Tekashi 6ix9ine has responded to No Kid Hungry rejecting his $200,000 donation. The rapper announced that he was going to donate 10% of the proceeds from his new single “Gooba” to charity — and he made around $2 million in less than a week off of the song and a line of merch surrounding the hit.
No Kid Hungry — a non-profit which works to ensure the end of child hunger, said in a statement, “We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez’s generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation.”
The statement continued, “As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values.”
Tekashi responded, saying, “@nokidhungry rather take food out the mouth of these innocent children I never seen something so cruel.”
