JAY-Z GETS UNITED NATIONS HUMANITARIAN AWARD

Congrats to Jay-Z for receiving a humanitarian award from the United Nations. The rapper and business mogul was granted the award at a ceremony in New York by Michael Douglass. Jay-Z's beautiful wife Beyonce was not seen at the event.

Earlier this week Jay-Z’s philanthropic efforts were recognized in a private New York ceremony, as the mogul received a special humanitarian award from the United Nations.

The esteemed distinction was bestowed by actor and host Michael Douglas for the rapper’s extensive work over the past two years raising funds and organizing awareness of the world water crisis.

Now a staple contributor to social issues in his veteran Hip-Hop years, Jay reasons that as a worldwide human family people have to stop looking to others for community responsibility and take initiative to combat societal issues. “If you bring awareness to young people, they’re going to see and want to be involved,” Jay-Z stated. “I’m not a politician; I’m just a regular person with a heart. If you see a problem like that and do nothing about it, there’s something wrong with you.” source
