Tech N9ne Donates Hundreds Of Bras Thrown On Stage To Domestic Violence Shelter

Tech N9ne shows have built quite the reputation for a number of reasons - one of which is female fans throwing bras on stage during the track "Areola." it's safe to say that T9 would've received, well, a LOT of bras by now. And now, we have learnt that he's not only kept them all, but he's done so for a really, really good cause.

Having collected literally hundreds of bras at his concerts, T9 has announced that they have been donated to Hope House in Lee's Summit, in his hometown of Kansas City, a refuge for survivors of domestic violence.

The rapper explained the move on Instagram:

 

This morning at Strangeland Studios with the Ladies of Hope House Lees Summit during our news interview about me donating the bras we received at our shows that we are giving to Domestic violence shelters! They were so nice and thankful! I told them how I was one of those kids that had to witness my mom getting beat by an old boyfriend back when I was in 3rd and 4th grade and how we were always running to a relatives house to get away from him.I told them how at one point we had to run all the way over to KCK and stayed in a house right on Quindaro for a while cause he beat her really bad that time so I had to do a bit of fourth grade over there in KCK at an elementary school called Benjamin Banneker. That was news for even the news team filming! They had no idea that I connected so well with women and children escaping life threatening abuse! This interview was beyond Areola! But look what such a ridiculous parody song turned into! 3Dimensional T9!

Speaking to XXL, he said, "It’s beautiful that what started out as a fun party song with "Areola" at my shows and thousands of beautiful women throwing their bras on stage turned into us donating all of them to the Hope House for a bigger purpose.

"No woman deserves to be abused, I’m glad we could help make a difference.” 

Listen below for the song that started it all.
