At the Hip Hop Museum’s 2025 Black Tie Gala, Nas made history dropping a $1 MILLION donation on the spot 🙌🏽 which was immediately matched by Resorts World New York City, bringing the total to a legendary $2 MILLION 💸🔥

The event went down at Cipriani Wall Street on Oct. 17 and honored Hip Hop pioneers who helped shape the game, including Slick Rick, Fat Joe, and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson 🏆 The gala raised major funds for the museum’s permanent home in NYC and aims to create up to 100,000 jobs through its development 👏🏽

Hosted by Yo-Yo, the night was a vibrant celebration of Hip Hop’s past, present, and future reminding us all that the culture lives here, in New York City. 🗽🎶

Nas said it best: it’s about giving back to what gave us everything. 🙏🏽

In a powerful tribute to the late, great Jean‑Michel Basquiat, New York City is renaming a stretch of Great Jones Street to “Jean-Michel Basquiat Way.”

The honor is deeply rooted: Basquiat lived and worked at 57 Great Jones Street from 1983 until his passing in 1988. The renamed block lies between Bowery and Lafayette Streets, in the heart of NoHo.

Born in Brooklyn on December 22, 1960, to a Haitian father (Gérard Basquiat) and a mother of Puerto Rican heritage (Matilde Andrades), Basquiat brought together his roots in Haiti and Puerto Rico with the grit and energy of New York’s downtown art scene. His work broke barriers, celebrated cultural complexity, and spoke unapologetically to race, identity and street life.

For generations, his art has inspired, provoked and redefined what it means to be a visionary in the city that never sleeps. And now right where he created his greatest works we honor our very own King. 🗽✊🏽

🚨 ATTN NEW YORKERS: if you receive SNAP or HEAP benefits, here’s what you need to know 👇🏽

Officials say payments are still being issued for now, but if the government shutdown stretches into November, there could be delays in food and home-heating benefits 😔

⚠️ What this means for you:

If the shutdown continues, federal funds could pause putting SNAP and HEAP payments at risk for millions of NY households who depend on them.

✅ Some Good news:

Your EBT cards and applications are still active.
Benefits are being processed as usual (as of Oct. 17).
The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) is monitoring things closely and will update the public if that changes.

You can find nearby food banks and community pantries through:
NYC Food Bank: foodbanknyc.org
Feeding America: feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank
NY State 211: Dial 211 for local food and heating help.
