American Rapper Curtis Jackson commonly known as ‘50 Cent’ is in Kenya in partnership with the World Food Program to see the effects of hunger in Somalia and Kenya. The star was in Dolo, Somalia on Wednesday, a place where thousands of women and children have fled in the last year due to the devastating famine that has left thousands of people across Somalia dead.
United Nations World food programe said the rapper, has committed to provide 1 billion meals for the hungry, and is donating to WFP 10 cents from every sale of a new energy drink called Street King that he is promoting….In a statement released by WFP, 50 cent said;
To meet those kids was so inspiring, they have nothing, yet they are so positive and optimistic,” What I am seeing is devastating — these women and children have risked everything to come to this Somalia camp, just to get food,” “They need our help.”I want to do my part so they get food and an education. I hope more people will join me to help end this devastating situation,”
wonderful thing done by 50 Cent, other Bragg ass rapper should follow the suit and instead of wasting their money on non-sense, they can donate some percentage in helping the needy .50 Cent has finally put his money where his mouth is. Kudos to you Fiddy .May God bless you.
