The “Big Energy” hitmaker donated over $500,000 in gifts from brands she worked with recently, including UGG, Savage x Fenty, Apple, Liquid Death, Wingstop, Rap Snacks, HALLS, Camille Rose and more. This hefty donation was twice the amount she contributed a year prior.

The proceeds were presented by her Win Some Give Some foundation. Established in 2021, the organization lends a helping hand to at-risk youth, providing them with resources and self esteem support to achieve a lifetime of equal opportunity and success. 

“We are ecstatic to bring back Christmas in Clayton for the third time. This event allows us to give back to Clayton County residents and children just in time for the holidays.”

— District 1 Commissioner Dr. Alieka Anderson

Anderson thanked the rapper as the two greeted children and gave away toys at the Clayton State University Gymnasium. 

“Words cannot express how amazing it is to have Latto return to Clayton County to help spread some holiday cheer throughout our community. Her generosity is sincerely appreciated for our children and our community.”

— District 1 Commissioner Dr. Alieka Anderson

Sticking with the Christmas vibes, Latto also gave her fans new music. Teaming up with rising Florida rapper Luh Tyler to drop her single “Grinch Freestyle”.

Christmas will never be the same, as R&B songstress Brandy is set to release a collection of songs this holiday season. A&R executive Jaha Johnson took to social media to reveal the singer's next project, while also dropping a possible hint at the title for the upcoming festive album: 'A Brandy Christmas.'

Further examination of the whiteboard in the clip also provides a glimpse of how many songs could be included on the LP. Ramsey can be seen placing 11 titles on the board as he attempts to arrange them in order. Fans can also spot some of the potential track titles from the holiday album. The introduction appears to be called “Feels Different,” while the second track is titled “Celebrate My Baby.”

While a date for the Christmas album wasn’t given, it could coincide with Brandy’s next film. In March 2022, Brandy revealed she is set to star in Netflix’s original film, Best. Christmas. Ever.

The comedy directed by Mary Lambert will feature the singer playing the role of Jackie, a woman with a seemingly perfect life. However, when a 'twist of fate' unexpectedly reconnects Jackie with her old college friend, Charlotte (Heather Graham), just before Christmas, Charlotte is determined to prove that Jackie's life isn't as spectacular as it seems. Her attempts to expose Jackie end up doing more harm than good, and Christmas is nearly ruined. It's up to the two of them to right the wrongs. The film also stars Jason Biggs from Orange Is The New Black and Matt Cedeno from 'Power.' Best. Christmas. Ever is scheduled to be released on Netflix on November 16, 2023.
