JumpinJack AJ Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 News like this never gets old 2 me. It seperates one kind of artist from another. ----------------------------------------------------------- Beyonce Donates $100K to Hurricane Relief Fund Posted Oct 15th 2008 2:30PM by Latifah Muhammad Filed under: R'n'B News Beyonce Knowles is more than just a triple threat (singer,actor, and dancer), she is also a philanthropist. The performer personally gave $100,000 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund. The donation will benefit those ravaged by Hurricane Ike in the Houston and eastern Texas area. At the request of Houston's Mayor Bill White, the relief fund was established to help victims of the hurricane that have lost their homes, property and jobs. The relief fund will also provide financial support to non-profit organizations that have aided in the immediate relief of Hurricane Ike victims by providing temporary shelter and food. A native of Houston, Beyonce is also organizing a fundraiser benefiting Hurricane Ike victims through the Survivor Foundation. Supported by the Knowles family, the Survivor Foundation assists citizens affected by disasters as well as children suffering from AIDS and homelessness. Aside from her charitable contributions, Beyonce will also be releasing her third solo album in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turntable Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 "News like this never gets old 2 me. It seperates one kind of artist from another." You know that Jigga and Puffy both donated 1 Mil to Katrina. That T.I. does a ish load of charity. That Ja Rule has his own child foundation and that he actualy goes to queens and helps out in youth projects, that David Banner does tons of stuff like that. You aint been showing them allot of love..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I give anyone props for stuff like this. Musically, i don't have alot of love for some of them becuz i i feel their music is weak and/or fake. I'd still give them props for actions like that. Beyonce also lives respectfully as a person tho.' I admire someone who dontates and works with organizations like that, but when they have battery charges, drug charges, gun charges and then put in charity work, u have 2 wonder if they are just trying 2 look good or make up for their personal actions. Have i ever dissed someone for getting involved in something good? No. I have for making phoney music that sucks (in my opinion). What's your deal. U and another member on this board like 2 take one post and toss in a reply to twist the topic up as if u are tryna get a rise out of somebody?!?

Turntable Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I was just responding to the fact that you say that something like this is seperating one artists from the other. 100,000 aint much for Bee, and unlike her most of the others dont bring it in the spotlight like this. I dont think its that special, especaly not for someone like her. she probably spends that on a dress every other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
