Earlier today, they began to announce some of the winners. There's reportedly been more than 4000 calls, emails and text messages that were submitted as applications for the giveaway.

"I always say whenever something bad happen to me, don't trip, get excited because I know something good coming after that. So hopefully, whoever dealin' with this situation, whoever lost their home. You know whoever family had to suffer from the hurricane... I hope this turn into a blessing," Thug said during a press conference
