Has he really or has he just directed sponsors money to organizations he likes?
What's the difference?
This is a legitimate question.
One is his money, the other isn't.
But both result in a charity getting money?
There isn't a difference in the end result, and they're desperate to find a reason to hate the guy.
He's not a likeable character, to be fair.
Hard to be desperate, there are plenty of reasons to dislike him.
Honestly just believing some pseudo-philanthropic character some guy made up for clicks if fucking weird and people need to learn to think critically about things.
I mean, he's a slimy character, and I don't like the guy at all, but he's either given or raised huge amounts of money to charity through his stunts.
And denying that happened just looks bad for you, to be honest.
I'm sure Jimmy doesn't profit at all from all the money funneled into Beast Philanthropy.
Diddy raised a bunch of money too what's your point?
I'm genuinely baffled as to what your point is here. Do you think the fact he's making money doing this is news to me?
Really? My point is it's not hard to find reasons to dislike him. He's got a lot of fans (mostly kids) but I'm definitely not one of them, I guess you are, that's allowed.
Good night.
I've explicitly said I'm not a fan of the guy, but believe what you want to believe, I guess.
He takes credit for the sponsor's donation. So I would argue it is worse.
A chunk of both, I think.
