Lil Baby Buys Out Foot Locker For The Hood, Responds To Backlash

On Friday (June 18), Lil Baby did some charity work in the hood. Photos and videos began to circulate showing the rapper shopping at a Foot Locker which was intended for the kids in the hood.

He was spotted with several members of his team carrying out dozens of bags of shoes, and it was later shared that he returned to his hood to give them out to residents.

“This n*gga @lilbaby done bought all the shoes,” someone wrote over a video of the rapper shopping. Still, some people felt it wasn’t enough and they criticized him for it.

Later, Baby clarified that this gesture wasn’t meant to be a way to cover up the needs of his community, but it was something he personally wanted to do after seeing people with a lack of footwear.

“Buying shoes ain’t what I mean by saving community or giving back !!” he wrote on his Instagram Story.

“That was some sh*t I did cause I seen a lot of them had on flip flops. When I say save the community I mean centers,programs, jobs. You can’t imagine the sh*t I don’t post.”
