People who struggled at some point of their lives tend to be the most generous philanthropy the world has ever known. Yes, The Weeknd is living large. And despite all the controversies surrounding his life, he is a good guy after all. At least he is willing to give for others.
With his Ethiopian root, he supports the learning of Ethiopian language in Canada. He donated $50,000 to Ethiopian classic language class, Ge’ ez, at University of Toronto.
Even though most of his songs are not suitable for kids, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about them. Two years ago, he worked together with Ryan Seacrest’s foundation to visit some children hospitals in Atlanta.
And recently, to support one of the biggest movements in 2016, Black Lives Matter, he gave a away a great amount of money. He made a $250,000 donation to this movement.
