There will always be haters, but how can you hate on Kanye West now?
The sensational rap superstar and MTV’s own Sway Calloway recently visited three young veterans who just arrived home from Iraq. Kanye and Sway surprised them at their homes and were there to listed to the stories of these soldiers. MTV captured these moments and will air them on July 28th. I will def. be watching.
And you know what’s the coolest part? On behalf of MTV and the Dr.Donda West Foundation, the guys paid off the debts of each veteran and took care of their rent/tuition. I think that’s a beautiful gift. Hell, I’ll probably shed some tears when I watch this. Kanye released a statement:
“There are hundreds of veterans out there who are falling through the cracks. They make the ultimate sacrifices for us by laying down their lives, but it seems like a lot of them just get forgotten about. I know my music inspires and helps a lot of people, but you can always do more. I teamed up with MTV and took the opportunity to share the spotlight with these veterans and hear their stories. I went to their homes to listen and get their firsthand experiences. I wanted to hear their stories.”
Well put Kanye, well put.
