by your misconduct and shenanigans. You’ve destroyed your life as you knew it,” Linn said. “You wanted to get the attention and you were so invested in issues of social justice, and you knew this was a sore spot for everybody in this country… You were throwing a national pity party for yourself.”

After the hoax was uncovered, Smollett was written out of the final season of “Empire” and now will face the consequences of his action.

Boosie Badazz recently went on Iron Mike Tyson’s show Hotboxing with Mike Tyson, and the boxing legend asked the 37-year-old rapper why he made comments about Dwayne Wade’s decision to make his 12-year-old child’s gender identity situation public, BET reports.

Social media went crazy with the reaction the former champ got out of Boosie, being that Tyson actually asked Boosie of being possibly gay right to his face in the inteview as the world watched.

How The Conversation Went Between Boosie Badazz and Iron Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson and Boosie started the conversation off talking about both of them having humble beginnings, reflecting on the fact that both of them are from the slums. As they passed the big cigar back and forth, the conversation got deeper, and Tyson eventually asked him questions about his views of the world.

“How do you feel about other people’s feelings?” Mike asked. “Do you think you offend a lot of people? Do you know you offend a lot of people when you talk about ‘gay mother******s’, ‘homos’, and ‘faggots’….”

“No, a lot of times I just need to shut the f**k up,” Boosie responded.

“Why don’t you?” Mike asked.

“I don’t know man…it be hard. My mama got on my ass yesterday, talking about I need to shut the f***k up. But when it be on my heart, I just gotta say some s**t.”

Mike took the older wise man approach, and just seemed to begin to counsel Boosie in a way an uncle or a father would a younger man. “You know, sometimes,” he began, “And I know your mother has probably said this, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all. Sometimes it’s hard to say to myself, I don’t like myself…I didn’t like myself for a long time, because I did a lot of s**t to people…I had to deal with who I am. Why do I say these things about certain people…Why do you say things about a person who might be a homosexual? Why do you say that about them? Do you think there’s a possibility that you’re a homosexual? And by disrespecting them it furthers yourself from being a homosexual? I’m thinking you may like homosexuals.”

“No, I’m straight as an arrow…”

“Well if you’re straight, then why do you offend people?”

Dwayne Wade Publicly Supported His Daughter’s Gender Identity On The  Ellen DeGeneres Show

Boosie said that the comments that he made were because he felt that it was a child, and that he disagreed with how Dwayne Wade made it public. Wade had previously appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and talked to her and the audience about how much he supported his 12-year-old child, Zya, who was originally born Zion.

“Me and my wife Gabrielle are proud parents of a child in the LGBTQ community,” the former Miami Heat NBA Champion said. “We’re proud allies as well. We take our roles and responsibilities as parents very seriously. So, when a child comes home with a question, or an issue, or anything, it’s our jobs as parents to listen to that, and to give them the best information that we can, the best feedback that we can. And that doesn’t change because sexuality is now involved in it.”

Both Presidential candidates took different courses of direction after the final debate. Trump hit the campaign trail immediately, while Biden, according to The Post and Courier, tried to “clean up a debate misstep while urging voters to stay focused on the president’s inability to control the worsening pandemic.”

The confusion came about with Biden’s views on fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, which people in several states depend on primarily to make their living. According to BBC, fracking is one of the most controversial issues and is “the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.”

Biden has long said that he plans to ban subsidies, but not eliminate fracking according to EcoWatch. But, Trump still used the public’s confusion about Biden’s views on the subject to start new campaign ads, and also talk about it extensively in rallies following the debate. Biden, however, is steadily concentrated on making sure the public understands that Trump still has no plan for COVID-19.

Comments on COVID-19 from the Final Presidential Debate

One of the first things the two Presidential candidates went back and forth about was how each man viewed the Coronavirus, the disease which the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported had caused over 216,000 deaths as of mid-October 2020.

