On Tuesday, Bun B announced he will be teaming up with some celebrity friends and a team of organizers to put on a telethon for the victim of Hurricane Harvey. The telethon will take place September 12 in 3 different cities, L.A., New York and Nashville. Hosts like Jamie Foxx, Reese Witherspoon, Michael Strahan and Hilary Duff will be participating, all of who were born and/or raised in the city of Houston, Texas. One person who will not be invited is President Donald Trump. The Houston rapper made it clear that he is not invited unless he joins former presidents, especially Barack Obama, which would serve as a gesture of unity. Bun B told TMZ, "Putting Trump on by himself would send the wrong message and people wouldn't buy the sincerity of it," adding, "After what he did in Charlottesville, he's not a symbol of unity and it would rub people the wrong way." Bun added that he would love to see Trump and Obama stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Two men coming together for a noble purpose.
