Wale is teaming up with PepsiCo. to battle food insecurity at historically Black colleges and universities. On Saturday, November 18, the former Virginia State University and Bowie State University student traveled down to Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida to present a $50,000 check to support students at Florida A&M University and Bethune-Cookman University. The donation was part of Pepsi’s larger $250,000 commitment to supporting students across five HBCUs.
“As a proud HBCU alum, I’m always looking for ways that I can continue to support the community – and partnering with PepsiCo to highlight its donation towards food services on HBCU campuses is part of that,” Wale said.
“Together, we’re bringing awareness to an on-campus issue while supporting the efforts these universities are already making to address students’ needs.”
Wale has become increasingly active within the last few months. He signed a deal with Def Jam, released a new single and headlined a homecoming show at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Not to mention, he recently appeared on 6LACK’s Since I Have A Lover and Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s Too Good To Be True.
