Entertainment Icon Big Tigger and Atlanta Beltline Team Up Again to Champion Health Equity at 3rd Annual BikeFest
Star-studded wellness celebration brings community and purpose to the nation's largest urban redevelopment project ATLANTA, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Entertainment legend Big Tigger is once again putting the pedal to the pavement for a cause that hits close to home. On Saturday, June 14, the third annual Big Tigger's Beltline BikeFest will roll onto the Atlanta Beltline's Southwest Trail, activating one of the country's most ambitious infrastructure projects as a platform for health, wellness and connection. The free, family-focused event, created by Tigger and powered in partnership with Atlanta Beltline, features a celebrity-led community ride, live musical performances, vendor market, wellness screenings and the giveaway of 200 bikes and helmets to local students through Tigger's nonprofit, the Big Tigger Foundation, which has become a tradition of the event. 'BikeFest is more than just a bike ride. It's a celebration of community and culture and a vehicle for youth empowerment,' said Tigger, host of The Big Tigger Morning Show on Atlanta radio station V-103 and in-arena host for the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. 'Each year, it's incredibly heartwarming to see the joy on kids' faces as they ride their bikes. I'm honored to pour into the next generation, especially right before summer break when they need safe, healthy ways to stay engaged.' A Ride with Purpose Taking place in the historic West End community, BikeFest reflects the Beltline's original vision: a civic project shaped by and for the people. The event uses cycling as a tool to address health disparities that still remain present in many communities, where rates of chronic illness and physical inactivity remain disproportionately high. Statistics also show that regular cycling supports memory, learning and mental wellness in children, yet access to bikes has steadily declined nationwide over the past decade. Beltline BikeFest exists to address that reality. 'It's important to me that our community stays physically active. We all need to live longer, healthier, more productive lives, not only for ourselves but for the generations following us. I also want Atlanta to see the Beltline as a resource towards those goals,' said Tigger, who pitched BikeFest to the Beltline in 2021 after rediscovering a love for biking during the pandemic. 'When Tigger introduced the idea for BikeFest, we knew we had to make it happen,' said Clyde Higgs, president and CEO of Atlanta Beltline, Inc. 'The Beltline was designed for this. It was created to be a connecting point of ideas, people and common goals. A conduit for collaboration. A living, breathing engine for accessibility and inclusivity. Activations like BikeFest allow us to deliver on that promise. Tigger's vision was brilliant in its ability to bring together all the elements that make our city great.' Event Highlights: WHEN: Saturday, June 14 | Ride begins at 11 a.m. (Check-in opens at 9:30 a.m.) WHERE: Lee + White, 1070 White St SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 REGISTER & FULL EVENT SCHEDULE, UPDATES: About Big Tigger A fixture in music and media, Big Tigger rose to prominence as host of Rap City: The Basement and currently energizes Atlanta as host of The Big Tigger Morning Show and in-arena DJ for the Atlanta Hawks.

Big Tigger Revives ‘Rap City' Freestyle Booth With Ludacris, Kevin Hart At 2025 BET Awards
In one of the most nostalgic and high-energy moments of the BET Awards 2025, Big Tigger resurrected the iconic Rap City: Tha Basement freestyle booth for a special tribute performance that brought the crowd to its feet and the culture full circle. Opening the set with his signature voice and presence, Big Tigger stepped back into the booth and kicked off the session with a stanza calling for the classic show's return. 'Holler at me when you ready to bring back the booth,' he rhymed atop an instrumental served up by the legendary DJ Kid Capri on the 1's and 2's. Tigga's stanza doubled as a rallying call that set the stage for a showcase of lyrical fire and hip-hop heritage. First up was Southern rap titan Ludacris, who reminded everyone of his lyrical dominance with crisp wordplay and charismatic delivery. He dropped bar after bar, with witty one-liners like 'Bow to the master punk, Luda Bruce Leroy,' amid nods to both New York and streaming star Kai Cenat. Luda also gave props to a former Leader of the New School, rhyming, 'Cuz I flip modes when I bust rhymes for my conglomerate.' The surprise of the night came when Kid Capri teased the audience with, 'Somebody special that's gonna come up from Philly.' That 'somebody' turned out to be none other than Kevin Hart's rapping alter ego, Chocolate Droppa, making a dramatic entrance in a hoodie and durag. Rhyming over the gritty beat, Droppa unleashed a playful and braggadocious set filled with punchlines. 'Eat my food whenever I want/ Smoking big boy blunts,' he rhymed, hilariously struggling to find his footing atop the beat. However, the moment was in good humor and served as one of the more memorable moments of the night. With the return of the booth, the BET Awards not only honored a golden era of hip-hop but proved that the mic still holds power in 2025.
