DaBaby - the Grammy-nominated American rapper, singer and songwriter from Charlotte, North Carolina - used his brand-new custom mascot character to encourage those across North Carolina to vote in the recent US election.
The initiative, known as VOTE BABY VOTE, included a social media program, statewide bus tour and a series of events during early voting to encourage people across North Carolina to get out and vote.
On election day, DaBaby visited polling stations in his hometown of Charlotte to give out free swag to those casting their votes. Attending the polling stations with him was his brand-new mascot character - Little Buddy.
You can see DaBaby and Little Buddy in action at polling stations at the video below.
Who is Little Buddy?
Little Buddy is a custom mascot character designed by BAM Mascots for DaBaby’s entertainment company, Billion Dollar Baby Ent. With a design to look like a baby, Little Buddy was specifically built to enhance DaBaby’s existing branding.
Alongside Little Buddy, BAM Mascots also created a second mascot costume. A water bottle mascot costume design was created to help emphasize the K20 water brand, which was founded by DJ K.i.D of Billion Dollar Baby Ent and backed by DaBaby himself.
Little Buddy has also made an appearance in DaBaby’s new music video
Little Buddy has received a lot of attention recently, after appearing in the star’s new music video which was first published in an Instagram post. In a video posted by DaBaby for his new single Practice, Little Buddy can be seen dancing.
