Lil Nas X’s “baby registry” initiative raises almost $500,000 for HIV/AIDS organisations
Lil Nas X’s Montero “baby registry” has raised nearly $500,000 for HIV organisations working to address the epidemic in the US.
To celebrate the release of his debut album last September, the rapper connected each of the album’s songs to a different non-profit group included in the Gilead COMPASS Initiative®, which works to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Southern United States.
More than 175,000 people have been assisted in gaining access to quality healthcare by the organisations in question, with 13,000 having become HIV/AIDS leaders and advocates in the Southern US through them.
In an announcement on 29 March, the Normal Anomaly Initiative, Inc., a Houston-based non-profit dedicated to assisting Black, queer people, said the project raised nearly half a million dollars for grantees of Gilead Sciences, Inc.’s COMPASS Initiative® COMPASS grantees.
