Oscars induct RMD, Kunle Afolayan, and 2 other talented Nigerian acts into their academy: "Well deserved"
CHRON reported that the Knowles-Rowland House includes: case managers, peer specialists, service specialists, and support services like transportation, mental health, and physical and behavioural health support.
Tweeps debates on the intention of the housing project:
@Dee02503118 saw a window of opportunity:
"Well, I hope they pay us to do this work. We social service workers are TIRED and broke."
@hayuhel saw one too:
"I would love to be a mental health therapist. How would I sign up for a job here?"
@neckbreakerxo asked:
"How is helping any initiative useless? If you think Beyonce is not putting some of her hard-earned money into this, its not true."
@CK_DramaFan was suspicious:
I wish people would do some reading and follow the money. They always complain about the government not doing enough and idolise performers that benefit from incentives and pay no taxes.
The project will break ground in October with an estimated cost of $8.4 million.
