According to Rushawn, the only financial support he has genuinely received came from Jermaine Edwards, the original writer and singer of the gospel hit “Beautiful Day.”
Rushawn stated:
“I just want to make something clear. I didn’t receive any money from anyone except Jermaine Edwards, who wrote ‘Beautiful Day.’ And ‘Beautiful Day’ is not a demo. I didn’t receive any $1 million from Akon.”
He added that the false narratives being spread online were beginning to cause him real-life problems.
“False statements like this are putting my life in danger. Please stop making false information,” he pleaded.
Rushawn first captured the world’s attention as a young student singing passionately in his classroom.
The clip traveled across continents, even attracting musicians and content creators who used his voice in remixes, duets, and covers.
