Renowned pop star Beyoncé has recently made a massive donation of $100,000 to the criminal justice clinic of the University of Houston Law Center. Beyoncé's public charity foundation, BeyGood Foundation announced in a press conference. The donation will reportedly help fund the establishment of a full-time faculty and a director for the university's criminal justice clinic to support the clinic's community outreach efforts.
According to BeyGood Foundation's official website, the foundation is committed to helping people obtain educational scholarships and internships and providing them with equal access to resources to grow small businesses and advance entrepreneurship. The foundation also works towards supporting marginalized and under-resourced programs both in the USA and internationally in order to establish economic equity.
Leonard Baynes, the dean of the UH Law Center stated,
"I am delighted that the BeyGOOD Foundation has made this very generous gift to the UH Law Center. Not only will this funding help establish a full-time criminal justice clinic that provides pro bono legal services in our community, but it will also supercharge our already excellent criminal law and justice programming."
Netizens react to Beyoncé's BeyGood charity's donation
Beyoncé's donation to the University of Houston Law Center was made days after her husband, Jay-Z, was accused of r*pe. As soon as the BeyGood Foundation announced its donation to the UH Law Center, Netizens began speculating about its relation to Jay-Z's recent lawsuit.
"That's good, Jaz-Z gonna need 'em soon," one user wrote.
"This damage control isnt gonna help with the actual court case btw," someone else said.
"Hmmm….is that sus I smell ?" suspected another user.
"Tell me ur creating a distraction without telling me ur creating a distraction," someone wrote.
Jay-Z was recently accused of dr*gging and r*ping a 13-year-old girl with Sean Diddy at an after-party of the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. The Alabama woman filed an amended lawsuit against Jay-Z, claiming she was the victim of this heinous act. Jay-Z denied the accusation by writing an open letter on Sunday.
"My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people," he wrote.
He continued, "I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit."
Previously in October, the woman had also filed another lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of the alleged crime. Diddy was already arrested in September on the charges of s*x trafficking and racketeering, among other charges. He was denied bail after pleading not guilty. He is currently in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and is set to appear for trial on May 5, 2025.
