Rapper YG volunteered on Saturday at a Thanksgiving food drive in his hometown of Compton.

He was surrounded by security personnel who appeared to be brandishing assault guns.

The 33-year-old hitmaker Toot It And Boot It, whose ex-girlfriend and child's mother was tragically killed in an automobile accident, was seen driving up to Campanella Park, the venue for the celebration.

He was wearing loose-fitting black pants and a sleeveless, blank T-shirt. The actress also donned a pair of red sneakers, and a belt was fastened around the waist of the pants.

The rapper finished the ensemble with a variety of shimmering silver chain necklaces and a black cap worn backwards on his head.

Additionally, the singer helped 'power' the event during the weekend, according to the official event Instagram page.

Later, he was observed helping to load big paper bags with food while standing at a table covered in slices of ham.

The security officers followed YG to the food drive and remained in the area when he performed volunteer work.

According to TMZ at the time, the rapper was famously shot three times in the hip at a Studio City, California recording studio back in June 2015. The star's agents told the outlet that the injuries he received were "not life threatening" after he was driven to the hospital for treatment.

After interviewing YG about the event, the cops went to the hospital shortly after, but TMZ was told that the singer had been "very uncooperative."

The attackers, who remain unidentified, broke into the studio but were never apprehended.

The rapper tackled gun violence with his 2016 album Still Brazy, and the song "Who Shot Me?" seemed to allude to the earlier tragedy.

Some lyrics included: 'Did the homies set me up?/'Cause we ain't really been talking much/I know that sounds sick/My thoughts dark as f**k/Like the barrel of the pistol I saw when he sparked it up/Prolly was mad as f**k when I walked out the hospital.'

He also sang: 'I got trust issues if I don't f**k with dude/My body language gon tell him I don't f**k with you/I can't sleep at night this s**t unbomfortable/Having nightmares of me coming for dude.'

YG has been managing his hectic schedule, and he recently looked great at the GQ Men of the Year Party in Los Angeles, where he wore an all-black outfit. Along with his two kids, Harmony and Vibe Jackson, he attended the Welcome to Collegrove Album Visual Presentation on Tuesday as well.

The rapper and his ex-girlfriend, Catelyn Sparks, have two children together. Last month in October, Sparks was engaged in a fatal car accident that claimed the life of an 89-year-old woman.
