DaBaby returned to his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina for the holidays and hosted the first ever Christmas At The Kirk Pole event. During the holiday event, the Grammy nominee donated toys to 200 kids in the area. In addition, the event featured holiday treats, music and an appearance from Santa Claus. Adding to the event, the musician brought in local college kids from schools like North Carolina A&T to help lead the way.

Following the toy giveaway, DaBaby performed at Bojangles Arena. The musician held the holiday show as a way to make it up to fans who missed out on last night’s show because the rapper experienced flight delays on his way to the venue. Unfortunately, the celebratory day turned sour following the sold out concert.

The Charlotte native was detained in the parking lot of Bojangles Arena for misdemeanor marijuana possession. According to the best-selling artist, the search was unwarranted and excessive. Local law enforcement have yet to respond to these accusations.
