Brooklyn emcee Fabolous was feeling some type of way yesterday afternoon about the social media response to the death of comedian Joan Rivers.
The “Ready” rapper sent out a series of tweets to his 2.9 million followers questioning the motives of people online sending condolences to Rivers and others who have embraced the ALS ice bucket challenge.

Ice bucket challenge became a viral thing to do to look cool.. Bet they cool asses ain't donate a penny..

Awareness was part of the goal. But donation is a goal. Cures, research, & treatment can't be paid for with being aware
