Birdman offers to pay rent for ‘everybody in need’ in his New Orleans hometown neigborhood

Today he enjoys the finer things in life, quarantining with fiancée Toni Braxton.

But Birdman hasn’t forgotten that not everyone is so lucky – and is paying it forward for his struggling fans amid the growing coronavirus pandemic.

He took to Instagram Monday to offer to pay rent for everyone in need in the Uptown New Orleans neighborhood where he was born and raised, with the help of his Johnny and Gladys Williams Foundation.

The 51-year-old, whose real name is Bryan Williams, posted the announcement with a photo of himself and brother Ronald ‘Slim’ Williams, 55. 

He wrote: ‘I would like 2 offer to pay everybody rent for month of May (for those who in need) in residents area of UPTOWN New Orleans where I was born and raised at from mac melph calio and ST Thomas housing also from 3rd ward to 17th ward.’

Birdman called on the Housing Authority of New Orleans and Mayor LaToya Cantrell for their support.

He added in the caption: ‘also wanna thank all hospital on front line Risking they life to save lives.’

The hip hop mogul is currently planning his wedding with Braxton, 52, which for now is still on for this year.

She said earlier this month on the Rick and Sasha Morning Show: ‘We have been going back and forth on wedding dates. 

‘We had a great date but then it was getting too big, we didn’t want a big wedding. Then we said, “Ok, we don’t want it too small.” Then he said, “Ok, let’s do the drive through.” 

‘I’m like, “We are not doing a drive through. I’m not ordering fries after we get married, babe.” We’ve been trying to figure it out, but we are definitely gonna do it this year.’

Birdman popped the question back in February of 2018 after they began dating in May, 2016.
