Mike Epps Epically Blasts Celebs Over Their Hurricane Harvey Donations..Here’s Why

Mike Epps

Mike Epps is pissed off with the many celebrities who have taken to social media and/or television to reveal how much money they’re donating to Hurricane Harvey victims as if it’s a badge of honor. In particular, he says he’s seeing celebs who never donate -or at least do not reveal it publicly- suddenly blasting it to the world in the midst of the tragic aftermath of Hurricane Harvey as if they’re looking for ‘likes’ on social media.

Mike Epps Calls Out Other Celebs On Instagram

Epps has always been known as one of the few celebs who always goes back to inner city neighborhoods and helps the residents there in any way he can. Here’s what he just posted online about the difference between his ongoing efforts and what he’s seeing now though:

Who Is Epps Talking About?

We’re not sure who Epps is specifically referring to. But as many of you know, Kevin Hart received mixed reactions when he recently issued a $25K Hurricane Harvey donation challenge for other celebs to donate $25K, just as he was doing. Hart called out The Rock, Steve Harvey, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jay Z, Beyonce’, Justin Timberlake, Jerry Seinfeld, and others in his social media challenge.

Hart’s challenge was like a double edged sword in the eyes of some though- many thought it was great that he forced the hands of celebrities to step up and help. Others thought it was wrong for him to do so. However, after Hart’s challenge, several celebs took him up on his offer, including Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, T.I., The Rock, and Jamie Foxx, who all announced that they were donating $25K or more. Check out their responses below…

As far as Mike Epps, he didn’t name any names when he referred to celebs who ‘tell the world about their hurricane donations like they’re God.’ So we’ll just have to leave that part up to our imagination and our deductive reasoning in this case. At any rate, we definitely applaud Mike for keepin’ it 100 and not being afraid to speak his mind.

Also, big ups to all celebs and everyone else who is helping residents of Houston, TX and surrounding areas in any way possible- no matter how large, or small.
