Manchester rapper Aitch has seen a surge in popularity among fans after his mother's appearance on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'. The 22-year-old, whose real name is Harrison Armstrong, has been in the spotlight since his 2018 freestyle 'Straight Rhymez' went viral. Now, viewers are praising his mum for her down-to-earth personality on the show.
Aitch, who grew up in New Moston, north Manchester, with his father a pipe fitter and his mother a homemaker, has spoken about his close family ties. His debut album 'Close To Home' features a heartfelt track 'My G' dedicated to his younger sister Gracie, who has Down's Syndrome. 'I don't care whether that gets one stream or one billion streams,' he said. 'I just wanted her to hear it and know where I stand.'
The rapper's rise to fame began when a friend posted a video of him rapping drunk in a park. Despite initial anger, the clip garnered 10,000 views, leading to more uploads and eventually a record deal with Sony's Since 93 label. He has since scored seven UK top 10 singles and collaborated with stars like Stormzy, AJ Tracey, and Ed Sheeran.
Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration for Aitch's mother, with many commenting on her warmth and humour during her time in the jungle. The rapper himself has remained supportive, stating that his family's support has been crucial to his success.
