Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs on Tuesday provided some coronavirus relief in a Miami neighborhood and handed out $ 50 bills to a crowd of hundreds.

In addition to the cash, $ 50 Publix gift cards and bags of hygiene products were also handed out.

Diddy’s charity also works with music festival and nightlife organizer Michael Gardner and local group Teens Exercising Extraordinary Extra to provide 175 families with rental assistance.
The three-time Grammy winner wore a clear face shield and black gloves as he worked his way through the crowd, greeting fans and families.
The rapper’s philanthropy came a day after he announced the annual New Year’s Eve.
Diddy took to his Instagram Monday to announce that his regular celeb-filled party has been canceled this year due to coronavirus problems.

He shares a text image to his more than 17 million fans with the message: ‘TO ALL MY FRIENDS: in efforts to keep everyone safe and healthy, WE DON’T HAVE A NEW PARTY YEARS!
‘I hope everyone had a blessed holiday and wish you all the best for the new year! [heart emoji]’, Diddy added.
The NYE Party usually takes place in Miami, and Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, signed an order that lifted most coronavirus-related restrictions, including for rallies and the move of the state to Phase 3 of its reopening plan at 25 September.

His annual party has boasted an impressive guest list of guests over the years, including Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled, Teyana Taylor, Future, Fat Joe and Meek Mill.
Diddy also donated $ 1 million and a new Bentley to his mother Janice last week to celebrate her 80th birthday during a sumptuous dinner in Los Angeles.
