New York City kicked off their “Homecoming Week” celebration, which is aimed to celebrate the city’s progress in the COVID-19 pandemic.

KRS One, Slick Rick and Remy Ma performed in the Bronx for a vaccinated crowd of hundreds, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was able to have a touching moment with legendary rapper Slick Rick. De Blasio posted a video on Twitter of him meeting Slick Rick, who took off his gigantic Africa chain and put it around Bill’s neck. Bill was noticeably excited after Slick Rick’s gesture, and he told the camera, “I feel special now.”
