Welcome home @TheAnswerMMA
You and your family enjoy your new house brother.
Lights are on.
Bills are paid.
Keep your “My Reason” list close, keep taking care of your people and I’m honored to play a very, very small role in your $7 bucks journey.
$7 bucks.
I’ve been there… pic.twitter.com/rSyC7EiD5I— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) August 3, 2023
After thunderous applause from people around, the $800 million dollars worth Rock remembered his own struggles and his story attached to the $7 dollars. The MMA fighter’s gesture of selling his gear to buy a water well for his village to have clean water also moved him.
However, Johnson continued with his magnanimity. The biggest moment was yet to come.
The Rock shines bright
Once Gorimbo shared his story about moving to Africa to train for his second fight, he showed the small room he was staying in and sleeping on the couch. However, The Rock later smartly disguised him in a ruse and took him to another house.
He then introduced Themba to his new house and gave him a wardrobe sponsored by Project Rock in an emotional moment.
