P Diddy and Jay-Z are donating $1million to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
The hip hop moguls have pledged to make the generous donation to the American Red Cross, who is helping the thousands of people made homeless by the devastating storm.
Jay-Z said: "This is our community. When I turn on CNN, I see a lot of black people on the streets. I know it's other people too, but those projects have been hit hard."
Diddy added: "We are all descendants from each other's families. When you hear black people say 'brothers' and 'sisters,' it's really true. These are all people that I know I'm related to somehow, some way - the human race family."
Meanwhile, Celine Dion is also donating $1million to the cause, while Britney Spears - who hails from Louisiana - has offered a message of support on her website.
She said: "My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and any other states that might be affected by Hurricane Katrina.
"All of my family members there are safe and thank you to all my fans for their concern."
