The rapper has also vowed to donate to the black businesses in his hometown Chicago, Illinois. The news comes after his wife, Kim Kardashian, announced that she would be donating to Black Lives Matter, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, National Urban League, and Color Of Change.
Earlier this week, during a press conference in Minneapolis, Gianna’s mother Roxie Washington said she wanted "justice" for George Floyd.
#4 "Gianna does not have a father"
In a response to Floyd's death, an emotional Washington said, "At the end of the day, they get to go home and be with their families. Gianna does not have a father. He will never see her grow up, graduate. He will never walk her down the aisle. If there's a problem she is having and she needs her dad, she doesn't have that anymore."
Washinton was joined by NBA player Stephen Jackson, who became friends with Floyd when he visited Texas. The two were good friends and Jackson used to joke that Floyd is his twin because they looked alike so much.
#5 "I'm gonna be there for her. I'm gonna be here to wipe your tears. I'm gonna be here for you and Gigi."
Jackson responded to Washington's emotional words by saying that Giana will have him as father support forever for the rest of her life, "There's a lot of stuff you said that he's gonna miss - that I'm gonna be there for. I'm gonna walk her down the aisle.
"I'm gonna be there for her. I'm gonna be here to wipe your tears. I'm gonna be here for you and Gigi.
"Floyd might not be here, but I'm here for her, I'm here to get justice, and we're gonna get justice for my brother."
Later in the day, Floyd's daughter was filmed sitting on Jackson's shoulder and shouting, "My daddy changed the world."
