Peezy is set to give away 200 pairs of custom sneakers in his hometown of Detroit in celebration of his latest project, Small Town Ghetto.
On Saturday (September 28), the rapper will give out 200 pairs of his custom Ghetto Boyz Entertainment edition of Nike’s Air Force 1 sneaker.

In a statement to HipHopDX, Peezy said, “I was a kid growing up wishing I could have the best sneakers and couldn’t afford them. So now that I have the opportunity, I’m going to always give back to the kids from my hood. This is for the ‘Ghetto’ kids, and to show them keep pushing!”
Fans can get their hands on the sneakers from 4-6p at the address below.
Earlier this year, Peezy found himself in the hot seat alongside Icewear Vezzo after the two Detroit natives announced their support for former president Donald Trump.
In June, both rappers shared photographs with the businessman-turned-politician on Instagram.

“I Told @realdonaldtrump If We Can Bring The ACT BACK We Can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” the Team Eastside MC wrote about the meeting.
When one of his followers took to the comments section and wrote, “Dude using rappers as pawns and y’all going for it,” the Detroit native embraced the jab with “damn right.”

Likewise, when another person complained, “You can’t be fr,” he replied: “you think I’m faking?”
The Iced Up Records boss shared a lengthier message about backing the 78-year-old presidential candidate.
“Told Donald I Made the 6 great again,” he wrote. “But naw in all seriousness everyone not gonna agree with this picture but we don’t all have to agree on everything I just know not many of us will ever have the chance to really speak up for us and address how we may really feel so I stepped out on faith I didn’t meet him as a rapper I met him as a man and a father who understands the only way to attempt change things is to address things.”
Soon after he began receiving criticism for his stance, the Clarity rapper shared a video to emphasize the importance of respectfully disagreeing with one another.

“Why can’t we respectfully agree to disagree?” he began. “You know what build great companies and great civilizations is they all went and got a team with people who think differently from them. If they went and got people that thought the exact same thing as them, then it wasn’t no need of hiring no people.”
In the post’s caption, he added: “Don’t be afraid to ask questions, don’t let social media think for you, go see for yourself. Dont agree with everything anybody does it’s not logical, & don’t draw conclusions without actually knowing what you’re talking about.”
