The Fugees' Pras is the latest high-profile celebrity to join the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge after getting multiple containers poured onto him overseas this weekend.
In an attempt to spread the campaign globally, Pras decided to get involved in North Korea’s capital, Pyongyang.
Pras had two buckets of ice water dumped on his head along Pyongyang’s Taedong River, much to the surprise and bewilderment and laughter of North Koreans out for a stroll or some fishing on their day off. “I thought I’d put a little twist to it,” he said. “When we go to places, my crew, we stick out. You can tell instantly these guys aren’t from this neck of the woods. But the people have been good to us.” (The Guardian)
Footage of rap star 50 Cent’s G-Unit joining the Ice Bucket Challenge landed online earlier this month.
Look’s who doing the ice bucket challenge now. After 50 Cent accepted the challenge by Ludacris and Bow Wow, G-Unit (Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo) decide to join in on the fun. All together, the group nominated each other, as well as Lil Boosie, Angie Martinez, DJ Drama, Cosmic Kev and BIGVON. (XXL Mag)
Hustle Gang’s Iggy Azalea also decided to take part in the challenge back in mid-August.
J.Lo got an ice bath from her twins and challenged her “Booty” partners Pitbull and Iggy Azalea. Wearing an orange bikini, a screaming Iggy got soaked and called upon T.I., Charli XCX, and her “Black Widow” collaborator Rita Ora. (Rap-Up)
A few weeks ago, rap stars Lil Wayne and Drake took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Following tonight’s “Drake Vs. Lil Wayne” tour stop in Pittsburgh, Drake took part in the popular Ice Bucket Challenge, which raises money and awareness for ALS disease. Drizzy now joins the ever-growing list of celebrities to take the challenge, that includes Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, LeBron James, and many more. Weezy assisted Drake in the challenge tonight by dumping the bucket of freezing water and ice on his head while the crowd went crazy. (Complex)
