He’s currently taking his End Of The World tour around Australia.
But on Saturday, The Kid Laroi surprised 15-year-old rapper Dylan Billion Dollars after watching him and his brother Damien perform on Sydney’s Pitt Street.

Dylan told 2GB radio on Monday: ‘It was crazy, an experience of a lifetime. Having someone as big as The Kid Laroi popping up in the city is crazy.’
He said he had no idea Laroi was watching them perform and revealed he would like to send the money on music equipment.
After Dylan and Damien’s performance, Laroi told the crowd: ‘Let me say these two kids are up next. Let’s make some noise.’
