In an appearance on the Late Late Show with James Corden, Roddy Ricch spoke about how he decided to give back to Compton this Christmas.

Showing up for both an interview and a performance of "The Box," Ricch explained how he spent his weekend putting on a Toy Drive in Compton. "This weekend, me and the guys, we put what we had together and, you know, we gave thousands and thousands of toys away in Compton," he said. "I felt like it was important this year more than anything because, you know, with how restricted things have been." 

Roddy actually turned up to the drive in a helicopter to personally hand out gifts to the community. DJ Hed pointed out there was a "two mile line of cars" at the drive.

not one “journalist” in attendance...
