Everyone deserves to be happy during the holidays and Lil Baby and Lil Yachty recognize that. That's why the two Atlanta superstars put together a giveback event in the West End neighborhood. Per Complex, it was a huge success as they were able to serve around 2,000 kids.

It helps cap off another stellar year overall for him as he put out two projects that charted inside the top 20. It started with WHAM in January, which sold 140,000 and debuted at number one.
His follow-up, The Leak$ didn't do as well, but still solid for a down year in mainstream rap. That moved 32,000 copies.
