The rapper teamed up withย Crowdrise to benefit the children exposed to the toxic Flint water. Proceeds of the fundraiser will also benefit the Community Foundation ofย Greater Flint Michigan.

โ€œI am devastated by the water crisis that has put the entire city of Flint in a state ofย emergency,โ€ saidย Big Sean in a press statement. โ€œIn recognizing the great work that the Community Foundation of Greater Flint Michigan has been doing, it is my hope we can help by raising the money needed to ensure that the children who have been hit the hardest receive the care that they need today and well into the future.โ€
