Charlotte-native and platinum-selling recording artist
Anthony Hamilton was stuntin' on 'em this week. He celebrated his 42nd birthday a few days ago and took to
Instagram to show off the gifts he received from
Jordan Brand, the lucrative division of Nike, run by Michael Jordan, and maker of the forever-popular
Air Jordan sneaker. A-Ham has had a friendship with MJ for several years now, something he
attributes to their "North Carolina connection." Jordan's company sent over a dozen pairs of retro Air Jordans, or J's as they're known in the streets, as well as a nice watch for Anthony's birthday. The company has also thrown parties for him in the past (see
here and
here).
That watch reminds me of one of my favorite lyrics from rapper Sauce Money, years ago: "Since my watch was a gift, there's no better time than the present."
The good times continue for A-Ham. He's
nominated for two GRAMMY Awards this year: Best R&B Song for "Pray for Me" and Best R&B Album for
Back To Love. He's up against R. Kelly, Robert Glasper, Tamia, and Tyrese in the album category. The
55th GRAMMY Awards air live Sunday, February 10, 8 p.m. on CBS.
