“It’s about giving back to the kids,” he said, per 11 Alive in 2018. “We have young men here from ages 10 through 13 and I like to come out here personally – work out with them, bring some of my personal athlete friends out here – some of my celebrity influence, bring them out here, and mentor the kids.”

He added, “I love free shoes and free shirts and I have money. So even if – it’s not about having money, it’s like, you know, the whole giving back thing is very euphoric for someone like myself.”

So far 914,000 people have voted early in the Georgia Senate run-off, and over 800,000 mail-in ballots have been requested, but not yet returned, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The last day to vote is Jan. 5.
