OFFSET: Hosts $500,000 Cancer Research Fundraiser

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

  • Latabia Woodward, Offset's mom, says, “Losing a loved one to cancer is devastating, and we need to continue to help educate our communities about early detection and screening guidelines. I am incredibly proud of Offset’s desire to help save the lives of others, genuine heart and talent as an artist."
  • Even if you aren't loaded like Offset, you can still donate your time to causes important to you.
  • We love to see our favorite artists doing good. 
  • Wonder if he got his groupmates Takeoff and Quavo or his girlfriend Cardi B to chip in. 

Offset is giving back to a cause close to his heart. On Tuesday, the Migos rapper launched a $500,000 fundraiser to promote cancer research in honor of his late grandmother. 

In 2012, his grandmother, Sallie Ann Smith, died of bladder cancer. Rather than let her death derail him mentally, Offset opted to be proactive and serve as a catalyst in finding a cure. 

He tells the American Cancer Society, “It was really tough losing my grandma to cancer and one of the hardest things I have dealt with in my life... She motivated me to do my best and go for it, one of my biggest coaches.”

The money raised will help fund a research grant centered on bladder cancer. You can make a contribution at Cancer.org. If you donate $10 or more, you can also enter to win a chance to go on a shopping trip with Offset in Los Angeles.
