Celebrities continue to do more for Puerto Rico than the former reality star living in the White House.
Rapper and mogul JAY-Z is aiding Puerto Rico though a fundraiser hosted at his 40/40 Club. TMZ reports that JAY is lending out the space for Disaster Relief For Puerto Rico with comped bottles of his cognac, D’Usse.
The event, organized by the Puerto Rican Family Institute and Big & Little Skills Academy, is asking that attendees bring flashlights, school supplies, batteries and solar lamps. Jay also recently provided planes for supplies to be flown to the hurricane ravaged island and is set to perform at Tidal’s Brooklyn benefit concert for disaster relief on Oct 17.

We love the dark vampy look Cardi is giving us with this sleek bun and berry lip.
Cardi B has some words for Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un.
The rapper and television personality recently told Billboard that Trump should be focusing his attention on North Korea and not kneeling football players.
“Why is our president so concerned about what football players is doing when the goddamn world is going in shambles?” Cardi said. “You got this man from North Korea that’s talking about he’s declaring war —which, I don’t know, declaring war on who? Don’t declare war on us. We don’t want that beef.”
She added, “It’s just ridiculous. I feel like all these football team owners, they want to release statements now … and it’s like, [former 49ers quarterback] Colin Kaepernick, he still don’t got a job. So what’s really good? Ya’ll wanna be releasing statements like ‘We support this and that people.’ No, not really, because if ya’ll did, Colin would have a job right now. Like what’s good? What’s really, really good?”
