The hip-hop star's commitment includes the expenses to return some of the dead for burial in their native Gambia, and Cardi B expressed her continuing support for the families still reeling from the city's deadliest fire in more than 30 years. "I cannot begin to imagine the pain and anguish that the families of the victims are experiencing, but I hope that not having to worry about the costs associated with burying their loved ones will help as they move forward and heal," she said in a statement. "I send my prayers and condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tragedy." The Jan. 9 blaze inside the 19-story Twin Parks North West started from a faulty space heater on the second floor, sending flames and thick black smoke through the building on a Sunday morning. The 29-year-old rapper behind the hits "Bodak Yellow" and "Up" stressed her borough roots in pledging her support to the victims' families. "I'm extremely proud to be from the Bronx and I have lots of family and friends who live and work there still," she said. "So, when I heard about the fire and all of the victims, I knew I needed to do something to help." Mayor Eric Adams expressed his thanks and noted donations can still be made through the Bronx Fire Relief Fund, which has already generated more than $2.5 million in aid.]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2022 13:24:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjIBWbGSS1B7LOT5HJgy6HUf https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucF1cWWor9YPv The folks at Charlee's Good Time Drinkery say they hope to open within the coming week in the former Damgoode Pies River Market location in Little Rock, which has housed at least a half-dozen restaurants over the past couple (or triple) of decades.]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2022 10:08:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucF1cWWor9YPv https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucHn9ye8UNv30 Arkansas Festival Ballet artistic director Rebecca Miller Stalcup says she and her dancers are excited beyond measure to get back onto a stage for their first full-length production in two years.]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2022 10:07:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucHn9ye8UNv30 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucCejEQ2Mq9rY Skillet, Tauren Wells, Colton Dixon, KB, I Am They and NewSong will perform in the Winter Jam at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock.]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2022 10:06:00 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucCejEQ2Mq9rY https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/Sa1Rx8eybjKCa6IM31tucClmFkX7M1Jw When we last saw the cheerleading team from Navarro Community College on Netflix, it was in the final episode of the docuseries "Cheer."
