I think its great that other mediums are found to express the Buddhas teachings, especially popular ones among the youth, and they carry the right message. But Singa Rinpoche (so called Rinpoche) is obviously doing this for the cash, if he were a true monk he would be acting like so many other Buddhist monks releasing CD's, giving his money to good causes or supporting monastery's, not driving fancy cars and wearing designer labels.
As he is breaking the Buddhist moral code of a monk and creating a wrongful impression on monks, I would not support him as would not want to be attached to his karma in anyway.

if he is a monk and if he is living a lavish lifestyle, well then karma WILL catch up
