Macklemore celebrates his grandma's 100th birthday in sweet video
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
The internet can't get enough of Macklemore and his softer side.
Macklemore's new music video, 'Glorious', features a very special leading lady - his grandmother.
The rapper surprised Helen Schott on her 100th birthday in the sweetest way.
He showed up to her house in California and announced that he would be spending the entire day with her.
“Today, we’re going to do whatever you want to do,” he told her.
An excited Helen replied: “Oh God, I want to do it all.”
Macklemore captured their day together on camera, and used the footage for his latest video.
The pair ride around the neighbourhood in a convertible, and can be seen egg bombing a house.
Helen also flips the bird at one point.
They then go shopping for sneakers, visit an arcade, sing karaoke. She was even treated to a lap dance by a stripper.
Macklemore also visited a tattoo parlour, where he got his grandmother's name permanently inked on his shoulder. She held his hand during the process.
'Glorious' has been watched over nine-million times on YouTube since it was released on July 6.
