Lupe Fiasco, along with Justin Timberlake and pop star Kenna are set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro later this year for charity.
The climb is set to to raise money for charity and raise consciousness about water issues.
Pop star Kenna is climbing for personal issues. "My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, ‘I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water. Maybe I can help out,'" he told Elle magazine.
Lupe Fiasco, always down for an adventure is down for raising money, but hasnt lost sight of the fun of climbing the mountain.
"I’m an adventure junkie,” he stated. “Part of the motivation is beating Kenna to the top. Sabotaging his tent, taking the lining out of his coat, lacing it with ants or something like that."
Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania and stands at more than 19,000 feet from its base. According to estimates, more than 35,000 people climbed Kilimanjaro in 2007.
Research shows that 10 people a year die attempting the climb.
