Entertainment
Rihanna And Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Donate $4.2M To Domestic Violence Victims
BY TALK TO EM DA DON
This week’s artist is our very own comedian WOLFF DOL- LABILL, as he grinds and shines, hosting events and shows, as well as doing shows himself. He started when he was just a kid watching Eddie Mur- phy, as Eddie Murphy made an impact on Wolff and his family as they sat around in the living room watching him all the time.
It motivated Wolff to become a comedian. His biggest influence of all time is GOKU because he is selfless. He puts others before himself while still accomplishing what he wants in his everyday life. Wolff sees that in himself. He is selfless, that’s what sepa- rates him from others in his re-
gion.
And, of course, it is not all
about him. Just hearing strangers, especially little kids say “Wolff, you funny,” is so in- spirational to him and that makes him want to grind even harder. His advice to other co- medians is to just know your style and study your craft. You can do anything you put your mind to do.
WOLFF DOLLABILL has a DVD coming out that will give full details about his life, and have a lot of new footage never seen before. It’s soon to drop next month May 10, 2020, on his birthday and also Mother’s Day! Don’t forget to check it out, it’s lit!
The grind don’t stop, it only gets better from here.

Fund to help abuse victims in L.A.
This move comes in the wake of data that shows at least 90 people a week are being turned away from domestic violence shelters in the area. Thanks to this funding though, these sur- vivors will now have aid to help cover housing, meals, and counseling for the next 10 weeks. Then donations will be given to another 90 victims per week for 10 weeks after that.
