Drake is the latest celebrity to join Michael Rubin‘s All In Challenge after being challenged by Tom Brady. In a video shot at his Toronto mansion, the rapper said that the winner will get to fly on his Virgil Abloh-designed private jet dubbed Air Drake. Once on board, they will receive an OVO and Nike care package before traveling to L.A. to party with Drake and friends at Delilah in West Hollywood.
The prize also includes round-trip airfare on Air Drake for the winner plus seven guests and two-night hotel accommodations for eight people. He will also provide the winner with four tickets to one of his upcoming shows in their hometown.
The rapper was supposed to challenge three people, but instead decided to open to challenge to anyone. He explained, “I really just want to challenge anybody who’s willing to step up for this cause. We all need it right now. We all need the love, we need the relief.”
Fans can enter for a chance to win for as little as $10. All the money raised from the auction will provide food for Americans amid the coronavirus crisis through non-profit organizations including Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen, and No Kid Hungry.

FANS REACT TO MICHAEL CHE’S MOVE TO PAY RENT IN HONOR OF GRANDMOTHER – (04/17/2020)
Saturday Night Live star Michael Che is paying tribute to his late grandmother Martha, who recently died of the coronavirus. He shared his decision to pay one month’s rent for 160 people living in his grandmother’s public housing complex in NYC.
He wrote: “It’s crazy to me that residents of public housing are still expected to pay their rent when so many New Yorkers can’t even work. Obviously I can’t offer much help by myself. But in the spirit and memory of my late grandmother, I’m paying one month’s rent for all 160 apartments in the NYCHA building she lived in. I know that’s just a drop in the bucket so I really hope the city has a better plan for debt forgiveness for all the people in public housing, at the very least.”
Fans were impressed, especially considering he lacks the budget many Hollywood heavyweights have. One wrote: “The man just paid what amounts to a 6 figure yearly salary to cover the rent for a bunch of strangers. The guy is on SNL, he doesn’t exactly have George Clooney money!” Another opined, “I’m so sorry he lost his grandmother. He’s doing a wonderful thing in her name. A good man.”

CHADWICK BOSEMAN SPARKS CONCERN AFTER PHOTO SHOWING WEIGHT LOSS – (04/17/2020)
Fans are concerned about Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman after seeing images of him online. Boseman popped up on social media to promote Operation 42, a $4.2 million fundraiser for personal protective equipment.

“I hope your [sic] okay, your appearance has changed,” one follower wrote.
“Dude, I’m all in for this, but please reassure your fan base about your health ’cause even I am starting to be kinda worried,” wrote another.
TBD if the weight loss is for a role. He is slated to appear in the TV series The Black Child and Black Panther II.

PINK COOKS UP SOUP TO FEED THE HUNGRY – (04/15/2020)
After recovering from her scary bout with COVID-19, Pink is giving back to those in need.
The singer posted on Instagram that she made a huge batch of soup to donate. She shared photos of the cooking process and the final products, all packaged and ready to go. She pointed out that she had mislabeled the soup containers with the wrong date, writing March instead of April. “I wrote 3/20 Because I lost a month somehow. Whoops,” she wrote.
Pink recently revealed that she and her son Jameson both contracted COVID-19.
“Two weeks ago my three-year-old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive,” Pink wrote in an April 3rd Instagram post. “My family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative.”
She also announced a $1 million donation, split between two COVID-19 relief charities in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
Pink reflected on battling the virus, which has infected nearly 2 million people worldwide, during a virtual appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday. “This is the scariest thing I’ve ever been through in my whole life,” she told DeGeneres through tears. “It really is just a rollercoaster.” “We are doing all right, we are doing okay this week,” Pink later added. “I don’t even know what day it is but this is a better week than the last.”
During an Instagram Live chat last week with her friend and author, Jen Pastiloff, Pink said that while she and Jameson both got sick, her husband, Carey Hart, and their 8-year-old daughter, Willow Sage, have been healthy.
