Cardi B Is Highest Charting Female Rapper Since 2014
Bruno Mars brought his hooligans and 24K Magic to Michigan Saturday night (Aug. 12) to perform for a sold-out crowd at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and towards the end of the night he told the audience he’ll donate $1 million to the Flint water crisis.
“I’m very thankful to the Michigan audience for joining me in supporting this cause. Ongoing challenges remain years later for Flint residents,
and it’s important that we don’t forget our brothers and sisters affected by this disas- ter. As people, especially as Americans, we need to stand together to make sure some- thing like this never happens in any community ever again.”
The singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist said his donation will go to the Com- munity Foundation of Greater Flint.
