Brit musician Fuse ODG has claimed that lyrics of Band Aid 30 is a lie and the message of the song did not reflect what Africa is truly about.
The 26-year-old singer, who rejected the proposal of Bob Geldof of being part to raise funds for Ebola, told The Guardian that he was shocked and appalled by the song's content.

One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding and Rita Ora are among the stars who reworked, 'Do They Know It's Christmas' to raise FUNDS for Ebola.
