Lil Baby and Foot Locker are back at it again, giving back to the community as a part of their “Back to School Festival.” This week the “Drip Too Hard” rapper dropped by two events to give back to the kids in Atlanta, his hometown. He and Foot Locker gave away school supplies and sneakers for the upcoming school year.
As commemorated with an Instagram post on Aug. 2, Lil Baby shared a montage of his supply drive. In the video, Dominique Armani Jones, known as Lil Baby, handed out snacks like granola, crackers, and Cheez-Its. In other locations in Atlanta, he passed to children and their families folders, pencil cases, notebooks, and backpacks for the upcoming school year. In one clip, Lil Baby even operated an ice cream truck and took photos with some of his young fans.
The Instagram post was captioned: “No Matter How The Narrative Switch, I’m One Of The Best To Ever Do This S###. 3 giveaways In The Same Day.”

Another video posted the day before by Foot Locker showed the 28-year-old rapper in Atlanta’s Westland Mall giving away sneakers. According to Complex, Lil Baby gave away over $300,000 worth of shoes and clothing to nearly 2,000 Atlanta students. The post on Instagram features Lil Baby walking around the Foot Locker store, interacting with his fans, and taking pictures with them and the employees while handing out sneakers. The excited crowd was given free shoes and other items through Lil Baby and Foot Locker’s partnership with Goodr.
The local food company, Goodr, strives to combat a persistent food waste problem to help end hunger. The company showed up for the partnership to provide hot meals and snacks to those who attended the event to get free shoes.
Foot Locker wrote in the caption, “Free shoes for the kids @lilbaby,” and described the video with “Lil Baby pulls up to Foot Locker to give back.”
