Nick Cannon is stepping up to support Rich Homie Quan‘s family after visiting his hometown, Atlanta. Using his show, ‘Wild ‘N Out,’ the TV show host raised $25,000 on behalf of the late rapper’s family.

This move of generosity comes after Quan’s family held his memorial service and burial earlier this week. As previously reported, Quan passed away on Sept. 5 while in his early 30s. His cause of death remains unknown, but his girlfriend, Amber Williams, is the person who discovered RHQ’s body in the living room and called 911.

According to WSB-TV, Cannon’s show stopped by Atlanta on Thursday (Sept. 19) during their live U.S. show. At one point during the episode, the cast members took a pause to recognize RHQ and play several of his hits. Then, Nick Cannon brought out some of Rich Homie Quan’s family on stage and presented them with the enlarged $25K check. He revealed that ‘Wild ‘N Out’ fans raised $10,000 and that he’d match the amount. Meanwhile, State Farm Arena reportedly pledged $5,000.

Quan’s dad, Corey Lamar, spoke about his son’s ultimate legacy, per the local Atlanta outlet. “I used to tell him there’s a difference between songs and making hits, and he made hits, and I know that his music will live on forever,” Corey said.
