YG Is Donating $1 From Every Ticket Sale To The Families Of Police Brutality Victims

When YG first burst onto the scene in 2009, I don’t think anyone was looking for him to become a critical darling and outspoken activist. There’s nothing political about “Toot It And Boot It.” But fast forward seven years and YG is the force behind the most straightforward protest song of the ’10s and a charity that’s donating a portion of every ticket he sells to the families of police brutality victims.

The Still Brazy rapper is donating the funds from his ticket sales via his established non-profit, 4 Hundred Waze. Though the organization was founded specifically to provide community enrichment in YG’s native Compton, tour announcements for his upcoming F*ck Donald Trump tour state that a dollar from every ticket will go to help the families of victims of police brutality. Check out the dates below (And if you haven’t heard Kamaiyah yet please do yourself a favor and download her tape A Good Night In The Ghetto here.)

YG recently explained his decision to go after Donald Trump repeatedly (and why he decided to bring in Macklemore and G-Eazy for the remix) in an interview with i-D.

“They’re the two biggest white rappers in the game,” he said of “FDT 2”. “I’m like, if I get two of the biggest white rap dudes in the game on this “F*ck Donald Trump” record, that sh*t is gonna mean something.”
