‘Tis the season of giving! Surprise concerts, bike giveaways and dinner by the next chef generation. Here’s how your fave celebs are making merry for the holidays.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA
It’s Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s world, and we’re happy living in it. They just completed their Grand National Tour but made one more surprise joint appearance, for a special performance of “Luther” at Top Dawg Entertainment’s 12th Annual TDE Christmas Concert and Toy Drive in Los Angeles. Last year’s concert raised nearly $1 million, benefitting local families in need in Watts, Los Angeles. With this duo reunited, we’re expecting 2025 to shatter those numbers.
Legendary rapper Flavor Flav is giving. He joined Raising Cane’s bike giveaway in Las Vegas and helped gift new bikes to deserving kids. He’s not the only celeb to clock this good time (pun intended). Chance the Rapper lit up his hometown of Chicago to help hand out new wheels. And The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Layla Thomas brought smiles to Salt Lake City. She and her co-stars were on hand for a donation of 100 bicycles to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake. Ride on!
Holiday dinner vibes? Tyrod Taylor and Dex Robinson, the founders of DIALLO, had it covered. They celebrated HBCUs with an intimate feast in New York City. Stars of the night? The culinary talent from those institutions who made the meal. Content creator Alex Hill hosted the event, bringing together cuisine and community — right at the chef’s table.
