well that’s nice.
2nd, i dont know him
Ya well….
Its funny how only a few comments go to meaningful articles as opposed to an article with Beyonce shopping or John Legend on a holiday – which can yield up to 200 comments.
Well isnt that sweet. Go Travis. He seems like a really sweet guy but I cant get past the tattoos…
he is a great guy!! I surpport you!!! give you 5**!!!

@ 4: you are so on point with that observation. people bitch & comment (including me…lol!) about the same tired celebs all the time. this is a great thing that he and other high profile celebs are doing. although this is a celebrity gossip site for entertainment purposes, it’s good to get reports on the positive, meaningful things they tend to do from time to time. good work travis.
Waw…..very nice of him hey. Good to give back wether monetary or your time.
Outstanding….Love Travis.
Going to Africa seems like a good experience.
true that @ #4
i love travie! it’s great to see him doing something positive. more celebs should be doing good works, instead of just getting their pic taken!
i co-sign with H. Simphiwe Mngoma and Danz. Good look for Travis, thats the kinda experience you learn and grow from. He’ll come bk a new man.
Word @4!!
But many blesses will come to him for giving back..
and he’s kinda cute…..
his tatts make him look dirty..
that’s cool of him. I really want to travel to africa sometime.

Save up your money and GO! It’s a life changing experience.
Too much emphasis on money and sex here and I’m fed up!!!!!!
I KNOW IT’S AFRICAN CULTURE FOR “SOME” TO HAVE THEIR LITTLE GIRLS PERFORM UNCOVERED ON THE TOP, BUT…..IF TRAVIS HAS AMERICAN CUSTOMS, HE SHOULD HAVE NOT DANCED ALONG SIDE OF THOSE BARE LITTLE GIRLS. IT SHOULD HAVE FELT AKWARD TO HIM AND HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT. THE PEOPLE OF THAT CUSTOM MAY HAVE FOUND IT DISRESPECTFUL, BUT HE COULD HAVE EXPLAINED THAT IT’S IN BAD TASTE FOR OUR PRACTICES JUST AS IS ISN’T FOR THEIRS!
he’s cute but i don’t like tattoos i think they take away from a person’s appeareance, mainly when they are in the neck and face area.
Yo Travie be the real despite what some think about him with the tats and all. Finally a post of something that inspires me in my life to do better and think outside the prada box…LOL
I think that’s just great…Good to see him doing good for others. I love Gym Class Heroes…I hate those earrings though. Yuck!!!!
Who would have thought Mr. Cookie Jar himself had such a huge heart.
Way to go Travis!
… Yeah it’s true Tattoos do give a misleading impression most of the times.
So hear goes another lesson: Don’t judge.
… meant to say: “here”
I have been a fan of Travis and the GCH for years. I have a crush on him. Kudos to him for his humanitarian efforts (makes me crush on him even more)!
Wow that is really great that Travis is giving back. That inspirs me to wanna to the same. Helping others is the best feeling you have.
# 4 I feel you on that one.
It’s good to know that he’s doing a good thing, but i don’t know who he is..
He’s cute but he’s be cuter if he didnt have all those tatts.
Good stuff, we need to give more attention to HIV/AIDS and make people more aware of the effects of having sex with single and multiple partners since the world is so dishonest now, even though a lot of us aren’t really listening, especially a lot of the stars ya’ll post everday on CL.
Good job, even though I don’t know him.
I know it is culture but those little girls needs not to have there breast expose.
OMG…i TOTALLY love Travis so much I’m so happy him and Katy Perry isn’t going together no more..
But he has such a big heart for doing this:)
way cool
He would be sooooooo much more attractive without the tattoos and body piercing. Noble of him though, can’t wait for the next album.
@ #4, could not have said it better
He, is, so, fine.
the 2nd pix with him standing infront of the kids is a very nice picture. looks like a card or poster. I can’t see what Katy Perry sees in this guy but who am I.. Still a nice picture of him and the kids..
Love Travis…he such a cutie. Good to see him stepping up =o)
#24 — I didnt even notice the girls showing their breast. Thats interesting. Culture is culture i guess..
This is a good look for him but remember people you don’t have to go the Africa to make a difference. Do it in your own community. Go feed the homeless, help the ederly, or join a ministry at your church.(I preaching to myself as well). It’s truly better to give than recieve. I never understood that until I helped less unfortunate families when I was young..
Oh Travie! I adore him (and his tattoos). He’s cute, intelligent and funny. Hate to be catty but I agree with Amber.
Nice to see him give back. As black people, we should all visit Africa once in our lifetime. I was over for 6 months and plan to go back in 2012.
@4…it’s because we don’t find meaningful post as ENTERTAINING.
This is a blog site, we want celebrity juice…LOL
And also, on a Beyonce post, there are so many negative comments. Who can say something negative on a post like this.
Travs is a cool dude. Good look
good look travis.
@ 33 H-TOWN CHIC***….wassup neighbor. And I agree with you. Our country is suffering right now (although you wouldn’t know it by the way some people are acting). There is sooo much that can be done in our own communities.
oh & smh @ 24. pick up a national geographic sometime, there’s a whole world out there beyond the so-called “norms” of your own backyard, as long as no one’s being hurt, i’m not gonna diss em for bein different or make someone feel they should be ashamed because my cultures values of modesty maybe be totally different from theirs.
Those girls arent doing anything wrong, your intentions however seem questionable
@ #39.. I agree.. that is part of their culture.. they are being oogled like they would if they were here.. and please, people show their breasts here! It just that people like to be all “moral” about it.
The best investment for anyone is to get their passport, save up and travel around the world. One of the best educational experiences you will get and you will be shocked by what you will find. Especially if you travel to Africa. Each country is different..and within each country there are so many differences. After you go, you will want to come back and sue the likes of CNN/BBC and other media outlets for lying to you.
Peace!
EDIT:
* I meant to say that they are NOT being oogled like they would if they were here..*
Good 4 him. I would love to do something similar to that
ARE THOSE GIRLS TOPLESS?
AWESOME!!!!
Nice to see
I had no idea who this guy was until reading this post. He made a great first impression!
I wonder if people ask themselves what white peoples’ intense interest in acting as if they want to restore order or power to the darker nations is? Travis McCoy is just a shill that MTV dispatched over to South Africa to “call attention” to how much the South Africans have been destoyed by the Dutch. If they were actually concerned about those people, then the Dutch should leave the country and give the South Africans back control of the muti-billion dollar diamond industry that the DeBeers and the Oppenheimers control through that African devil, Nelson Mandela.
@ #38 Dude-N-H-Town What it do?? LOL! Yeah we can start making a change at home first. Oh and you know we love our Bey post lol. July 4th I will at the Toyota Center!!!
Every good deed helps
I’m so proud of Travis for at least trying to make a difference if I had the money I would do the same and I always liked him and now I love him even more. And unlike most people on here I actually love all his tattoos and piercing it makes him an individual and to me it looks cute on him..
Where’s Katy Perry @?
Theres a powerful statement being made about wearing Jordans next to a barefoot kid.
ok……aside from the fact homeboy creeps me the hell out…….what he’s doing is precious
One Word: BEAUTIFUL.
I dont really know too much about this guy but this is a wonderful thing that he is doing! Keep it up, the fight against HIV/AIDS should never cease! On another note, those tattoos and gauges kind of take away from him…im just saying.
@4 Right! Love Travis’ music so creative and fun and this is defiantly a good look taking the time to volunteer and help others is always a good look big ups to him.
I love Travis, what a great thing he is doing.
