You may remember Geoffrey Owens as the former Cosby Show actor who was recently job-shamed for working at Trader Joe’s.

After hearing his story, Nicki Minaj decided she was going to donate $25,000 to him and she just fulfilled that promise.

In a statement to TMZ, Geoffrey revealed that he’s donating the money to a great cause. He said, “I would like to give this donation of 25k to the Actor’s Fund in memory of the late, great Earle Hyman — who played Cosby’s father, ‘Russell’, on “The Cosby Show” — who lived his last many years and died at the Actors’ Home, (funded and run by the Actor’s Fund). I am extremely grateful to Nicki Minaj for enabling struggling actors to continue pursuing their dreams.”

Nicki added in a statement, “I’m happy to be a part of a great cause. I wish Geoffrey much success and want him to know how loved he is. Rest in Peace to Earle Hyman.”

It looks like Geoffrey Owens has his new TV gig lined up!

The 57-year-old The Cosby Show actor has reportedly signed on for a role on an upcoming episode of NCIS: New Orleans, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“For Commander Adams, we needed someone with compassion, competence, and heart. That’s Geoffrey in a nutshell,” the show’s executive producer Christopher Silber said in a statement to EW. “An accomplished actor who seemed like the perfect fit to add to our extended repertory company. We’re lucky to have him on the show.”

Geoffrey first started making headlines a few weeks ago after he was job-shamed for bagging groceries while working at a Trader Joe’s in New Jersey.

If you missed it, Geoffrey also recently signed a 10-episode on Tyler Perry’s drama The Haves and the Have Nots on OWN.

Nicki Minaj Wants to Donate $25,000 to 'Cosby Show' Actor Geoffrey Owens After He Was Job Shamed

Nicki Minaj wants to help out former The Cosby Show actor Geoffrey Owens.

After the 57-year-old actor was photographed working at his job at a Trader Joe’s in New Jersey, Geoffrey quickly became the brunt of job-shaming jokes, and now the 35-year-old rapper wants to help him out.

“This man is a whole f–king legend,” Nicki said in the latest episode of Queen Radio on Beats 1. “That man is now getting so many opportunities, I personally want to donate $25,000.”

Since the picture hit the Internet, Geoffrey has had tons of support from Hollywood. Tyler Perry even offered him a job.

“Some people are on the internet and seeking attention, and he’s just the antithesis of that,” Nicki continued. “So I felt like, ‘Oh my God, could you imagine?’ Tell him that I’m going to have my team contact him because I hope he doesn’t take it the wrong way…I just want to help him in any way I can.”

Cosby Show's Geoffrey Owens Breaks Silence on Being Job-Shamed for Working at Trader Joe's

The Cosby Show alum Geoffrey Owens made headlines over the past several days after photos began circulating of him bagging groceries at a Trader Joe’s. Now, Geoffrey is speaking out after being job-shamed.

At first, the 57-year-old actor told GMA that he was “really devastated,” however, things quickly turned around.

“The period of devastation was so short because so shortly after that, the responses, my wife and I started to read [them] … and fortunately the shame part didn’t last very long. It’s amazing,” he said. “It’s really overwhelming, in a good way. I kind of feel like that character in that Woody Allen movie that wakes up one morning and he’s a celebrity all of a sudden … it came out of nowhere. I really want to thank everybody out there … for the incredible support, the amazing support and positivity that they’ve shown for me. It’s quite astounding.”

“No one should feel sorry for me,” Geoffrey continued. “I’ve had a great life. I’ve had a great career. I’ve had a career that most actors would die for. So no one has to feel sorry for me. I’m doing fine!”
