Wyclef Jean has helped raise $1 million for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti after encouraged followers on Twitter to donate $5 (£3) text messages to the Yele for Haiti charity, which saw a response from over 200,00 people in just one day.
Fundraising experts claim that the text response breaks previous records so soon after a disaster, ABC News reports.
"This is a watershed moment. It's historic," said Albe Angel, founder and CEO of Give On the Go, whose company is helping Jean raise funds for his Yele Haiti Foundation. This has been remarkable in every way."
