Shady Boots: Jay Z Gets Checked For Being Stingy - Again.

Jay Z's presence is enough. That's what he said a few months back. Specifically, "My presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama's is. Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation, and outside of America, is enough."*sigh*In 2010, Jay-Z only reportedly donated $6,431 of his $63 million earnings to his own Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund. Out of the $87 million Beyonce earned in 2010, not a single penny went to her husband's foundation.Online magazine, The Root, put Jay on blast (again) recently. They compared Hov's non-giving to that of "less fortunate" rappers, The Game and Drake.  After learning that Anna Angel had lost her boyfriend and five children to a tragic mobile-home fire, The two split a $20,000 donation to help Angel with the funeral expenses.It baffles me. One of the reasons I left the entertainment industry and got into non-profit marketing was because I was so tired of seeing fans worship celebrities that could care less beyond an album sale. That was almost a decade ago. One would think that things have changed. apparently they haven't for the majority.Here's hoping Jay secretly learned a lesson from Game and Drizzy's actions. I would bet that even if he did, he'd keep that to himself.  Check out The Root's article here.Money can't by generosity.
