Years ago, a young Jamaican boy sang “It’s a Beautiful Day” in his classroom at school — a performance so heartfelt that it went viral worldwide, touching millions of hearts.
Now grown, Rushawn Ewears is speaking out to clear the air about a false claim that has been circulating online — that superstar Akon gave him $1 million for the song.
In a heartfelt video, Rushawn said:
“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. False statements like this are putting my life in danger. Please stop making false information.”
Fans around the world were shocked by the Akon $1 million claim — but Rushawn makes it clear: it’s not true, and he wants the world to know the facts.
