Rapper Drake Films Skit to Battle Child Slavery

By Boombox Editors Posted Apr 13th 2011 12:20AM

Drake has filmed his first 'Funny or Die' skit in support of the Real Men Don't Buy Girls campaign, which aims to raise awareness about child sex slavery worldwide.

During the skit for the viral video website, the Young Money rapper and former 'Degrassi' actor encounters a peculiar robot on the street. As the robot beckons to him, a cautious Drake hangs up a phone call, approaches the robot and then proceeds to punch him directly in the face.

The peculiar short is part of an ongoing video series to support Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore's Take A Stand Against Child Sex Slavery campaign, through their DNA Project.

According to the couple's site, "Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher founded The Demi and Ashton Foundation (DNA) to raise awareness about child sex slavery, change the cultural stereotypes that facilitate this horrific problem, and rehabilitate innocent victims."

Additional celebrity participants in the campaign include 'Hangover' star Bradley Cooper, who recently filmed his own viral video for the Real Men Don't Buy Girls campaign.

Drake is currently at work on his sophomore album, 'Take Care,' a follow-up to 2010's 'Thank Me Later.' On Monday (April 11), a photo of Drake in the studio with Pharrell Williams began to make the Internet rounds, stirring up speculation that the N.E.R.D frontman might be set to appear on Drizzy's upcoming album.

I guess PopEater still hasen't hired an editor or even an intern to proofread what is posted on the site because the headline clearly states the Drake is pro-child slavery by battling the antislavery cause.

As a person in the law field, I wanted to pose a question to level headed people. Would you be paying attention to these kids if they were just starving in their homelands? Are you doing anything in their homelands or just making money and a stink over here where it's safe? Is it slavery or prostitution?

Drake. Is. SEXY. I think part of what makes him so attractive is he's willing to do charity like this. I'm a firm believer in "Real Men Don't Buy Girls". Way to go Drake! And good work Ashton & Demi for starting it all!
