This past weekend, A$AP Ferg teamed up with People of Peace and The Children’s Village to put on the first annual Ferg Health Fair.
The one-day event aimed to bring awareness of and access to mental and physical well-being to his community. The “Shabba” rapper cited his father as the inspiration behind the whole day:
“Growing up, my dad always emphasized the vitality of giving back to the community and making sure we never gave up on our dreams. His encouragement motivated me to never settle and he’s the reason I am where I am today, but I’m not the only one. My dad spent his life helping kids in the community stay off the streets and make something of themselves. He may be gone but his legacy lives on through the people of our neighborhood and all the lives he touched.”
Those who attended the Fair were able to take part in a variety of activities, including DJ lessons from the Jam Master Jay Foundation and Scratch Academy.
