Big Sean And Rihanna Team Up To Support Detroit COVID-19 Relief Efforts

Songstress and mogul Rihanna has teamed up with rapper Big Sean to provide relief for underserved communities that have been significantly impacted by the health crisis, Revolt reported.

Through their nonprofits—the Clara Lionel Foundation and Big Sean’s Sean Anderson Foundation—the two music artists joined forces with the David Rockefeller Fund and Lyft to donate $3.2 million to relief projects in Detroit and Flint.

The money will be distributed among community-based organizations who are spearheading initiatives centered on food insecurity, homelessness, criminal justice reform and social services.

Big Sean has participated in several COVID-19 relief efforts.
