Puff Daddy Gives 1 Million Bottles of Water To “Lead Poisoning” City Of Flint

HIP-HOP mogul P Diddy has joined the relief effort to aide the residents of Flint in Michigan as the town struggles to address the lead-poisoning crisis in the city’s water supply.

Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has teamed up with actor Mark Wahlberg, Wiz Khalifa and Michigan native Eminem, to donate one million bottles of AQUAhydrate water to the town.

The news came via a statement from Combs’ media platform REVOLT, which read:

“AQUAhydrate investors Mark Wahlberg and REVOLT chairman, Sean “Diddy” Combs, are teaming with Eminem and Wiz Khalifa to donate one million bottles of AQUAhydrate to the people of Flint.

“The initial donation of five thousand cases is making it’s way across the country and is expected to arrive early next week.”

The statement added that the company “is working closely with Michigan state and emergency management in a long-term commitment until the water issue is resolved”.

The 46-year-old has been active in bringing more awareness to the water crisis.

Taking to Instagram last week, the Bad Boy Records mogul reposted a video calling the water calamity a form of intentional “genocide” against residents in the predominately Black area.

“I don’t know if these facts are true but we need to #WAKEUP AND #WAKETHEF***KUP INCLUDING MYSELF!,” he wrote.

“Let’s LOOK INTO THIS!!! I will share any information I get you do the same!!!!”

Other celebrities who have already donated include Big Sean and Cher.
