“We sent five planes out to Puerto Rico,” said the Roc Nation boss. “We helped people in Houston, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands, as well. It was only possible because of all you people in here tonight, everybody that donated.”

He then introduced “the eighth wonder of the world,” Stevie Wonder, who closed out the celebration of unity and love, performing classics like “Superstition” and “Love’s in Need of Love Today.” “Yeah, I took a knee,” said the legendary singer. “I took two knees. One was for the unity of this nation. Tonight, I celebrate this night of giving.”
