He also encouraged his 3.2 million followers to, ‘CHECK IN on Instagram Live or Will.I.Am’s YouTube channel.’
The event is said to be in the same vein as D-Nice’s beloved Club Quarantine, the virtual dance parties he hosted on Instagram live during COVID-19 lockdown.
The Annenberg Foundation website added the event is, ‘a livestream benefit supporting individuals and organizations impacted by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.’
The event will feature live DJ sets from D-Nice and DJ Hed, described as, ‘uplifting, soulful sets designed to inspire and connect.’
Maurice will also be joined by, ‘local heroes’ who will provide, ‘firsthand accounts of resilience during and after the wildfires.’
The event will also offer viewers to donate funds to support recovery efforts for first responders, evacuees and displaced workers.
Celebrities such as Billy Crystal, Paris Hilton, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Milo Ventimiglia, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have lost their homes in the Palisades fire.