“We have a vaccine that’s coming, it’s ready, and it’s going to be announced within weeks,” Trump said. “And it’s going to be delivered. We have Operation Warp Speed, which is where the military will deliver the vaccine…I was in the hospital, I had it, and I got better…now they say I’m immune, whether it’s four months or a lifetime, nobody’s been able to say that…we have the best testing in the world by far, that’s why we have so many cases.”

Former Vice-President Joe Biden took a different stance against the virus, as he always has when compared to the way Trump passively views COVID-19. “What I would do is make sure we have everyone encouraged to wear a mask all the time,” Biden said. “I would make sure we move in the direction of rapid testing, investing in rapid testing. I would make sure we set up national standards as to how to open up schools, and open up businesses, so they can be safe….he (Trump) says that we’re learning to live with it. People are learning to die with it…I’d shut down the virus, not the country.”

Comments on Taxes and Foreign Funding from the Final Presidential Debate

The two went on to debate about whether or not Trump was receiving money from other countries, and they also talked about his taxes. “I never got any money from Russia,” Trump said. “I don’t get money from Russia…I get treated worse than the Tea Party got treated, because there are a lot of people in there, in the IRS, that treat me horribly.”

“The foreign countries are paying you a lot,” Joe Biden said while pointing his finger at Trump. “Russia’s paying you a lot. China’s paying you a lot. And your hotels, and all your businesses all around the country, all around the world…and just show us, stop playing around, you’ve been saying for four years that you’re gonna release your taxes…his buddy, Rudy Giuliani, is being used as a Russian pawn…my son has not made money in terms of – what is this thing he’s talking about – China. The only guy who has made money from China is this guy (Trump).”

Comments on Race from the Final Presidential Debate

The two Presidential candidates then made their comments about race in America. “The fact of the matter is,” Joe began, “is that there is institutional racism in America. And we have always said ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal’, but we’ve never ever lived up to it. We’ve always constantly been moving the needle further and further to inclusion.”

“I am the least racist person,” Donald began when it was his turn to speak. “I can’t even see the audience because it’s so dark. But I don’t care who’s in the audience. I am the least racist person in this room.”

After Hip Hop fans heard that T.I. said he wouldn’t battle Busta Rhymes on the second season of Verzuz, the self-proclaimed King of the South got a lot of backlash, with many saying that he was backing down. The Atlanta MC said it was because of a generational gap, being that Busta came onto the scene ten years before him.

Then, on October 25th, 2020, Busta, T.I. and Swizz Beats got on the phone, and said that T.I. Busta, and Young Jeezy will be in a three-way battle, after Busta said that he’d battle two people when T.I. had turned down the first response.

T.I. asked Busta would he be willing to just play songs that came out after 2001 (when T.I.’s first album dropped), and Busta accepted with no hesitation. Swizz Beats then said that Jeezy accepted quickly as well, and so now there will be history made on Verzuz with the first battle of its kind with three MC’s instead of two.

How the Initial Possible Battle Between Busta and T.I. Began

Fat Joe went crazy on The Fat Joe Show when Busta said that he’d battle T.I. on Verzuz if given the chance. “T.I. is a legend, King of the South,” Joe said to Busta in the video interview. “As a celebration of hip hip and of music, would you battle T.I. on Verzuz?”

“First of all, happy belated birthday to my brother T.I.,” Busta responded. “Second of all, me and T.I. have one of the most incredible relationships, we don’t gotta speak every day. T.I. knows how I stand tall for him. I put myself in the line of fire for T.I. when I need to, because I love him. I love that brother like my brother for real. But the one thing about me that I think everybody knows pretty well, is I respectfully compete beyond description. I sit in the f*****g smoking section….T.I., it is intriguing to me that you have such a concern with New York MC’s. I wanna understand what that’s about. But, from one brother that loves ya, to another brother that knows I love ‘em, I’m begging you to step in the ring with me. Im’ma bust yo ass…”

T.I. soon after caught wind of what was going on online about Busta’s Challenge, and responded that he wouldn’t do it on a walk to the set of his show ExpediTIously. “I done seen all the sh*t ya’ll kickin’ up,” he said in the video response. “Ya’ll messy as hell man.”

