There’s nothing more fun than a carnival, right? Well — maybe a carnival put on by a huge star that raises funds for a good cause. Now that he’s got a little one on the way, the father-to-be has even more reason to be charitable toward our nation’s youth, and last night was no exception as the Shawn Carter Foundation threw a “Making Ordinary Extraordinary” carnival at the Hudson River Park pier to benefit hard-working students who need financial assistance for college. The event found the “Mr. Nice Watch” rapper playing games and spending time with his mother Gloria Carter.
