Master P is hosting a benefit concert to help the Louisiana flood victims and to help displaced families get back home.

The benefit concert will take place during the annual NBA All Star Weekend celebration on February 18, 2017, which will be held in Master P’s hometown, New Orleans.

“Together we will entertain and give fans a great show but the real mission is to help get families back into their homes,” Master P wrote on the event’s website.  “In Baton Rouge, there is still a lot of pollution in the air, water damages and mildew.”

In order to draw more attention and more people to the event, Master P is inviting other performers like Usher and Lil Wayne, and he wants all the athletes from the All Star Weekend to attend as well.

“I want all the athletes to come out, we are going to have all the top celebrities there from Usher to Lil Wayne,” he told Vibe.

“When people look at the floods and a lot of victims, they are not back in their homes yet in Baton Rouge, and I feel like for All Star Weekend, even though this will be a fun event, It will be a way for everyone to do their part, so this concert will be great for our people and Baton Rouge.”
