The widespread lead poisoning in Flint, Michigan, has raised great concerns. Recently, experts confirmed that about 8,000 children under the age of six who drank city’s water supply, which has extremely high levels of lead, may have suffered permanent brain damage. To help save more children from this damage, celebrities have been donating money or bottled water to the city.
However, the scale of relief efforts is yet to meet the need. Yesterday, rapper The Game joined the drive by donating $1m to the city and half of the money came from his personal bank account.
But while making that pledge, the rapper called out top celebs like Madonna and Jimmy Fallon for donating $10,000 each.
“I just figured Madonna has gotta be close to a billionaire,’ The Game told TMZ. “I just thought that the $10,000 was sort of a joke to me. No one else has to share that opinion or feel like that. I just felt like if we’re going to donate some water, let’s donate some water.”
