He may currently be known for his explicit lyrics, but hopefully he'll soon be known for his generosity as well.
Rapper Trey Songz brought some Christmas cheer back to his hometown on Wednesday, and distributed gifts to over 68 children, even if he was a little bashful about it.
The 31-year-old Panty Droppa hitmaker is originally from Petersburg, Virginia.
Through his charity, the Angels with Hearts Foundation, the recording artist showed up at the local public library with shoes and toy store gift cards to distribute.
In a post event interview, he told the Progress-Index how much the whole event meant to him personally, though he did modestly hide his face several times during the exchange.
'I come from here. I walked these same school hallways, I lived on these same streets, I went in these same stores, I played in the same parks, I’ve had the same experiences they’ve had so for them to see me to be successful and take care of family and take care of my community and give back they see that once you achieve success you don’t have to keep it all for yourself.'
On Thursday he followed up with an adorable Instagram post of him hugging a small girl in a light blue hoodie.
He captioned the snap, 'I love my town! Happy to give back! Much love to #SneakerSuite @ianeyecan @suitenation @nando_in_dc and of course Petersburg Parks & Leisure Services.'
Prior to his charity trip, the Na Na and Slow Motion artist was making a different kind of headline earlier in the month, when he was spotted with in the UK with Justin Bieber's possible love interest Jayde Pierce, 20.
He traveled to Britain after a trip to Abu Dhabi to watch his pal Lewis Hamilton compete in the Formula 1 Grand Prix there.
He joined fellow rappers Ludacris and Tinie Tempah and comedian Kevin Hart to party up a storm after Hamilton retained his World Championship crown.
The Grammy-nominated rapper - real name Tremaine Aldon Neverson - has earned the nickname 'Mr Steal Your Girl' from his songs that talk about his various conquests and brag about stealing other men's girlfriends.
