Flint, Michigan is currently in crisis and if you’ve been following the news you know that residents are up in arms over the corrosive and lead-filled water in their sinks. The situation in Flint is so dire that they’ve declared a state of emergency. Governor Rick Snyder said in his State of the State address that he, and the local government has failed the residents in Flint.
According to TMZ, Meek Mill, a Philadelphia native, has donated roughly 60,000 bottles of water to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan on top of giving money to the Flint Child and Family Health Development Fund. The donations apparently have nothing to do with the court ordered community service the rapper is carrying out as a result of his most recent parole violation.
Earlier this month, Meek Mill challenged 50 Cent to match his donations to the people in Flint. The dispute between Meek Mill and 50 Cent can be traced back to 4/4, the surprise EP on which Meek disses both 50 and Drake. The EP marks his first collection of new music since his sophomore album Dreams Worth More Than Money topped the Billboard charts when it was released last summer.
