Written by . Published: October 19 2014
Rapper T.I. shrugged off fears over the Ebola outbreak by jetting to Africa to headline a concert in Tanzania.
The hip-hop star posted a series of pictures on his Instagram.com page showing himself sporting a face mask after touching down in Ethopia and also going through an Ebola checkpoint, adding in a caption, "Just touched dwn in Ethiopia headed to Tanzania da boys done made it to Africa hustle gang international."
T.I. then traveled to Tanzania to perform at the Serengeti
Fiesta.
More than 4,000 people have died since the Ebola outbreak erupted
in West Africa earlier this year (14), with Nigeria, Liberia and
Sierra Leona among the worst affected countries.
