On Instagram, Ross revealed that members of his own family were also at the event.
“Once again, I wanna commend you for all the great work you are doing, You are making it much easier for brothers to come back and give back because a lot of times a lot of technical things going on, but you kept it simple; so we are right here.” – said he.
“We invited a lot of families out, man, and I just wanted to thank you,” rapper added.
