Rihanna and JAY-Z have joined forces to boost coronavirus relief efforts by each making $1 million (£802,400) donations via their charity foundations.
The Umbrella hitmaker last week pledged $5 million (£4 million) in grants through her Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF) to provide medical supplies and items for food banks in needy communities across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Africa, while she also sent a shipment of crucial personal protective equipment for first responders in New York, which has become the epicentre of the Covid-19 outbreak in America.
Now, she has made an additional $1 million donation to support non-profits located in New York and Los Angeles, with her mentor JAY-Z matching the amount through his Shawn Carter Foundation.
