Nicki Minaj pays promised $25,000 to former 'The Cosby Show' star Geoffrey Owens, but he spends it on charity

Geoffrey Owens donated the 25k to the Actor's Fund in memory of the late great Earle Hyman, who played Cosby's father, "Russell," on 'The Cosby Show.'

A month ago, former 'The Cosby Show' actor, Geoffrey Owens' photo blew up over the internet. The reason? He was spotted working at a Trader Joe's. As shocking and surprising as that photo was, countless fans and just social media users, in general, took to slamming the situations that led the former actor to land up in retail, while a lot of celebrities took to shaming the publication that runs a piece on the 'shocking' fact that Owens now works at Trader Joe's.

While most fellow actors and media personalities called him just a regular man, trying to earn an honest living, Nicki Minaj had other plans and took it a notch higher by promising him a cash amount. And now she has lived up to that and paid up the promised amount of $25,000 to Owens.
