Like when Occupy was around, Jay Z suddenly started selling Occupy merch. Of course, none of the money actually went to the movement. It was just to enrich himself.

But be careful here, a lot of people are irrationally enamored with celebs like her and Swift. So apparently you're a trolling right winger if you criticize them.