“Busta, Bus-a-Bus” T.I. continued. “I f**k with you bruh. I respect my elders, man. I mean, I ain’t trying to be funny about it at all. Just speaking honestly. Busta, you was in Leaders of the New School. I was a fan of them, still am. But I didn’t know we were reaching back, like, through generations! That’s a huge generational gap there, isn’t it? And I have an exponential amount of respect for you. If that’s the case, gimmie Melly Mel then. If that’s the case, I mean I can’t call out Rakim. I mean much respect to you. But ya’ll wouldn’t put Brandy up against Dionne Warwick…I don’t know man…it’s like Mike Tyson and George Foreman…”

In one video, T.I. actually said that he thought the L.L. Cool J would be a better battle for Busta’s generation. He went on to announce that he would battle Jeezy. “As far as my good brother young Jeezy. It’s gonna be an honor. I promise you this Verzuz battle couldn’t be in the hands of a better man. Ya’ll are in for a ride….”

The Generational Gap Between Busta Rhymes and T.I.

Leaders of the New School a group that consisted of Busta Rhymes (Trevor Smith, Jr.), Cut Monitor Milo (Sheldon Scott), Dinco D (James Jackson), and Charlie Brown (Bryan Higgins) formed the group in 1989, and released their first album A Future Without a Past in 1991 under Elektra Records during the Summer of 1991.

T.I. (Clifford Harris Jr.) was ten years old at the time. He dropped his first album entitled I’m Serious a decade later in the fall of 2001.

Along with Christopher Wallace (aka The Notorious B.I.G, aka Big Poppa, aka Biggie Smalls) about to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 7th 2020, according to Billboard Magazine Pepsi also just came out with an nice new animated commercial that features a never-before released freestyle he did back in the late 90’s.

BET also reported that the internationally known soda company was working with DJ Enuff and Cey Adams to remaster the freestyle, which is made up of lyrics that Biggie spit about Pepsi back in 1997. One of the first things that may come to mind when his fans associate him with the brand is the movie that was made about his life in 2009 entitled Notorious. The well-loved Brooklyn rapper was played by Jamal Woolard, and there was one scene when Biggie was talking to Lil’ Cease in the studio. “Yo Cease,” he said, “Im’ma need some Pepsi, and some more weed! And some females…tell ‘em we havin’ a party!”

The freestyle they put together for the new 2020 Pepsi commercial has B.I.G. casually spitting how it was his favorite brand. You can tell he’s having fun while rhyming it:

“Nothing can beat the P-E-P-S-I drink it constantly / Something ’bout the taste feels great, less filling / Tell ’em Biggie said drink it all, don’t test me / Nothing else beats a Pepsi / If it is, let’s see/ I’m thirsty…”

Biggie Makes the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

The new Biggie Freestyle Pepsi commercial also promotes the fact that he is now going to be inducted into the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Although he was shot and killed on March 9th 1997, his music has lived on for over two decades, and fans old and new still love him.

Another person to be admitted into the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will be the late R&B legend Whitney Houston, who according to NPR will be the only woman inducted into it this year. It will be the 35th annual inducted class, and will also include Jon Landau, T-Rex, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, and The Doobie Brothers.

DJ Enuff and Biggie’s Relationship

Prior to DJ Enuff collaborating with Pepsi for this cool new commercial featuring the 1997 Biggie freestyle, he would always talk about how wonderful his personal relationship with him was. For example, several years ago XXL Magazine did a story where DJ Enuff talked about the most memorable times he had when his friend was alive.

“I got in trouble for playing Biggie’s whole entire album (Ready To Die) on KISS before the release date,” he revealed in the 2004 article entitled In My Life. “By the fifth song, I get a call on the hotline, it’s Puff. He’s cursing me on the phone. I continued to play it until Puff came to the radio station and tried to seize the music from me!”

