VIBE’s editor-in-chief Datwon Thomas attended the impactful weekend and described an enchanting scene of fun, fellowship, and a rapper’s effervescent love for the Motor City.

“The event was so community-driven,” Thomas detailed. “Such a sight to see him one on one with the public and not shy away from the people. Just invested in their excitement of speaking to him and his spirit of giving.”

One stand-out moment during the event came as a rock wall was installed, and Big Sean took on the challenge. The soon-to-be dad exclaimed, “I had to get to the top, it was like the whole city was cheering me on. I had to do it,” after hitting the top, Thomas detailed.

“That sums up the intent that guy has for the people of his hometown…he does the weekend it for them, no matter how hard it is to get the scholarships and help to them.”
