The 26-year-old rapper was all the rage on the internet after performing in the neighborhood. Several videos appeared on Twitter of  the rapper showing his friendly demeanor.

He was later seen playing on the same court with his teammates.

Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, wanted to bring sports and the community together.

Most recently, the owners of Lil Baby’s  Four Pockets Full (4PF) label and Four the People Foundation hosted the new biannual campaign in Atlanta.

“My life feels like a responsibility,” he said according to Revolt TV, “Honestly, I’m not even trying to be a role model. [But] I know that I am myself, so I try to change the way I do things so that people will see. I do not even what I want to do. I do what I have to do now. “
