DeBaby’s Christmas Giveaway Sees Rapper Riding Through The Streets As Santa

by

DaBaby arrived to his annual Christmas giveaway in style, hanging out the side of his ride with a Santa hat and joint as people flocked to see the rapper. The annual event was happening in the rapper’s hometown of Charlotte. Furthermore, it was held at the Eastway Church of God. Gifts given out included bikes, basketballs, and even TVs. “Give back. Give back when you’re blessed if you’re able to bless others,” the rapper told local media outlets.

Furthermore, he expanded on why he puts on the drive every year. “I always remember my mom. Even when we had less, like when we didn’t have enough, when we was barely holding on, when she was making ends meet, I always remember her going outside and us helping others. There’s not a time in my life that my mama wasn’t helping somebody else. You know what I’m saying?” the rapper told local media.

Of course, it’s been a big year for DaBaby. He proudly led the Colorado Buffaloes onto the field at Folsom Field ahead of their game against then-#8 USC. DaBaby had been invited to Boulder by Buffs head coach Deion Sanders a few weeks ago after the two traded pleasantries on social media. Sanders went as far as to jokingly offer the rapper a place on the team after seeing his skills while attending a Panthers game. After running with the team, DaBaby settled in the student section of Folsom Field.

As mentioned, DaBaby headed to Boulder after a social media exchange with coach Deion Sanders. It all began when DaBaby hit up Coach Prime while attendings the Panthers’ loss to the Saints with his kids. “PRIME WE NEED YOU IN CAROLINA AFTER YOU BRING THAT CHAMPIONSHIP TO COLORADO. Hit my line coach, let’s talk. @deionsanders.” Deion responded some time later, inviting the rapper up to Boulder. “Lolololol. I’m good here. I need u here my brother. And bring the babies. Prime loves the kids.” However, after video emerged of DaBaby showing of his skills, Sanders hit DaBaby once again. “Quick feet good release and u stacked the DB,” Sanders commented on the post. “We know you’re a Dogg so You got a offer to play At COLORADO. Let’s go Baby.”

Travis Scott Kicks Off “CIRCUS MAXIMUS” Tour In Charlotte: Peep The Setlist & Moshpits

by

Travis Scott’s CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour is officially underway, celebrating the release of his new album UTOPIA. Moreover, he just held the first show of the trek in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday (October 11), and it looks like an explosive set-up. La Flame brought out elaborate stage design, his trademark performance energy, and a lot of past hits as well throughout his concert. In fact, there have already been plenty videos circulating online, giving fans a hint at what to expect from it. One of the Houston MC’s fans even captured what it was like to be in the moshpit for his Playboi Carti and Sheck Wes collab, “FE!N.”

Furthermore, this tour also represents a bit of a comeback to live shows for him, following the Astroworld Festival tragedy in 2021. Of course, even with a lot of legal cases and settlements around that incident resolving themselves, it will still be a hard pill to swallow for some fans. Fortunately, it seems like Travis Scott is more aware than ever of patron safety and general performance security, and hopefully that trends positively as CIRCUS MAXIMUS continues. With Teezo Touchdown as its opening act, there will surely be plenty of highlights on this journey that hopefully prove that things have improved on that front.

Their next tour stops will keep them in North Carolina, as they have two shows in Raleigh on Friday and Saturday (October 13 and 14, respectively). However, there’s also been a lot of speculation on low demand for the tour, as ticket scalpers are reselling tickets for very cheap prices. Regardless of all of that, it’s clear that the “MAFIA” MC wants to give fans a truly special spectacle with CIRCUS MAXIMUS.
