Lupe Fiasco To Climb Mount Kilimanjaro For Charity

Emcee Lupe Fiasco [click to read], along with Justin Timberlake and Ethiopian-born Pop singer Kenna will climb Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness about the global water crisis.

"My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, ‘I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water. Maybe I can help out," Kenna told Elle magazine.
If the three artists make it to the summit they will have climbed Africa’s highest peak. The mountain, which is located in Tanzania, is nearly 20,000 feet high.

"I’m an adventure junkie,” explained Lupe Fiasco. “Part of the motivation is beating Kenna to the top. Sabotaging his tent, taking the lining out of his coat, lacing it with ants or something like that."
The lengthy climb is expected to take place some time during fall later this year.

In similar news, Lupe Fiasco announced last month that he would be releasing his third studio album entitled Lasers later this year.

    • Wow sounds like a good stunt. Although does anyone think that Lupe, Kenna and Justin don't seem like mountain climbing types. But hey I'm sure they will have lots of support peoples.

      Good luck and raise awareness//

    • Is this the same thing that Girls Aloud and other celebs did recently? Might have been a different cause or mountain but I recall hearing about Ashley Coles wife climbing a mountain for charity.

      Whether you donate or do work, its good for everyone to give something back.
