In proving that, his Symphonic Love foundation did its part to aid those in need, when he launched an initiative to donate 1,000 pairs of free sneakers to deprived children in the California area, spending his entire day (July 20th) meeting with those he set out to help.

While there, he caught up with ‘Hollywood Life’ for an exclusive interview, which saw him reveal his feelings towards the Trayvon Martin case, and why he’s chosen not to rekindle his relationship with ‘Rogue’ belle Rihanna.

While performing set-closer ‘Halo’ at the Montreal stop of ‘The Mrs. Carter Show’ last night, the diva’s luscious locks became entangled in her trademark wind-machine. What followed was a vocally on-point, yet super “static” rendition of the track.
