MOGULS BIRDMAN AND SLIM GIVE ‘CASH MONEY’ TO NEW ORLEANS RESIDENTS FOR JUNE RENT

Cash Money owners Bryan “Birdman” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams are contributing cash money to New Orleans residents in the form of rent payments for the month of June, according to The Root.

The hip hop entrepreneurs have donated more than $225,000 to a nonprofit organization called Forward Together New Orleans (FTNO).

“Given the scale of COVID-19 and its far-reaching impacts on the City of New Orleans, Forward Together New Orleans plans to immediately issue checks to the scattered sites to pay for June rent for those tenants who are in the public housing programs, excluding any monies already subsidized by the government and other organizations,” according to a press release received by The Root. “FTNO is The Mayor’s Fund which began as New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s transition committee and now plans to thrive long past her tenure in office, a vehicle that offers nonprofit, partnership support to future New Orleans mayors.”
