"Imagine if Ed Sheeran or the Rolling Stones did this across their world tours, I reckon they’d have fed a few people.

"Let’s hope other big artists catch on and start doing this too - we’ll have started something that could actually make a massive difference in the world. Imagine that!”

Fans will be rewarded for their donations with limited edition signed posters and a promise from Bad Boy Chiller Crew to match all monetary donations made at the shows.

The Bradford rappers have also announced that their tour shows at the city’s O2 Academy on 13th and 14th April are now completely sold-out.