Legendary Music Producer L.A. Reid recently sold 100% of the writing and publishing rights to his entire 162 song catalog, according to The Source. The songwriter, A&R representative, record executive, former drummer and composer has become a household name over the years in the music industry, and there’s a lot of speculation with his decision after the 64-year-old sold the whole catalog to Hipgnosis.

Reporters and fans alike are confused about why exactly he decided to do this, being that he is one of the most accomplished African-American producers of our time.

Antonio Marquis “L.A.” Reid has three Grammy awards to his name, and was also the co-founder of LaFace Records partnering with the legendary Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. The news of him selling the entire 160 plus song catalog during such a crippling pandemic crisis to the music industry as a whole has questions coming to the surface about whether or not money was a motivating issue in his decision. There are others in and around the industry who trust the music veteran’s judgment, and some feel that he is simply putting his classic songs in a place where they can be enjoyed for several more generations to come.

L.A. Reid spoke on his decision, and seems to genuinely feel that his well-loved work is in good hands. “I can’t imagine a better home for my lifetime of music and songs than Hipgnosis,” he said in a public statement. “Merck and his dream team truly value artists and their creative vision, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with them for this exciting new chapter.”

Who Did L.A. Reid Sell His Extensive Music Catalog To?

In addition to selling the writing and publishing of his entire catalog, L.A. Reid will be joining the advisory board of Hipgnosis. Reports indicate that 100% of publishing interests and writers share will go to the company’s song fund, but there doesn’t seem to be an exact dollar amount that’s been publicly disclosed for the selling of all of these classic hit songs.

According to Music Business Worldwide, the Founder of Hipgnosis Songs Found Limited and The Family Music Limited, Merck Mercuriadis, also commented on the move from the celebrated producer. “L.A. Reid has become so successful as a music executive and developer of some of the most important artists in music over the last 30 years that people often forget that he is an incomparable songwriter and the work he and Babyface did together defines R&B as we know it today. It’s a great pleasure to welcome L.A. Reid and his incredible set of songs to the Hipgnosis family.

L.A. Reid’s Musical Catalog

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last three decades, you know that L.A. Reid and his mark on the hip hop and R&B music industry is unmatched. He’s worked with and helped move along the careers of so many artists, such as Boyz II Men, TLC, Toni Braxton, Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, just to name a few.

He’s also the Co-Chairman of Hitco Entertainment, and has served in roles such as President and CEO of Arista records, Chairman and CEO of Island Records, and Chairman and CEO of the Island Def Jam Music Group.

After rumors that he was siding with Donald Trump, Ice Cube cleared it all up nicely on Cuomo Prime Time in mid-October 2020. Simultaneously, he also was able to bring more national awareness to his government-proposed Contract With Black America.

“Chris, your lead-ins are a little misleading,” said O’shea Jackson (the legendary rapper’s given name) to American Journalist Chris Cuomo on the widely watched CNN program.

“How so?” Chris asked.

“Well, the Platinum Plan is not my plan,” Cube began. “I came up with the Contract with Black America. And, I didn’t run to work with any campaign. Both campaigns contacted me. Both campaigns wanted to talk to me about the Contract With Black America. One campaign said ‘We love what you have, but let’s really dig into it after the election. One campaign said ‘We love what you have, do you mind talking to us about it. And that’s what I did. So, I didn’t run to nobody, so that was real misleading to me.”

What Is Ice Cube’s Contract With Black America?

Ice Cube put the Contract With Black America in front of many politicians and, according to one Yahoo Money article from late August 2020, he demanded that politicians sign it before they get the support of Black American voters.

