Happy Thanksgiving! Celebs give BACK for
Thanksgiving!
Tis the season to be thankful! And what better way to
be thankful than to give back to the community and that is just what some of
your favorite Celebs did!
Al Reynolds and his BFF Jennifer Williams joined Eddie
Mateus for a turkey drive at Ricardo's Steak House (which Eddie owns).
Jim Jones was there too--and also recently said he and
Juelz "made peace" after both their ladies duked it out on "Love & Hip
Hop."
Jim, Jen and the crew actually gave out more than
5,000 turkeys!
BEAUTIFUL!
Also down in NOLA Lil Wayne
& Cash Money Host 16th Annual Turkey Giveaway in New Orleans
Ever since relocating to Miami after the devastation
of Hurricane Katrina, it’s been a minute since Lil Wayne have been back to their
city of origin alongside that of Birdman and Slimearlier this week, Weezy and
the Cash Money CEOs found time out of their busy schedule and took a trip back
New Orleans to pass out turkeys to the residents of the city that would never be
forgotten.
MTV News was at the turkey giveaway event and had a
chance to speak Wayne and the Cash Money Bros.
Weezey said; “It's actually been my first time back here for the past eight or nine years, and they've been doing this for 15 years," Lil Wayne told MTV News. "I haven't been back here to do this for so long just being super busy, just always on tour.”

No matter how many years may pass; Birdman and the
rest of the Cash Money members have always found time to return to New Orleans
and do the same thing for during Thanksgiving for the past 16 years, this year,
however, marks Wayne’s return for the first time after many years and of course,
the feeling is never lost.
“Those times I did it years ago, I was just a kid and I was just doing it because Baby and Slim, we were giving away turkeys at a park and that's what we were doin'," Weezy said. "Now it's a totally different feeling, because I can actually give you that and say, 'Here, happy Thanksgiving.' I can do that, and I can provide that for you. That's a different feeling in general, and it's a beautiful feeling overall.”

Slim, who is usually the quiet one out of the bunch,
even spoke his peace:
“God blessed people to bless other people," he said. "It makes it so special for us to come back home and see a smile on people's face after they received their turkeys and all the other items that go with it. So it's real big and real special for us.”

Even though they’ve reached the multiplatinum success
over the years they still want to the people to know that they can still count
of them and that things haven’t changed.
Birdman’s said: "Knowing we
once were them, so for me to see that they see us hopefully it's an inspiration
for them and something positive can come out of it, because we once were
them.”

It’s good to know that regardless of how much success
they’ve garnered over the years that they can still give back and provide as
much as they can to the less fortunate
Great to see them ALL giving
back!
HAVE A GREAT
THANKSGIVING!
