RAPPER The Game has pledged to give away $1 million of his own money by Christmas after being moved by the story of a boy he met in Australia.
The Los Angeles-based rapper launched his Robin Hood Project after meeting an African boy named John outside a grocery store in Coffs Harbour on September 9.
After giving the boy $20, the rapper was haunted the boy's story, The Game said.
"His story of his families hardships & struggles to get away from the terror they left behind touched me so I gave him what I had on me…which was an Australian $20 bill," he wrote on Instagram, posting a photo of a smiling John with his $20 note.
"As the days passed, I thought about him over & over & over & the only thing that bothered me about that night was that I didn’t have more on me to give to him at that time."
"Since I can’t shake that feeling…I have decided to give $1,000,000 to people I come in contact with around the world every day until Christmas. Don’t even know if that’s possible but I’ve set my heart on trying!!!”
