American rapper Kanye West disclosed he has created a college fund for George Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter Gianna.
Also he made a donation of $2 million to different charities linked to the deaths of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, a representative told Variety.
According to Variety, West has pledged to cover legal costs for the families of Arbery and Taylor as well as aid black-owned businesses in his hometown of Chicago.
West, 41, has been surprisingly quiet on social media platforms as protests against police violence continued for a second week across the country.
In addition, his wife, Kim Kardashian West, took to Twitter on Sunday to express her disgust about the racial killing common in America.
Kim said, “…For years, with every horrific murder of an innocent black man, woman, or child, I have always tried to find the right words to express my condolences.
“And outrage but the privilege I am afforded by the color of my skin has often left me feeling like this is not a fight that I can truly take on as my own.
