Lil Baby has continued to have an impressive 2021, and people from all over are showing their respect. On Friday (December 3), Baby celebrated his 27th birthday. While cruising through his hometown of Atlanta, he ran into a local pair known as the Water Boys, a group of kids who pass out water on the streets of Atlanta hoping to rake in some cash. Out of a sign of respect for the hometown hero, the Water Boys instead decided to give their hard-earned cash to Lil Baby.

“Water boys fucc wit me,” Lil Baby captioned the moment in his Instagram Stories. “Thank you.”

Lil Baby can also be heard on Nardo Wick’s latest single, “Me or Sum,” rapping about all his recent blessings: “I made 40 million last year and that’s just off my music. I done finally got the motherfuckin’ ball and I ain’t gon’ lose it/Seem like everybody snoozin’ while I’m steadily improvin’.”
