“So many of y’all have helped in the aftermath of the L.A. fires…so many of y’all have received help. But there’s SO MANY more that REALLY need your help,” he captioned the Instagram video. “It’s been inspiring to see so many people come together as one to lift each other up, and I just want to highlight one aspect of the larger LA community in dire need.”

“Not enough is being done for the Black families and community in the aftermath of the California fires,” the Public Enemy member continued. “I urge not only Black artists and musicians and creators, but EVERYONE to come together and continue to help those in still in desperate need.”