Even more recently, he had what Urban Radio Nation describes as a “somber and serious” conversation with the ladies on Red Table Talk. Jada Pinkett Smith asked him about wanting to do this contract when George Floyd was murdered by police. “I seen that with George Floyd, and it kinda shook me to my core,” he said. “You know, seeing a man face down on the ground like that, and this White officer looking into the camera, just taking a Black man’s life. Having a man scream for his Mama, you know. It just reminded me of stories I heard of when a slave would get outta line, and they would pull everybody around to show the discipline, and made everybody watch, and live that horror. So, I cancelled everything. I was supposed to go on Good Morning America that day. I couldn’t take it no more. I was just so mad, and so hurt. But then I was like ‘Something needs to be done’.”

Cube also voiced on Instagram how he felt that Black people in America should be asking themselves what they should be getting within the first 100 days after the Presidential election, and why if a politician wants their Black vote, then they need to sign the Contract With Black America, which promotes racial economic justice.

“What’s in it for us?” Cube asks in response to what he saw after watching a political convention. “What’s in it for the Black community besides the same old thing we’ve been getting…We gotta start something right now. Democrats don’t seem like they got a plan. Republicans don’t seem like they got a plan for us. So how the hell you gonna vote for them? Make then EARN that vote. They can start today. They ain’t got it yet. Stop playing with these people and they’ll stop playing with you.”

Diplomat, Activist and Former Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Jackson Young, is a full supporter of the Ice Cube’s Contract With Black America, one that “demands an open debate and clear and fair vote within the first 100 days of the 117th Congress in 2021” on the proposals that the contract sets forth to be specifically arranged.

Trump’s team (who is in desperate need of the Black vote) took Ice Cube’s proposal as an opportunity, while Biden’s team said they’d talk with him after the election. Trump’s team decided to make adjustments to their Platinum Plan with some of the provisions of the Contract With Black America blended in. For example, according to New York Magazine, the plan now promises to increase Black Americans’ access to capital by $500 billion, to have the Klux Klux Klan (referred to by the Southern Poverty Law Center an America’s first real terrorist organization) actually be prosecuted as a terrorist organization, and to make Juneteenth (which recognizes June 19th, 1865 as the day slavery ended in the United States) a National Holiday.

Congress would of course have to approve making Juneteeth a holiday, and Trump’s team has not said in detail exactly how they are going to go about giving Black Americans access to that $500 billion dollars amidst so many business owners in lower-income communities who are suffering through the effects that the Coronavirus pandemic has had on the U.S. economy. But, one thing is for sure…Ice Cube has the government’s ear, and both Democrats and Republicans are attentively listening.

Ice Cube Is Definitely Not Siding With Donald Trump

All in all, Ice Cube has made it clear to America and to the world that he is not siding with Donald Trump. He’s not siding with Joe Biden, either. Ice Cube is not on a team with Republicans or Democrats. As a U.S. citizen, the man is thinking independently, and is looking for action from whoever happens to be in governmental power and who is truly willing to put the provisions of his Contract With Black America in full effect.

That being said, he has his Freedom of Speech (as we all do), and always uses it well as an MC to voice his opinions through music. In his November 2018 banger Arrest The President, you could hear that political side of Ice Cube come out. Those hard lyrics in the first verse where he unloaded on Donald Trump were instantly ear-catching and memorable. “Arrest the President, you got the evidence / That n***a is Russian Intelligence…” Cube spits. Coincidentally, the same year that the California native dropped this track was the same year that The New York Times won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for their series of articles on Trump and the Russians.

Also, it was so funny the next couple of lines in the song when Cube joked about Trump’s skin color. “When it rains it pours / Did you know the new White was Orange?” he rapped over the beat that was produced by ShawnSki. Nobody really knows why he always looks that way, but I think Business Insider maybe had the best theory, that it’s either an issue with tanning beds, a spray tan, or the makeup that he puts on top of a tan.

The other line that Cube said, “Boy you showing your horns…” perhaps suggests that at the time the song was released that Trump was putting his most devilish ways on display to the American public.

A teacher in France was decapitated after showing cartoon pictures of The Prophet Muhammed to his classes, in an attempt to help the kids learn about freedom of speech. According to NBC News, the pictures of Muhammed were caricatures, which means that there were “ludicrously exaggerating his peculiarities or defects” according to Dictionary.com.

