A Nigerian boy inspired me to start my charity project – Rapper The Game

Last month on The Arsenio Hall Show, Game detailed how meeting a Nigerian boy in Australia, and not being able to give him more money, kept him up for a week, thus inspiring him to come up with The Robin Hood Project.
I met a kid in Australia from Nigeria. His name was John. And if I met him anywhere in the United States, I would’ve had enough money on me to help him the way I would’ve thought he needed help. But I only had $20 in Australia on me.


He told me about his family’s plight and how much it took for him and his family to get to Australia and he said it was like 20 people living in a one-bedroom apartment.
So I gave him the $20 and for the next week I couldn’t sleep. So I came up with the idea for the Robin Hood Project and ever since I met John, I’ve donated $170,000 of my own money just to people.
It doesn’t matter. The game also  his charity foundation hosted a bowling night at Studio City’s Pinz, attended by celebs like Khloé Kardashian, Rosa Acosta and Malika Haaq.


The event raised $6,636 for 4-year-old Aaliyah, whose mom Brittney Nickerson perished in a fiery car crash last week in Los Angeles.
