Trae Tha Truth has once again stepped in to help the people of the city of Houston, coming to the aid of those who have been affected by the latest round of deadly storms.
NBC News is reporting that more than half a million people in Harris County, TX — the home county of Houston — remain without power as of Saturday (May 18) due to last week’s spate of high winds and driving rains, which have left seven people dead.
What’s more, the climbing temperatures and threats of more storms have authorities concerned about others in the area being further impacted by the situation.
Seeing an opportunity to help his fellow Houstonians, the rapper took to his Instagram to offer his help.
“I got people movin’ on every side of town right now,” he said in the video. “DM relief gang with your phone number, your address, and pictures of your house so we can see how much damage has been done and how much help you need. And I’m sending people out all over the town right now.”

This is far from the first time that Trae Tha Truth has leaped into action to help his hometown.
At the top of the year, the rapper teamed up with Cedric The Entertainer to hand out free coats to the homeless in Houston.
“Woke up and Decided to Bless A Few Hundred Of tha Homeless with Jackets and Coats For The Cold on Behalf of my Daughter @iambabytruth @reliefgang,” Trae wrote in an Instagram post.
In a video shared by Cedric, the pair addressed the press who appeared at their donation site.
“It’s special,” Cedric said when asked how it feels to be able to give back while he was in town for a show. “Everybody know Trae just a really boots-on-the-ground kind of personality. Those are one of the things from the very beginning that I found very important being his brother is that his collaboration, the way he really is with the city.”
He continued: “It’s one of those things, we hear to do some great and good for the people. It’s holiday season — lot of love and that energy is what we spreading. I came here to perform and give back. Laughter and jokes is one thing but to also touch the folks is very important. And Trae’s just solid and I was here for Trae Day and we back.”
In his caption, he added: “@traeabn is THE TRUTH and not just by name. This brotha and son of Houston is and has always been a man of the people. I appreciate you allowing me to contribute to the cause while I’m here in #HTown SALUTE!!”
