Rapper-turned-restaurateur UGK teamed up with Kroger to distribute more than 1,500 burgers from his popular restaurant, Trill Burgers, to residents affected by the storm. The first distribution took place at Bethel Family Church, where Bun B was personally present, greeting and supporting his town’s residents.

The event was a shining example of hope and unity, showcasing the strong community spirit that makes Houston so special. But Bun B didn’t stop there. With support from Kroger and new contributions from Levi’s and Lone Star Tents & Events, Bun B hosted a second raffle at the Houston Galleria.

This time, the team gave away 713 hamburgers and 713 bottles of water, a nod to Houston’s iconic area code.

His restaurant is closed until further notice due to flooding, damage and the energy crisis. However, the veteran MC continues to ensure that his city of Houston remains strong during difficult times.

Bun B’s fans are so appreciative of his efforts that they took to his comments to encourage the rapper-turned-CEO to run for mayor! One user wrote, “Bun should run, Mayor! I’d vote for him!” While another user wrote, “What a great way to show up for your community. This is what true leadership looks like! 💊🠾”

As Houston recovers from Hurricane Beryl, one thing is for sure: Bun B will be there every step of the way to support in any way he can!
