YONKERS, NY - Styles P wants to see his community live a healthier lifestyle and has hosted a plant-based food drive in his hometown of Yonkers.
In collaboration with Farma Cares, the Ghost held the first monthly food event with the Yonkers YMCA on Sunday (September 24).
They ended up feeding about 200 people with healthy alternatives including vegan pizza, garlic knots, salad and three different flavors of vegan ice cream.
“We wanna bring a healthier mindstate to the community,” SP said at the event. “Show people they ain’t always gotta eat dairy, meat. You all have alternatives to get healthy. Being health-minded and having options and just thinking different, moving different, living different, and being on the same vibration with each other.
“The better we all do as individuals, the better we do as a community, family and the better we do for our town, and our city. We will learn with each other and we will keep spreading the messages with each other and for each other. I love you.”

Hours later on Sunday, Styles P hit the Irving Plaza stage with his LOX brothers Jadakiss and Sheek Louch for a show celebrating the 25th anniversary of their first album, Money, Power & Respect.
Kiss posted a picture of himself, Styles P, and Sheek Louch huddled together with their heads bowed and praying — pointing to how the group has managed to stay together and maintain a brotherhood for nearly three decades.
“And they ask us how we manage to stay together for this many years [thinking face emoji],” Jadakiss said of his group members.
At their performance, they performed a slew of their classic records including “Fuck You,” and “We Gonna Make It,” to name a few.
HipHopDX spoke to the legendary New York group back in 2020 about their staying power in such an unforgiving industry.
“As far as this trio goes, I feel like we’re special because we managed to stand the test of time,” Styles P said at the time. “Young people fuck with us, our peer groups fuck with us, the elders fuck with us, and we fuck with the elders, our peer group, and the youngins.”
Lizzo has made it clear that she never abandoned her album Love in Real Life.
The “Juice” artist recently responded to rumors that the project had been cancelled after fans expected it to arrive last year. Rather than putting out the album at the time, Lizzo instead released the mixtape My Face Hurts From Smiling in June.
During a new conversation with Billboard, the “Truth Hurts” singer explained that the album itself was never scrapped and is still the same body of work she plans to release on June 5 under its new title, B**ch.
“I think the biggest misconception about my album is that I shelved Love in Real Life when I didn't,” she said. “(B**ch) is technically the same album. I just changed the name. The music is the same.”
Lizzo shared that the main difference between the earlier version of the project and the upcoming release was taking away the original title track, which eventually led to the album being renamed.
“When you change the name of something, it changes its destiny,” the singer explained. “Like, when I went from Melissa to Lizzo, it changed my destiny.”
“When this album went from Love in Real Life to Bch, it changed the trajectory of its past,” she continued. “I do think that I feel like I can express myself the way that I want to express myself right now through Bch. I think Love in Real Life was really sombre and a little bit more introspective, and I think B**ch is a little bit more empowered and self actualised and bold.”
Before the newly titled album arrives, Lizzo has already released the singles B**ch and Don’t Make Me Love U.
The artist had previously spoken about stepping away from Love in Real Life during an earlier interview with Vulture, saying the project “just wasn't what I was feeling right now”.
She also mentioned that much of the album had originally been written back in 2022.
“By 2025, I've changed, the world has changed so much, and so much has happened,” she said. “I was like, ‘I need to do s**t differently, and I don't know what it is, but I'm going to just start following my instincts.’”
