Lil Dicky's all-star environmental music video goes viral

An all‑star animated environmental music video featuring the voices of Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and Ariana Grande has gone viral on social media.

The song Earth, by comedian and rapper Lil Dicky, also has cameos from Katy Perry, Snoop Dogg, and Miley Cyrus.

Speaking to Time, Dicky aka David Burd says that what started as a silly joke of an idea along the way became the most important thing he has ever do.

A share of proceeds will go to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.

Thank you to @lildickytweets and all the artists that came together to make this happen. Net profits from the song, video, and merchandise will go to many @dicapriofdn partners on the frontlines of implementing solutions to climate change. #WeLoveTheEarth https://t.co/3u8cyA6NPq pic.twitter.com/cpMeTB4Ziq

DiCaprio, who campaigns on environmental issues, also makes an animated appearance towards the end of the seven‑minute long video.

“In Earth” has had more than 2.5 million views on YouTube since going live last night.

Burd and his celebrity friends including Halsey, Snoop Dogg, and Rita Ora urge people to fight against climate change.
