Master P to Host Louisiana Flood of 2016 Benefit Concert During NBA All-Star Weekend

 

Master P will be home for the NBA All Star Weekend 2017, and it's not just the promise of a good basketball game to interest him: The New Orleans-born rapper and producer will host a benefit concert for victims of the Louisiana Flood of 2016. 

Promising "the biggest stars all on one stage," Master P will host the show on Saturday, Feb. 18., in conjunction with the NBA and iHeart Media, according to his website and a report on Vibe magazine's website.  

"I want all the athletes to come out, we are going to have all the top celebrities there from Usher to Lil Wayne," he wrote in a statement emailed to Vibe. "When people look at the floods and a lot of victims, they are not back in their homes yet in Baton Rouge, and I feel like for All Star Weekend, even though this will be a fun event, it will be a way for everyone to do their part, so this concert will be great for our people and Baton Rouge."

It was not yet clear where the concert would take place.
