In 2008/2009, "Beautiful" became somewhat of an anti-domestic violence anthem as shortly after it was released, singer Rihanna was battered by her then boyfriend Chris Brown. Campbell then went on a DV tour "Domestic Violence" where portions of the proceeds was donated to women's shelters. He released a statement in 2009 denouncing the act.
Campbell is scheduled to speak about domestic violence and violence in general at a press conference in Toronto, Canada at 11.30am on Friday July 23rd 2010 alongside the family of late Toronto Rapper Michael "Meyend Tricks" George, the winner of the 2007 Best Rap category at the Toronto Independent Music Awards who was gunned down July 2007, a week before the awards while sitting in his car and never lived to pick up the award. George's first and final album will be released to the media at that news conference and Campbell believes it is the right thing to do to support the family when you lose a comrade in the same field. It is noted that the last five consecutive homicides in Toronto, Canada (#23, 24, 26) and Peel region, a surburb homicides (#1 and 2) were domestic violence related so Campbell plans to speak about it with various Toronto media while in town.The Toronto Independent Music Award show takes place at 7pm on Friday July 23rd 2010 at the Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto, Canada.
Campbell is also scheduled to headline a huge yearly rally called "Youth Day Toronto 2010" which showcases all the incredible talent of young Canadian artists; from their music and dance to the YOUTH GALLERY with art and photography! There will be concert sets from 11am to 9pm closing off with Canadian Music Award (JUNO) nominee R&B singer Kim Davis and Tim Campbell. This event is scheduled for Sunday July 25th 2010.
