"Rap God" rapper Eminem has been accused of being homophobic and sexist in the past years. However, what critics cannot deny is the fact that he always finds time for charity, such as his recent effort to help Kids in Need Foundation.
On Aug. 22, Monday, the "Rap God" rapper took to Instagram to ask his fans to donate to the poor children in Flint, Michigan. Families in the area are currently suffering from the water crisis.
In its official page, Kids in Need Foundation said they want to offer a little help to the families in Flint, Michigan. In particular, the foundation aims to send every child in the Flint public school system back to school with new supplies.
According to the foundation, $25 is enough to provide a child with school supplies for the year. Payment types include credit card, eCheck, debit card and PayPal.
Eminem also has a foundation named the Marshall Mathers Foundation. Established to aid disadvantaged youth, the foundation works alongside a charity founded by Detroit attorney Norman Yatooma.
On Aug. 16, Eminem was in Detroit, Michigan, particularly at Joe Louis Arena. He was a surprise guest at the "Summer Sixteen Tour" concert of his "Forever" collaborator Drake.
On stage, Drake introduced Eminem to the audience as the greatest rapper to ever get on a microphone. The Detroit rapper also encouraged the audience in his hometown to make some noise for the Canadian rapper before they performed their collaboration song "Forever."
"Detroit, I love you," Detroit Free Press quoted Eminem as saying during the concert. "I'm out."
Before Eminem and Drake's onstage meetup in Detroit, the two were rumored to be in a feud. This was because of the beef between Drake and Joe Budden, who is Eminem's fellow Slaughterhouse member and is part of the Shady Records stable.
