He challenged critics who boycotted Target over diversity cuts while still using its services, calling out performative outrage. Instead of backing down, he spotlighted his real impact: co-founding the REFORM Alliance with Meek Mill, which passed 22 laws across 12 states to reform the criminal justice system. He framed his partnership with Target not as betrayal, but as strategic hustle — delivering tangible change while navigating messy realities. And yes, Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, and Nas were there — but the real message? Stay true to the grind and the results. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
