Kanye West has made a $2 million donation to support the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, a representative for West told CNN.
The donation includes funding for legal fees for Arbery and Taylor's families, along with black-owned businesses in crisis in his native Chicago and other cities.West's representative said he established a 529 education plan to fully cover college tuition for Gianna Floyd, the 6-year-old daughter of George Floyd.'use strict';CNN.Videx=CNN.Videx || {};CNN.Videx.mobile={};CNN.INJECTOR.executeFeature.then {CNN.VideoPlayer.
Mother of Floyd's daughter: She wants to know how he died 03:06West's donation comes in the wake of mass protests across the country following the deaths. Many voices in entertainment are calling for an end to systematic racism, police brutality and action from political leadership. Three of the Minneapolis Police officers arrested in Floyd's death make their first court appearance Thursday afternoon, as the Floyd family holds the first of several planned memorial services.
Nice gesture👍🏿😊
Just saw Michael Jordan is donating $100M to promote racial equality! Now that’s worthy of a Huge story and headline!!!
Bless you Kanye 🙏
Oh you guys don’t hate him for this? Thought he was evil..
2 million? Thats a very low number. Thats peanuts for Kanye, he needs to increase it.
But fuck Kanye, right?
Did those people actually get the money?
He should stop supporting trump.
♥️your actions!!👏🏾👏🏾
I don't care if he donates 100 million. As long as he supports tRump and tRump's message, he can go away.
Now THAT is how you have a positive impact.
Never forget Kanye said slavery was a choice. And he continuously supports Trump. This money means nothing in the grand scheme of who he is
what about david dorn,david underwood and others killed by so called protesters?
He's just trying to buy back his soul. Not to be trusted.
This❤️
White.
That’s very kind 🙌🏼
Then he sent $10 million to Trump campaign.
That’s awesome Kanye. You’re a kind, compassionate and thoughtful man. God bless you. ❤️🇺🇸
let’s throw money at the problem see if that works
Mississippi right now
The mental gymnastics he must endure to support Trump and blacklivesmatter at the same time.
Long live Mr Kanye west
He also backs the racist baby in the W/H
But will probably still support and donate to Trump.
I will start believing that this isn’t just a publicity stunt once I see him kneel during the national anthem. That would display a real stand against the current political regime in the US. Mr tRump would love it 😉
F**k kanyewest
I just wanted to make people all over the world think that this flight for freedom and flight against racism isn't over we can't just sweep it under the carpet or that the powers that be makeup a distraction so that we take our eyes off the real problems like racism.
Thanks
Same Kanye we're talking about?

PLANS FOR RALLY IN VIDOR, TEXAS (a Sundown Town) IN HONOR OF GEORGE FLOYDS MEMORY! I just hope cameras are rolling! They'll need them! MSNBC BBCWorld ABC
Good on kanye
❤
Tha t is because he is a political cunt with money... I bet that was between the time he wiped DT’s ass and when he jumped on stage to take the microphone away from a female teenager about to win a major award... such a class act (I’m so sorry I said political)
I love Kanye but probably not as much as Kanye loves Kanye
Good
is FAKE NEWS
Thanks and praise!
While all these Celebrities raising money...Kanye is giving money to those families. Kanye is a Real Celebrity.
Thank you kanyewest ... Thank you for remembering the people. PowerToThePeople NoJusticeNoPeace BlackLivesMatter
Actions speak louder than words. Thank you, Kanye🙏
but how much did he give to Chump?
Good for him. Thank you Kanye.
Is this the only way for this IDIOT to get headlines
Very munch indeed keny west for paying tution feees for Floyd daughter
Well done Kanye for supporting victims and not criminals like all these other celebs raising fund to bail out rioters... open ur eyes ppl
Kind of Kanye but perhaps a few words in regards to Trump the Unready's actions regarding covid19 and the attacks on the protesters would carry more weight with minorities. SPEAK UP KANYE.
He’s still a douchebag.
only in America, can a guy driving around on fentanyl, that could have ran over an innocent person, suddenly be a national hero..
bambooney Finally kanye does something sane for once
Koonye trump ass kisser.
What about the other victims families just for Publicity he is saying he is not black but green and look at me not about u Kanye ur married to white Oprah BarackObama JoelOsteen JoeBiden didn’t he say trump his daddy HouseDemocrats RepJeffries donlemon play the tape trump
DavidDorn
wonderful. we need to see more of this.
I like how if he was a left winger, the reactions here woule be the polar opposite. But no, because he's got the wrong politics, he's suddenly an evil evil man, regardless of donating 2 millions. Go ahead and post your black squares and tell everyone how much you're helping.
