WHERE IS THE LOVE?
The Black Eyed Peas are calling for an end to violence with a fresh take on their ultimate unity anthem, “Where Is The Love?”
The popular hip-hop group reunited and teamed up with a slew of stars to produce a new version of their beloved 2003 hit in response to the horrifying terrorist attacks and wave of police-involved violence that has plagued the world in recent months.
Big names such as Usher, Justin Timberlake, Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Ty Dolla $ign, Nicole Scherzinger, Jaden Smith and many others collaborated with the famous foursome to provide vocals and other contributions to the updated track, which also features new lyrics in response to the world’s current tribulations.
The proceeds for “#WHERESTHELOVE” will go to the foundation of will.i.am’s i.am.angel.
The charity funds educational programs and college scholarships.

“PULL´EM UP” CAMPAIGN IN THE USA (B2)
New York Senator Eric Adams is receiving a lot of backlash for Stop the Sag campaign, especially from the fashion industry.
Even Obama thinks it’s a waste of time way before this whole campaign started! He told MTV before winning the election:
“Here is my attitude: I think people passing a law against people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time.…Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What’s wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face, that you don’t have to pass a law, but that doesn’t mean folks can’t have some sense and some respect for other people and, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear — I’m one of them.”
What do U think? Is the saggy pants campaign a waste of time (and money)???
