NickiMinaj sent actor Geoffrey Owens $25,000 she had promised when a photo of Owen’s working at Reader Joes went viral— and he decided to donate it to charity.
“I would like to give this donation of 25K to the Actor’s Fund in memory of the late, great Earle Hyman – who played Cosby’s father, ‘Russell’, on “The Cosby Show” – who lived his last many years and died at the Actors’ Home, (funded and run by the Actor’s Fund),” Owens, 57, said in a statement to TMZ.
He continued:
“I am extremely grateful to Nicki Minaj for enabling struggling actors to continue pursuing their dreams.”
Nicki approved of Owens’ donation, telling the tabloid,
“I’m happy to be a part of a great cause. I wish Geoffrey much success and want him to know how loved he is. Rest in Peace to Earle Hyman.”
