According to the Canadian Press, Keys has taken the initiative to bring together several other artists to help fight the problems of poverty and poor health in Africa. Several people are now wondering, however, if the celebrities truly care about the cause, or if they are simply trying to bring more prestige to their images.
The Rocafella Princess and supermodel Iman recently hosted the Black Ball in New York. The charity event raised money for the Keep a Child Alive Foundation, which offers medicine to the AIDS stricken region.
Earlier this year, Alicia Keys, 25, visited Africa.
