Louisville rapper Jack Harlow donating $500,000 to 2 local colleges

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville rapper Jack Harlow said he plans to donate $500,000 to two historically Black colleges in Kentucky.

Harlow and Quavo, a rapper with the Migos trio, won the Bleacher Report's Open Run Showdown on Saturday. Held during the NBA All-Star Weekend, the two-on-two basketball game pitted Harlow and Quavo against rappers 2 Chainz and Lil Baby.

Harlow and Quavo won, 21 to 7, and both rappers received a $500,000 prize. In a tweet Saturday night, Harlow said he will donate his winnings to Simmons College of Kentucky and Kentucky State University — historically Black colleges located in Louisville and Frankfort, respectively.
