“We gotta use these platforms for good. Money isn’t everything but I can take my opportunities and turn it into opportunities to change lives. When you support this new @ceomillionaires collection you’re gonna be helping bring awareness to a problem we have in America. We are using our platform to make a change in a serious issue in America. This new collection is to bring awareness to the elephant in the room. Why ever should someone who defended our country be homeless? For Veterans Day we dropped a new collection all military themed.”
The Atlanta based rap star has been in the headlines before for his humanitarian work. He had previously given a specially equipped van to a family to transport their disabled son, and released a line of “ugly” Christmas sweaters to raise money for charities in his hometown. He is also an outspoken proponent of legalization of Marijuana, and may someday seek elected office as Atlanta’s mayor.
Response to this initiative has been overwhelmingly positive, with social media users saying things like:
