In a remarkable demonstration of familial affection, rapper Ben Thompson recently celebrated his grandmother’s centenary milestone with a heartfelt gift that has garnered widespread admiration across various social media platforms. In contrast to the extravagant spectacles often associated with the hip-hop genre, Thompson opted for a more intimate and meaningful approach: documenting a day spent with his beloved Grandma, Helen, on her 100th birthday.
A Day of Joy and Adventure
The video, accompanying his uplifting track “Glorious,” showcases the duo’s enchanting adventures throughout the day, beginning with a surprise visit to Grandma’s home. Thompson informs her that they will engage in activities of her choosing, thus setting the stage for a series of delightful experiences. Their journey begins with an unexpected choice of mischief—egg-throwing at local residences—possibly an unconventional yet amusing start to their day.
Memorable Moments
Following this, Grandma receives a new pair of orthopedic shoes, and they continue their escapades with karaoke at a bar and games at an arcade. Notably, Thompson captures the sweet moment when his grandmother triumphs at a claw machine game. The day also includes a tattoo session for Thompson, followed by a lighthearted grocery store joyride. As an amusing nod to his career, he swings by a thrift shop, where one can only hope they kept their spending in check.
A Heartwarming Conclusion
As the day concludes, the two return to Grandma’s home, where friends await to surprise her with a celebratory gathering. Thompson humorously takes a moment to dance solo outside, perhaps to sidestep an unexpected entertainer. The video culminates in a picturesque sunset, where they share a tender moment by the water, underscoring the profound bond between them.
A Touching Message
In a touching postscript, Thompson himself commented beneath the video: “Grandma – nothing is more Glorious than you. Happy 100th. Thank you for the Werther’s Originals. The advice. And for being a part of something that I’ll treasure forever. Love.”
