Meek Mill has become the latest Hip Hop star to donate to Colin Kaepernick’s “Million Dollar Pledge” despite being incarcerated. The campaign is the former NFL player’s vow to donate $1 million to various non-profits to help oppressed communities across the United States.
Mill, who is serving two to four years for parole violations, is donating $10,000 to Youth Service Inc. Kaepernick has matched Meek’s $10,000 for a combined donation of $20,000 for YSI, whose mission is to strengthen the family unit, help at-risk teenagers and promote child safety throughout the City of Philadelphia.
Last week, Snoop Dogg contributed to Kaepernick’s campaign with a $25,000 donation to Mothers Against Police Brutality, a Dallas-based organization that helps unite mothers who have lost children to police violence. A bevy of Hip Hop and R&B stars have also contributed to Kaepernick’s charitable efforts, including Joey Badass, Nick Cannon, Chris Brown, Jhené Aiko, and T.I.

I’m glad to see a positive black story. Hopefully, kap will get another chance to play in the nfl again. Kap is an american hero. Kap took a huge gamble to do what he did. He lost his career. Somebody could have harm him or his family. All human beings should be proud of kap.
heroes dont live on their knees. he only started givin $ towards betterment after being pointed out a bum nobody.
.keep deletin whats truth.
Kap is a hero. You must be a white person. If the black police, started killing white men then you would have white players kneeling during the flag too. Anytime someone protests against inequality that person is a hero.
