Lil Wayne and Baby got their Mother Teresa on last Friday, and passed out turkeys in New Orleans to needy residents there. Its something Wayne said he hadn’t done in nearly a decade. He blamed it on touring and a busy schedule.

“It’s actually been my first time back here for the past eight or nine years, and they’ve been doing this for 15 years. I haven’t been back here to do this for so long just being super busy, just always on tour.”

“Those times I did it years ago, I was just a kid and I was just doing it because Baby and Slim, we were giving away turkeys at a park and that’s what we were doin’. Now it’s a totally different feeling, because I can actually give you that and say, ‘Here, happy Thanksgiving.’ I can do that, and I can provide that for you. That’s a different feeling in general, and it’s a beautiful feeling overall.”–(MTV)

How touching. But I’m thinking that anybody who is so damn broke that they can’t afford to buy a turkey would have preferred it if Wayne and Baby had just given them the cash instead. That way, they could have bought their own damned turkey or whatever. Now that’s what I call giving back. After all, haven’t Wayne and Baby both been known to drop hundreds of thousands of dollars in one night at the strip club alone?

But real talk at least Wayne and Baby care. Most rappers don’t give a shit about their fans unless they’re buying their music.

This footage was apparently taken in 2002, perhaps before Lil Wayne claimed Blood affiliation? Whenever it was taken, its turning head these days. There are certain gang protocols and Wayne’s violating a clear one: He’s wearing opposing colors.

Of course, its very likely Wayne pledged his heart and soul to RED sometime later because its hard to imagine him feeling secure enough to troll the streets of New Orleans while claiming one color and wearing another, superstar rapper or not.
