Macklemore crashes wedding with his mom
Macklemore crashed a wedding in Washington D.C. after his mom urged him to join the party unannounced.
The 32-year-old rapper was visiting the capital with his mother Julie Schott and on Saturday (14May16) they stumbled upon nuptials at a local hotel.
Macklemore documented the events on Snapchat, and in one video, he
happily poses with wedding guests during the reception, and added a
caption which read: "When your mom tells you to crash the wedding."
He shared another shot of Julie walking by the party, writing,
"When your mom is really trying to crash the wedding", along with a
laughing emoji.
At one point, his 2013 track with Ryan Lewis, Thrift Shop, even
played at the bash and he danced to the hit along with fellow
partygoers.
The wedding gatecrash was the second unexpected moment he had on
Saturday - earlier in the day he also posted a video on Snapchat of
him walking behind a student wearing a graduation gown and cap
while singing, "Congratulations you graduated".
The star was in Washington D.C. to meet with President Barack Obama
at the White House, where he chatted with the leader about opioids
for his new MTV documentary.
Macklemore, who checked in to rehab in 2008, was reminded of his
constant battle to stay clean following a 2014 relapse. With his
new film, he hopes to raise awareness about the opioid addiction
epidemic that affects two million Americans.
The rapper spoke candidly to Obama about his own drug abuse
issues.
