Attendees who are over 18 years old must bring a Georgia driver's license. The YMCA center is located at 5605 Rockbridge Road in Stone Mountain.
21 Savage, whose real name is She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, calls DeKalb County home and has led a number of community-oriented events and initiatives. That includes an annual back-to-school giveaway event and a financial literacy program for young people. He started the Leading By Example Foundation as a nonprofit to spearhead his philanthropic initiatives.
Tuesday’s event comes on the heels of two new Grammy nominations for the 27-year-old rapper. He was nominated Wednesday for best rap song for “A Lot," and his 2018 album, “I Am > I Was,” received a nod for best rap album.
He is out on bond after being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February on charges that he is actually from the United Kingdom and illegally overstayed a visa in the U.S.
