The Migos rapper teamed up with the Lincoln Project and AXSD Media to bring free food from Atlanta staples The Slutty Vegan and Big Dave’s to voters waiting in line and to poll workers. Offset and his entourage hit three locations in Gwinnett and Fulton counties including Fickett Elementary School.

A series of videos posted on Offset’s Instagram account shows the rapper greeting voters amid cheers. At one point he even got busy in the kitchen, helping to prepare food in the Slutty Vegan food truck.

“I wanted to partner up... on this vote and give back to the black community,” Offset told cameras.

The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed to defeat President Trump in the 2020 Election.

Last week, Offset was detained at a Trump rally in California after someone in his car waived a gun.
