HAWKINSVILLE, Ga. — A big name returned to Central Georgia to help support his hometown.

Rapper Young Jeezy stopped in Hawkinsville to make some connections. 

"It's bigger than the music," Jeezy said. "I brought a gang of things with me when I came back, like Figgers Wireless, which we are giving free WiFi to the hospital and high school."

Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Wayne Jenkins, has given back to his community in the past. In September 2018, he donated iPads to Pulaski Elementary.
