Timberlake To Hit The Mountaintop?
Justin Timberlake says he’s gonna climb Mount Kilimanjaro for charity this year!
He and rapper Lupe Fiasco have been recruited by Ethiopian-born pop star Kenna for the big climb, and it’s all to raise awareness of the world water crisis.
Now, this particular climb comes on the heels of another one carried out by a group of British and Irish stars earlier this year, including Take That’s Gary Barlow and Boyzone’s Ronan Keating. Their climb on Africa’s highest mountain raised over £3,326,142 for Comic Relief.
But Justin’s climb has a special significance for Kenna, whose hits include Out Of Control.
“My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, ‘I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water,’” he said. “‘Maybe I can help out.’”
It’s certainly a challenge Lupe’s looking forward to: “I’m an adventure junkie. Part of the motivation is beating Kenna to the top. Sabotaging his tent, taking the lining out of his coat, lacing it with ants or something like that. [The water crisis in Africa] is a universal problem; it’s all mounting to the point where eventually there’s no clean water left. If I did a song, it would be jam-packed with so much information, it would almost be like we fit the substance of an entire interview in three and a half minutes.”
They’re expected to climb the mountain later this year.
