Swizz Beatz auctioning art

Record producer Swizz Beatz is auctioning off one of his paintings to help children in need. The hip-hop beatmaker has been a major art collector for years and now his own pieces are selling, so he’s off-loading a painting he created on a recent episode of the BET show Raq Rants. All proceeds will benefit Children’s Rights, a national watchdog organization fighting for abused and neglected children in the U.S., according to TMZ.
