While the riots in Ferguson & Baltimore took place, many criticized one of the world’s most powerful couples Jay Z & Beyoncé for remaining silent throughout the events, but it turns out that was not the case. In a series of now deleted tweets, filmmaker & writer Hampton revealed that Jay & Bey wrote checks for “tens of thousands of dollars” to cover the bail of numerous protestors. In addition to that, they’ve also donated huge amounts to the Black Lives Matter foundation. Take a look at the tweets below & salute to the Carters for stepping up!
