With Stormzy and Nicki Minaj having both already made contributions to the student fees of their fans, 2017 is fast becoming the year that social media philanthropy took hold of the rap game. Never one to be out done — other than where first week sales are concerned, that is — Lil Yachty is now getting in on the charitable action too.
