MLB Great Derek Jeter Announces Grand Gala Featuring 12x Grammy Award Nominated Superstar

MLB great Derek Jeter, after dreaming for years and working hard than many, fulfilled his dream of playing for the New York Yankees when he made his Major League Baseball debut in 1995. Although Captain Clutch made a few mistakes at the start, evidently, he learned from them, and his career went to soaring heights. However, before Derek Jeter became a baseball legend and the face of modern baseball, he founded the Turn 2 Foundation. The aim of the foundation has remained to keep the youth away from drugs and alcohol to achieve healthy lifestyles and have a chance at a better future. 

Jeter founded the foundation in his rookie year in 1996 and had his father, Dr. Sanderson Charles Jeter, help make it a success. However, since then, Derek Jeter’s younger sister Sharlee Jeter has taken upon the role of the foundation’s CEO. She has been working tirelessly to help as many students as possible to complete high school and attend college. The foundation organizes events every year to help raise money for the kids. And for one such event, the MLB legend Derek Jeter announced a gala featuring a 12 times Grammy nominated superstar.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Derek shared the post from Turn 2 Foundation on his story and announced Rhymes’ arrival at the event. For those unversed, Rhymes is the only rapper who has had 12 Grammy nominations without ever winning one. The singer and rapper is famous for his rapping rapping at high speed with heavy use of internal rhyme and half rhyme, and also for his outlandish style and fashion sense depicted in several innovative music videos as well as his intricate rhyming technique.
