MC Philanthropists

Published on: 17th July, 2022

As hip-hop stars have attained more fame and notoriety, many have made humanitarianism part of their brand. In a feel-good story this week, The Weeknd flew a 6 year old fan to his Philadelphia show after a Toronto cancellation. A gracious act that the child’s father remarked “I wouldn’t be able to put this last week into words if I tried.”

On this show we’re going to explore the fun history of hip-hop philanthropists.
