Usher Gives Up On Keep A Child Alive’s

“Digital Death” Campaign


 
Usher broke his vow to stay off of twitter and facebook this past weekend during the OMG tour stop in Atlanta. The highly publicized “Digital Death” campaign has raised over 280,000 dollars for Alicia Keys “Keep A Child Alive” foundation so far but is still short of reaching it’s goal of raising 1 million dollars.  Early in the campaign, the minimum value to donate was set at 10 dollars, but it has since been lowered to a dollar.  More on the ISSUE below.


Other celebs who are a part of the campaign include Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Ryan Sacrest, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Janelle Monae, Jay Sean, Serena Williams, Jennifer Hudson and more.

Taking away celebs access to social networks is almost like making them stand on one leg. You have to wonder who’s going to hold up until the end or will they all eventually break their vows. I would think they’d start donating their own money, but then again that might defeat the purpose…
