A ton of celebrities including Nicki Minaj, Diddy, Drake, Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, and T.I. have donated a large amount of money to the victims of Hurricane Harvey in Houston.
The devastating category 3 hurricane made landfall in Texas coming out of the Golf of Mexico over the weekend and wrecked havoc on Houston, which is the fourth largest city in the country. By Monday, Houston and several surrounding areas were under feet of water forcing thousands of people out of their homes and into shelters.
On Monday, Drake, who is currently in London, took to Instagram to expressed his sadness to see the devastation done to a city he called his second home. “We are currently overseas in London and all I can think about is how devastated I am as I look at images of the damage Hurricane Harvey has caused,” Drake wrote on IG. “I am praying for the safety of all those affected. Houston has truly been a home to me over the last 8 years. Myself and @futuretheprince are working with local relief groups to aid and assist the people of Texas in anyway we can and in the most immediate way possible.”
Kevin Hart posted a video saying he will donate $25,000 and called out some of his celebrity friends to chip in and by the end of the day, they answered his call. T.I. announced on his Instagram that he too will chip in and help and Kevin Hart’s co-star The Rock also announced that he will chip in and help. Chris Brown even raised the bar when he said that he will donate $100,000.
