Taking part in the star-studded event last night, Vic Mensa used his platform and voice to help support the ‘Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief Telethon.’

The Chicago rapper took calls for the event, which helped raise upward of $44 million dollars, but it wasn’t just his help on the phones that Mensa wanted the country to take notice; it was his stance on climate change.

Speaking with Billboard, Vic Mensa expressed:

I haven’t heard enough in this entire storm fiasco really holding people to a standard of honesty. You can’t come out and say we pray for Houston, we support Houston, and then deny climate change.

Vic Mensa believes that the lack of effort on the government’s end to take action influences how the rest of the world views this reality.
