These days, when we hear anything about Offset, it usually has to do with his relationship with Cardi B. And while those two are a cute couple, Offset has been up to more than just kicking it with bae. Besides topping the charts with the Migos, he also gives back to his community. Most recently, he has launched a $500,000 fundraising campaign for the American Cancer Society.
His passion to help this cause comes from his love for his grandmother. His late grandmother, Sallie Ann Smith, died of bladder cancer in 2012.
“It was really tough losing my grandma to cancer and one of the hardest things I have dealt with in my life," Offset told the American Cancer Society. "She motivated me to do my best and go for it, one of my biggest coaches.”
After seeing the positive impact the American Cancer Society programs and services make on families through his personal experience, he wants to aid them even further. He is raising funds to help promote cancer prevention and access to care in underserved communities. In addition, money raised through this effort will also help fund an ACS Research Grant focused on bladder cancer research.
Offset's mother Latabia Woodward has been a supporter of and a volunteer with the American Cancer Society for more than a decade. She is extremely proud of her son's efforts.
“Losing a loved one to cancer is devastating, and we need to continue to help educate our communities about early detection and screening guidelines. I am incredibly proud of Offset’s desire to help save the lives of others, genuine heart and talent as an artist.”
