The Kid LAROI has been spending some time giving back to the neighbourhood where he grew up ahead of his Australian tour.

The trailblazing Kamilaroi rap star (who was the first-ever First Nations artist to land a No.1 spot on the Billboard charts for his song STAY with Justin Bieber) - returned to Waterloo in Sydney this week where he stopped by local youth organisation, The Fact Tree Youth Service.

According to NITV who covered his visit, the rapper posed for photos with fans, shouted everyone at the centre some McDonald's and made a $100,000 donation to the centre.

The Kid LAROI is home for his Australian Tour which kicks off tonight in Sydney, May 27.
