KFC and Jack Harlow announced their collaboration with the aim of helping to provide relief for people affected by the deadly tornadoes in Kentucky, U.S.A.

Harlow is an American rapper and songwriter who is also a native of the said state that was recently hit by multiple tornadoes. He teamed up with Kentucky Fried Chicken for an important cause and this was revealed a day before his “No Place Like Home” concert was to take place in his hometown state on Dec. 14, as per Variety.

Fans were promised a concert and activities that will be full of surprises and these will be carried out over the course of the next year. Before the concerts officially begin, Harlow and KFC’s parent company, Yum! Brands will be forwarding a donation to the American Red Cross amounting to $250,000.

The cash is intended to help with relief efforts that were hit by the tornadoes on Dec. 11. Customers of KFC and fans of Jack Harlow are also encouraged to donate and they can offer help through www.kfc.us/tornadorelief.

"Growing up, I always dreamed of being that guy who would put Kentucky on the map in the music scene,” the artists said in a press release. “But to team up with an iconic national staple like KFC, the biggest brand to come out of Kentucky, is truly an honor. I'm looking forward to all the amazing things we're about to do together."

At any rate, QSR Magazine reported while some fans may be expecting that Jack Harlow may dress up as KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders at some points of his activities with the restaurant chain, it was confirmed that he will not be portraying the famous personality in any way. The company said that the artist’s constant presence in support of its fried chicken brand is what everyone can look forward to during the partnership.

Finally, fans and customers can expect more activities from KFC and Jack Harlow’s team-up. Everyone can check out updates on “What's Poppin from KFC x Jack Harlow” events through the fast-food chain’s social media accounts, KFC app, and emails.
