For his grandmother’s centennial celebration, rapper Jake decided to create a memorable experience rather than the usual extravagant music video. Instead of the typical scenes of wild parties and flashy lifestyles, he dedicated a day to his beloved Grandma Ruth and documented their time together.
The video for Jake’s track “Radiant” has captured the hearts of viewers everywhere, showcasing the tender bond between him and his grandma. It begins with a delightful surprise as he arrives at her home, revealing that they will spend the day doing whatever she desires. Their charming escapades unfold throughout the video.
They set off in Jake’s convertible, kicking things off with some mischievous fun by egging a few houses—an unexpected start, but certainly looks like a blast! Next, Grandma treats herself to some stylish new orthopedic shoes before heading to a bar for karaoke, followed by a trip to the arcade where they enjoy games like skee-ball. Grandma even manages to win at the claw machine!
The fun continues as she watches her grandson get a tattoo, followed by some light-hearted shopping at a thrift store. We hope Jake and Grandma Ruth didn’t end up popping any tags. They eventually return to her home, where friends have gathered to surprise her with a birthday party and cake. Meanwhile, Jake finds a moment to dance outside, perhaps trying to stay clear of a surprise entertainer who arrives for the ladies.
The video concludes with the charming duo taking a scenic drive near the water, holding hands on a dock as the sun sets, leaving Grandma’s heart full from her unforgettable day with Jake.
In the comment section on YouTube, Jake himself expressed his love: “Grandma – nothing is more Radiant 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, Jake.”
It’s no surprise that viewers are moved by this touching tribute:
- “This video truly made me smile. I almost shed a tear.”
- “So inspiring! I adore this video sooo much. I love my grandma, who is 78 and unwell. I cherish every moment with her. This video will stay with me forever.”
- “1. Lie down 2. Try not to cry 3. Cry a looooot.”
The video has amassed over 4 million views within just two days, with thousands of comments echoing sentiments like, “Oh no, I need to call my grandma now.”
