Super producer Jermaine Dupri was honored by PETA for his healthy eating habits.
Dupri was among a handful of superstars who received the Humanitarian Award from PETA during a celebration for the 40th anniversary of the animal rights organization.
Singer Mariah Carey was on hand to present Jermaine Dupri with the award during a coast-to-coast virtual ceremony.
“I’ve known Jermaine for a long time, and he is one of a kind. Not only is he a genius at producing music, he’s also a vocal animals rights advocate, which is why we are joined here today,” Mariah Carey said. “I am most proud to see how Jemaine has become a powerful voice and PETA’s vegan campaign. Yes, he’s a vegan. It’s true. I didn’t believe him at first, but it is true. JD keep doing what you do. And PETA. I can’t wait for the next 40 years of groundbreaking success.”