The 47-year-old French instructor who was so brutally murdered in this way was named Samuel Paty. BBC reports that it happened on Friday, October 16th, 2020 at about 17:00 (15:00 GMT), which is 11 a.m. in the United States. The man who beheaded him was so young, only 18-years-old. His name was Abdoukalah Anzorov, and according to reports he was of Chechen origin and was born in Moscow.

Surprisingly, the killer actually only had small misdemeanor charges on his criminal record up until the murder, lived about 60 miles from the murder scene in the town of Evreux (located in Normandy), and actually shot an air gun at authorities before the police shot and killed him not long after the beheading of Mr. Paty. Anzorov had been living as a refugee in France, but was unknown to intelligence officials.

The Motivation of the Killer Who Beheaded the French Teacher

If by chance you are not familiar with who The Prophet Muhammed was, he was born in 570 AD in Mecca, according to Biography, and is the man who at 40-years-old began to have revelations of Allah (God), which in turn became what is now the foundation of the Muslim’s Holy Koran as well as the religion of Islam as whole.

Mr. Paty had been warned about the insulting pictures of Muhammed that he was showing the students, because many of those who attended classes were of Islamic faith. In fact, according to France 24 News, the now deceased teacher (who was a Professor of History at the College du Bois d’Aulne) had recently been the target of many threats.

For example, a short while before the gruesome murder (one that the killer actually posted on social media after he’d done it, a horrific post that was removed from Twitter and is no longer available online), Professor Paty had been giving a lesson on free speech and was showing his students cartoons from Charli Hebdo, according to The Wall Street Journal.

This is the satirical magazine that back in 2015 had a staff that suffered multiple losses of life from what is now known as the Charli Hebdo shooting, which is when seventeen people (including journalists and security guards) were murdered at the publication’s offices. The magazine has long been well-known for publishing offensive cartoons and literature targeted at government and religion.

Reactions to the Beheading of the French Professor

There have been nine people arrested in connection with the beheading murder of 47-year-old French History Professor Samuel Paty. Many who knew him have shown up to his school to leave flowers, photos and other items as a sign of respect for the teacher. Many of the students told reporters that he was a very kind and peaceful man.

Hip-Hop fans know that Drake and Nicki Minaj have always been friends. And, when she dropped a line on the Sada Baby’s remix of Whole Lotta Choppas that said she wanted her new child and Drake’s son to have future playdates, a hint of nostalgia was in the air from years ago as we all remember how much they used to flirt with one another.

“This n***a making me feel erotic, he freak like Giannis/To be honest, I hope one day we do a play date with Adonis…”, the ten year rap veteran rapped on the upbeat track. According to The Source, Drake was apparently happy to hear the line, because he responded “Play dates coming soon” on social media.

It seemed like they were not on good terms for a good while, especially after Nicki remixed Meek Mills and Drake’s track Going Bad, when she rapped “I turn lemons into lemonade simply, dawg/Ole boy and my brother tryna end me, dawg…” But it’s good to see that the two of them have put their differences aside, and are now wanting their young children to get to know one another.

Drake’s Child, Adonis

According to People Magazine, Drake just celebrated his son Adonis’ 3rd birthday on Sunday, October 11th, 2020. He posted some really cute pictures on Instagram. One was in a room full of black, grey, silver and white balloons, one of them shaped like the number three. “Young Stunna,” he wrote in the captions. That picture currently has over 3 million likes and close to 200 comments so far.

Bazaar reported in early September of 2020 that Drake had also shared some other nice photos of his son’s first day of school. “First Day Of School. The World Is Yours, kid,” he put in the captions.

Adonis’ mother, Sophie Brussaux, was born in France and was formerly a model before becoming a painter. According to Billboard Magazine, she is very successful as an artist, and also founded a nonprofit specifically for artists called Arts Help.
