French Montana, the Moroccan-American hip-hop artist, is known as much for his kind heart as he is for his music. In 2015 he used a $1 million bonus check to establish a foundation to assist underprivileged children.

With a $100,000 donation, he also started a charity in Uganda in order to help build a hospital there. In 2018 Montana was named a Global Citizen Ambassador for his charity work. He told TMZ, “It feels beautiful to be a child of God, citizen of the world and agent of change. I’m helping the people that need help.”
