I’m sure most of you remember last years fiasco with Pepsi dropping Ludacris after Bill O’Reilly remarks about his vulgar content, only to replace him with The Osbournes. Russell Simmons and the Hip-hop Summit called for a boycott of Pepsi and the corporation quickly extended the olive branch, promising to donate $3 million to the “Ludacris Foundation.”
In several recent interviews, Ludacris has made it clear that despite Pepsi’s claims, they never actually reached an agreement with the foundation and Pepsi has not followed through on their promise.
Luda’s charitable organization does some remarkable work for children in all sorts of capacities, “My foundation is geared towards helping kids help themselves doing a number of projects, not necessarily just one thing, but like feeding the homeless, going to rehabilitation centers for kids and visiting them, giving out free stuff, sponsoring boys and girls clubs, sponsoring trophies and uniforms, giving out turkeys at Thanksgiving, sponsoring families at Christmas.”
