21 Savage spent Father's Day giving back to his community in a big way. He partnered with NCAA champ Flau'jae Johnson and a few NBA players to put on a youth basketball clinic in his hometown of Dekalb County, Georgia.
At the event, dozens of kids were surprised with personal coaching lessons from professional players like Nassir Little of the Portland Trail Blazers, Jay Scrubb and Kevon Harris of the Orlando Magic, and London Johnson from the NBA G League Team Ignite.
The event was organized in partnership with Freedom is a Choice Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization with the mission of restoring, reuniting, and redirecting youth to build character and create positive self-image. 21 Savage started the program to mentor kids between the ages of 10-13 who grew up with an incarcerated father. The foundation highlighted the event on Instagram and said it was put together to teach young athletes “the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship” in basketball.
The rapper launched the nonprofit organization Leading By Example in 2021 to teach kids how to save and invest. Programs offered by the nonprofit include the Bank Account Campaign and a free online financial literacy education platform sponsored by Chime and EVERFI. According to the company website, the nonprofit is focused on providing “financial literacy education to underserved youth and provides scholarships, access to bank accounts and job placement for teens and students alike.”
21 Savage's Father's Day event was a great way to give back to his community and help kids learn valuable skills. It's inspiring to see how he is using his success and platform to make a difference in the lives of those around him.
