Lil Baby made an appearance at a panel for Proposition 28 in California. The panel was focused on the bill that would make sure music and arts programs would be included in the curriculum at public schools across the state. The bill would not add any cost to taxpayers.
The rapper was seen alongside Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre and spoke candidly about the effect a bill like this could have had on him if it had been passed in Atlanta when he was growing up. “A couple schools they got arts and crafts programs, but a majority of schools in the Atlanta public schools that I was in, they don’t,” said the rapper. Lil Baby then said, “They kinda cut from all of those opportunities. For a person like me, who grew up in that, if I had that opportunity, I could’ve went way further.”
Lil Baby spoke about how the proposition could keep youth from veering into troublesome activities outside of school, saying, “If they [Proposition 28] in the school[s], I feel like that could be a whole other conversation for what children are doing outside of school. There’s nothing else to do.” According to ABC 7, Prop 28 would set aside “dedicated funds from the state's budget to guarantee that all public school students have access to high-quality arts and music programs.” Watch Lil Baby speak on Prop. 28 above.
