As with most Black multimillionaires, Jay Z’s contributions to the Black community are often questioned. He’s even been called out in
the past by the likes of actor, activist and singer Harry Belafonte for
his perceived lack of keeping up with his social responsibility. There
have always been whispers that Hov does more behind-the-scenes giving
than most people are aware of. Writer, film-maker and social activist,
dream hampton recently peeled back the curtain on Hov’s clandestine
contributions saying both Jay Z and Beyonce have been giving to the
protest efforts in Ferguson and Baltimore by spending thousands of
dollars to bail out protestors.
hampton, who co-authored Jigga’s book 2010 autobiography Decoded,
recently took to Twitter to stand up for The Carters and revealed they
privately help out on a number of causes. “I’m going to tweet this and I
don’t care if Jay gets mad,” she started. “When we needed moeny for
bail for Baltimore protestors I asked hit up Jay, as I did for Ferguson,
wired tens of thousands in mins [sic].”
