Rap-Up.com || Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Jay Sean, & More Commit Social Suicide

Tomorrow some of your favorite celebs will die for the cause. Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Serena Williams, Swizz Beatz, Kim Kardashian, Usher, Diddy, Janelle Monáe, and Jay Sean are among those pulling the plug on their social networking sites to help raise $1 million for Keys’ Keep a Child Alive foundation. In an attempt to help those afflicted with HIV/AIDS in Africa and India, the stars will appear in coffins, representing their digital death.

Prepare for the social suicide by checking out some of the Markus Klinko & Indrani-photographed ads below.

Such and idiot before me, you’re not paying for them to tweet…you’re raising money to help AIDS and HIV victims get the care and shelter they need. If it were you, you’d want someone to sponsor you to get the help you need. Such an ignorant soul and limited thinker.

i have an idea how about these rich ass celebrities who already have millions of dollars donate it to this charity instead of working class people like me and you. these celebrities can go ahead and get off social media sites who cares. let the rich spend the money on the needy and let them stop being so greedy.

And I agree with number 1. You need to be careful with words.I’m sure there was another way to do this without saying someone is dead…

Oh Gabe…they do donate a lot of money, some of them at least but it has been proven time and time again that a respected celebrity bringing awareness to an organization or cause can have more of an effect (ie AK hosting an auction that not only raised $2mill+ but brought that charity into the spotlight).
Don’t be so negative…they’re just trying to help

I will donate to the cause IF it does not result in the destruction of any unborn life. (Translation: If the money goes towards destroying embryonic stem cells, don’t bother to get ahold of me.)

i swear to God AIDS,Cancer and all these other fatal diseases were mainly created to keep the drug companies profiting endlessly as well as depopulating the world. Worst thing is that the names we often honor like UN,WHO and Globalist like Bill gates, US govt, british govt (royal family)etc are the ones driving this conspiratory theory wagon.smdh sad how we livin in prison planet whether knowingly or unknowingly.

You may not like the title of the campaign, but it got its point across. It got your attention, and you’re talking about it. So, if you don’t like the campaign, guess what, you’re actually helping Keep a Child Alive by spreading the word about it, even if you’re only complaining. And the celebrities are only trying to bring attention to the million of people who lose their lives to HIV/AIDS everyday.
So you know what, stop complaining. It’s not worth your time, and you’re not going to change the minds of the hundreds of thousands of people who are going to donate to the cause. You actually want to make a statement worth being read? Do something for the world. Think your life sucks? Trying being an HIV/AIDS orphan.

So u stop messaging in a free forum? I agree w/Gladis. This is the dumbest shit I`ve ever seen. I don`t even respect Alicia anymore. She`s a home wrecker & made it public like wrecking a marriage that included innocent children was ok. She`s already committed digital suicide. Have u heard her whack ass CD? Has ANYONE noticed she can`t sing? Her presentation & skin got her fame, NOT her raspy ass voice. DONE!!

lolz it’s a great idea, a good message but I don’t see how them not using social network sites is raising awareness about such a cause. I mean I don’t follow any of them. Not to be rude.

While I really don’t care for the idea of my favorite artists in coffins being laid to rest (we all gotta go sometime though), I believe this is a great cause & all of those full of negativity will indeed flee from the scene….. Unfortunately, many people will miss the mark on this one (which is) “when you give from the heart, you will have many blessings poored into your life”.

I think it’s a worthy cause to support. My question is why is Kim K posing like she was at a photoshoot? Serena look like she is looking down, doesn’t even look dead. Alicia Keys is the only one looking like she is dead, tho still beautoful. LOL @ Swizz Beatz with the deuces. I will be donating tomorrow to buy back Alicia Keys life.

KRIS, you poor soul. You don’t even know what a good voice is. Not to mention a GREAT voice! Much love to Ms Keys,glad she made so many more people aware of the aids epidemic in Africa. Too bad some just can’t see or don’t want to see the need or have the desire to help. Anyone who uses there celebrity status to help a charity is not all that bad. Think about it. Homewrecker? Don’t think you can prove that and even if you could, it’s not your business or mine. Let it go, you’ll feel SO much better. Ha! Smile. BTW, love her voice.
