      Dick Masterson I know Eminem isn't that open about that, but he does more than you would think.
      His charity donations generally go to Detroit/Michigan.
      He even has an own foundation for this.
      For example:
      The money that he won in the lawsuit against a party in New Zealand goes to charity or he sold many sneakers for the hurricane damage some months ago.
      He supported Detroit educational facilities that don't have alot of money or Detroit health organizations.

    First I love Akon and he is doing amazing things. Just want to bring up a couple points: 1. Africa is not a country, it’s 54 countries. 2. Not everywhere is Africa poor... there is an amazing and thriving economy in Dakar, the capital of Senegal (and many other cities around the continent). I’ve lived here for the past 5 years and the music, creative scene, and business innovation are amazing.
