Kanye West and Drake buried their long-standing beef last week in memory of Chicago's Gangster Disciples co-founder Larry Hoover (Larry Hoover) for his efforts to get Hoover to release. During the concert broadcast on Amazon Prime, the two rhythmists wore free Larry Hoover merchandise, which can be purchased on the website's fashion website. However, the proceeds of these items do not seem to benefit criminal justice organizations.

According to a report from GQ magazine last Friday (December 10), a representative confirmed to the publication: “Although it is reported that the proceeds from concert ticket sales will benefit some criminal justice reform groups, the profit from the sale of goods has not been The designated use is charity."

It is not yet clear where the profits of the commodities will go. Amazon Fashion’s concert capsules include a $200 hoodie, a $360 jumpsuit, a $100 T-shirt, $400 jeans, and more.

On December 7, "Rolling Stone" magazine revealed this historic concert. The concert aims to advocate and raise awareness of criminal justice reform. It will enable the reform and advocacy groups Hustle 2.0, Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change and Uptown People's Law Center benefited. These three non-profit organizations will receive part of the proceeds from concert ticket sales.

The Los Angeles Coliseum concert sold out on December 9 has multiple uses. After Drake and Kanye West were caught in a rap battle, this gave fans a chance to see them on a stage—some might think the war was not resolved—to learn more about criminal justice And raise awareness of Hoover. After being convicted of murder and operating a criminal empire in 1997, he has been sentenced to life imprisonment many times.

In a report by TMZ last weekend, federal agents were said to be "surprised" and troubled by the decision of a rapper selling multi-platinum records to support a criminal who was regarded by the FBI as the "worst and worst person" .

Larry Hoover, who was convicted in the 1970s, was also accused of planning his drug operation in prison. Since then, he has been encouraging positivity and peace in the Chicago gang community.

Last summer, people hoped that Hoover would be lenient by the judge, but at that time his escape and freedom were denied.

Nevertheless, Kanye West invited Drake to squash their beef last month to help free Hoover, which may be the beginning of their struggle for Larry Hoover’s freedom.

XXL has contacted Kanye West and Drake representatives for comments.