If you're here, go stream College Dropout
RECEIPTS PLEASE
This is what celebrities should be doing.
People need to stop buying his shoes. They have already stopped buying his music. He supports Trump.
🙏
The Real MVP
Ahhh next stop supporting Trump
Taylor shift done more than this Muppet..
AND...... WANT A COOKIE!!! Scaramucci MSNBC_Breaking uncleruckus kanyewest
EQUALITY.. Forget these so called rappers and hip hop stars CRAWLING OUR OF THEIR ROCKS.. please I URGE POLICE IN USA TO ARREST THEM FOR INCITING VIOLENCE.. they are not us the are SELL OUTs who kept quite while Americans murdered..Stand Firm ..
He can go f himself
Kanye west IS A HYPOCRITE AND A TRUMP SUPPORTER.... THIS IS DONE PURELY FOR HIS OWN SELF PROMOTION GFY KANYE GFY
That’s putting your money where your mouth is. Very honorable!
That’s a lie. Tell him to prove it
To late he should have put a simple knee down screw KanyeWest cash blacklifematters
This guy was not the one that supports Trump?
🖕
Brothers been getting killed in the chi and he just coming home LAY DOWN DUDE
Well done but speak out against the injustice in America against blacks,
donalds gonna claim that as him helping Blacks
Anything for media attention.. kim and kanye theres special place in hell only for u two
Don't believe trumpers !!!!
Well done dude
Pouring money doesn't make you a better person. Start by apologizing to the black community for supporting a vile racist man.
That's great, now how about a donation to organizations that combat the Black on Black murders in the south side.
What a guy. Took me 8 deployments and 20 years to pay for my daughters colllege. Must be nice. Kanye is a good man.
Where the hell has Kanye been?
Kanye still a sellout and a RACETRADER ☥FIN☥
I'm not a fan... but I have to give Kanye credit for such a thoughtful act of generosity. I hope it makes a massive difference for these people. 3
The greatest
But I thought he wanted to MAGA
How about he renounce his love and support for Trump.
He got a trust fund for the kid, donated 2million bucks, sounds pretty noisy to me though 🙂.....
Did trump give him permission to do this?!
Wasn’t he pro MAGA?
Well done Mr. West!
Black card lost
But he supports Trump.
I hate your politics kanye but I can respect this.
It’s all about Kanye...
I could donate that money to charity, but I'd rather put on a show
Democrats and their donors are donating money for looters to destroy and loot black owned businesses and get them our from jail, But Kanye west the Trump supporter is donating to bring back the businesses democrats are destroying, Thank you West
A man does a good act and you all flog him for his choice of who he politically follows. I guess everyone thinks this didn’t happen under other presidents. Do the names Treyvon, Ferguson and Obama all bypass people’s minds? This isn’t about political party it’s about humanity
That’s it?
'a representative for West says' 🙄 Bitch can't even say something himself.
Hey CNN, I watch you every night but how about you tell Georgia that you are moving out unless they have a hate crime bill/legislation? If not, I’m done with !
Darryl_Forges Would be nice if he donated a few bucks to the pregnant black woman George Floyd pistol whipped in her house during a home invasion with four of his buddies.
And how many millions to Trump's campaign?
Chicago takes Care of their Own.....Thank You KW.....Taylor swift is Shifty 😉
Blood money
Great job Kanye!!! MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Blah blah blah he’s a Trump Lover
Man people are being such assholes about him, even if he does a nice thing. He didn't have to do shit you know.
And he support trump
Used to like this guy. He doesn't walk the talk anymore.
This is a great and generous gesture, but it somehow feels hollow considering he is an avid Trump enthusiast. protest2020 VoteTrumpOut2020
loottrump
Really incredible. I wish I could have been sitting there today at the servie
Don’t throw your money at this kanyewest That is the easy thing to do. Use your gift of speech and rap, and condemn Trump, his cronies and the police. That will be more powerful than your $2m loose change. Then get your PR agency involved.
Check out what the great, late Little Richard did!!
Now that what I am talking about MrWest!!!!!! I can finally support you 110% on something!!! Southside Homeboy!!!
Kanye does something and people are still going to complain below: 👇
Stop purchasing his merchandise. Period!!!! He knows you people are gonna make him way more money by still supporting his businesses.Disgusting
Probably come out and say done in Trump's honor.
West and tr have loads in common. 1. Love money. 2. Married pornstars. 3. Don't worry about ordinary people.
Great guy and a wonderful Trump supporter too!
Kanye is a nut case but this is a very nice thing he did.
