Big Sean raises $100,000 to support residents of Flint, Michigan.

And this is a big deal.

In his interview with Trevor Noah, Bid Sean talked a lot about his new album and charity. His own foundation is called Sean Anderson Foundation and it’s mostly for children from poor areas. He and his mom who’s helping him organized a mogul program that gets kids keep in touch with people and professional careers to try and give them guidance. Big Sean also has a pen pal program that gets kids writing and connecting with children in Africa.

“It’s just cool to see the progression and the difference we made in a lot of people’s lives,” he said.
