Master P Helps Reopen Bourbon Street After Deadly Terror Attack in New Orleans

In the aftermath of a tragic terror attack that claimed the lives of at least 14 people in New Orleans, the city is working to heal and rebuild. Rapper and entrepreneur Master P was on hand to support the effort, joining New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell to reopen the iconic Bourbon Street.

The attack occurred on New Year's Eve, when a man driving a rented pickup truck rammed into a crowd of partygoers celebrating on Bourbon Street. The perpetrator, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was a U.S. Army veteran who had joined ISIS the previous year. Recordings surfaced of Jabbar condemning music, sex, drugs, and other "evil pleasures" as going against God's will.

In the aftermath, Master P was there to help the city move forward. In an Instagram video, he is seen walking down Bourbon Street, declaring: "I'm out here, standing up for our people on Bourbon Street and in New Orleans, we gonna bounce back. It's nothing but love out here, showing that Bourbon Street is opening back up."

Master P, a New Orleans native, expressed the resilience of the city, saying: "The love that's out here is incredible cause this evil act that happened, it can't stop the Lord's plan." He was joined by Mayor Cantrell and other officials in leading a procession down the landmark street as the city worked to reclaim its vibrant spirit.

President Joe Biden also addressed the attack, vowing that the full resources of the federal government would be made available to support the investigation and ensure there are no remaining threats. He emphasized the importance of the community coming together in the face of such tragedy.

As New Orleans continues to heal, Master P's presence and message of unity serve as a powerful symbol of the city's strength and determination to overcome this devastating event. The reopening of Bourbon Street marks an important step in the recovery process, as the people of New Orleans reclaim their cherished traditions and look towards a brighter future.
