According to CBS News, just before the Thanksgiving holiday, “Rappers Snoop Dogg and Fetty Wap both gave away turkeys to families in Los Angeles and Paterson, New Jersey, respectively. Fetty Wap handed out 200 turkeys at the Masonic Lodge in Paterson, where he grew up, to anyone who wanted one, reports the North Jersey Record. A local councilwoman, Ruby Cotton, helped Fetty Wap and his lawyer make arrangements to distribute the turkeys.” Pretty awesome, isn’t it?

On Thursday, he helped hand out 1,500 turkeys to families in need in Inglewood, and took photos with more than 800 people at the event. City officials said that Snoop asked what he could do to help the Inglewood community, and they asked him to participate in their annual turkey giveaway. He helped at the event last year and plans to help in the future, as well.” (via CBS News)
