It’s very admirable to see a young man of his status doing grown man things. Atlanta rapper Lil Baby keeps on uplifting his community and not just through his music.
Lil Baby’s philanthropic spirit has been seen on numerous occasions. His recent donation of bikes for kids is just another thing added to his long list of gestures where he’s given back to his hometown community.
His act of kindness was captured on video and has since circulated on social media. It shows a basketball court filled with bicycles of different sizes. On top of that, the “Bigger Picture” rapper also partnered with Foot Locker to remodel the community’s basketball court.
“Baby puttin’ on for the city,” the sneaker store penned on Instagram. “We pulled up to the neighborhood with @lilbaby today. #HOMEGROWN.”
Before this generous act, Lil Baby held a back-to-school drive for kids in the community. He gave away clothes, laptops, free school supplies, and merchandise from his “Four The People Foundation.”
“At This Point It’s About The Kids! #generationalwealth,” he wrote on Instagram hours later.
And the list goes on because before that, he went to an Atlanta Foot Locker and bought an entire collection of music and handed it out to children in his neighborhood.
“Buying shoes ain’t what I mean by saving [my] community or giving back!!” he wrote. “That was some shit I did cause I seen a lot of them had on flip flops. When I say save [my] community, I mean centers, programs, jobs. You can’t imagine the shit I don’t post…”
Despite his continuous good deeds, he once told Billboard he has no desire to be a “role model.”
“My life feels like a responsibility,” he said. “I’m not even trying to be no role model, honestly. [But] now that I know that I am, I try to carry myself differently because I got people watching. I don’t even be doing what I really want to do; I do what I gotta do now.”
Regardless, it’s admirable.