How much of the 2 million came from poor people who were bamboozled by Kanye and Joel Osteen?
But he ADORES trumpet
Yes if you don't like him you can give the money to me
Respect!
Who asked this self hating negroe for any any help?
newschambers I'm not impressed
Denounce 45 koonye
Nice! Thank you
why cant kanyewest help white business that a broken because rioters and looters in his native Chiago another racist in an expansive suit .................
🤣😂🤣😂 that's a pr investment. GTFOH with that
Finally he does something that isn’t a circus! Yet...
this man has helped countless number of underprivileged people in the hood and the only thing people say is he supports trump... Put some respect on his name 💯. Also there was a report that he was a trump supporter just to get some people out of prison so y’all need to stfu.
and how much to RemoveTrumpNow and the Republican Party?
🙏❤️
HALLELUYER! He’s back on his MEDS!
Now you want to support the black community, what happen to you loving Donald Trump and sporting the maga hat, remember when you said that if he don't look good 'we', don't look good, well Mr west look at how Trump ' made America great again' not a good look at all for any of us.
SpikeLeeJoint kanyewest drop a few bucks for the victims in Chicago’s black on black murders. For goodness sakes no ones gonna be left there soon.
Yet, he supports the guy who sent military tanks to kill people of color. Interesting hypocrisy!
Kanye donates $2 mils, its gonna support floyds family, put daughter through college, and gonna help small black owned businesses!? Big fucking statement there. What Trump derangement syndrome people see: he wears MAGA hats. Uncle TOM ... for once give credit, where there is.
That’s nice, but he still crazy as hell
kanyewest Minor. At least it's something. You've unfortunately marked yourself for life with your support of the cancer plaguing 🇺🇸. Don't think the black/brown community will forgive who you stand for. Imagine they can't see how/why you are a republican. vote Biden
But.....is he still MAGA?
He still not coming to the cookout! 😎
He can go to hell with his donation. He thinks he can buy his way out. You are the devil’s supporter and have no place among angels
He speaks on police brutality and racial injustice on every album. He donates $2 million and people still find a way to hate
This means literally nothing until kanyewest stops publicly supporting Donald Trump and instead condemns him.
West wearing his MAGA hat
Let's see if they receive the help...
TeamKanyeDaily oldmanebro
tRump is going to befriend you and your followers will unfollow you.
kanyewest 2024
He also supports trump...so no amount of money negates the harm of that
He must be on his meds again. Good for him!
TeamKanyeDaily Goat
Thats great but how much did he donate to the racist sadistic rapist Trump?
Typical Trump move. Throw money at a problem. Ye's in the unique position of having the ears of the President and the black community and his response is to have his Representative annouce that all Billionaire West is going to do is drop a couple mil 4 the people that made him
Say his name, David Dorn.
Stop supporting the racists in the White House. Then I’ll be a little impressed.
Finally 😂 wondered when this clown would show up, never too late though maybe help clean his image after supporting TRUMP and saying slavery is choice 🤷♂️ or maybe he just felt left out lol
KNeferhetep Nobody : Trump : FAKE NEWS!!
Now do celebrities fronting bail money for terrorists.
How much he donate to 45 re-election campaign tho?
Trump boy
40,000 Virgils.
Show us the receipt
Next move stop supporting the races in chief I mean the nothing forget it
Kanye betrayed America when he praised Trump in the WH. This is just appeasement for his stupidity.
But not this family ? Oh yes he is white !
MAGA people care.
👍👍
Dump Trump while you at it
Drop in the bucket
It’s funny that it’s the Democratic states/cities that created this mess to begin with.They’re the ones who let bad cops slide.Then cheer on the protesters while posturing the police against them in the streets. It’s like one big set up. Wake up.
MAGA!
Why?
That was decent of him.
'along with black-owned businesses in crisis' lol If a white celebrity supported 'white-owned businesses', that would be front page news, and rightfully so, because it is racists.
too late trump boy
Did he send the money wrapped in a MAGA hat? How thoughtful.
Yes!
Unlike the democrat terrorist who want to defund police
Will he withdraw his support to this guy now ?
Wow! This is awesome....
lookin fresh
Will he stop supporting the people that allowed this to happen, though?
Wasn't he the one who said the Black Lives Matter Movement shouldn't be a thing?
Probably just matching the donation from the Trump Org
For these store owners, black lives matter means black and white people thrased and looted their store. These agitators are influenced by 5G radiation and pollution, which causes people to behave erratically. Read the banned 5G article here: Share
He simultaneously supports trump. Tough to reconcile although I applaud the donation that is amazing.
Good! Now put your masks back on and stay home!
