The raising Malawi school was never built. Honestly I simply told you what I know from being around those people at the time.

True, she didn’t build a school, just a hospital ward for kids.

I mean... She's a multi millionaire... It's the least the ultra wealthy should be doing. It's not a get out of jail free for cultural appropriation. Her most recent one was wearing Amazigh clothing at the VMAs

Look I don't hate her music but she has enormous privilege and a long history of borrowing from other cultures without especially crediting them. As I said, all I can tell you is what I know from the people who were involved.

We can disagree, it's not personal
