Ace Hood got one of the best Christmas gift any independent artist could ask for.
The Florida-based rapper was greeted with custom plaques from his wife, Shelah Marie, on Christmas Day. She had them made especially for him, as they account the millions of streams his music has racked up since becoming an independent Hip-Hop artist.
Shelah took to Instagram to explain the thoughtful idea as she wrote:
"When@acehood was last on a major recording label they were excellent about celebrating wins. Ace has so many plaques in the house from that era. Since Ace went independent, he hasn’t received any plaques for his projects. Ace is too damn talented not to have his flowers while he can smell them. — I got plaques made for his first two releases (Trust The Process 1 & 2) since going independent because in this house we don’t wait on the validation we want — we give it ourselves. I love you @acehood."
