Without a doubt, JID has earned his spot as one of the most respected rappers of his generation—a sentiment validated by his recent recognition from the GRAMMYs. To honor his incredible trajectory, Rémy Martin and UPROXX recently hosted an exclusive My Celebration event at Lavan Midtown in New York City, gathering the artist’s closest circle and most dedicated supporters for an unforgettable night.
The atmosphere was electric, fueled by custom Rémy Martin VSOP cocktails and the sounds of longtime collaborator Christo, who held down the decks throughout the evening. The event served as a true family affair, highlighted by a surprise guest appearance from Spillage Village singer Mereba, which bridged the gap between JID’s creative inner circle and his loyal fanbase. The night culminated in an intimate performance where JID took the stage, delivering a set that had the entire room rapping along to every word.
It has been a banner year for the Atlanta-based lyricist. His project God Does Like Ugly earned two GRAMMY nominations, including a nod for Best Rap Album, while his extensive tour schedule saw him performing across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Reflecting on this whirlwind of success during his performance, JID shared a heartfelt moment with the audience: “I love ya’ll so much, man. It’s been a crazy year for ya boy, but I’m still rock ’n’ roll.”
For those who have followed his journey since the release of The Never Story, the event felt like a well-deserved victory lap. It was a testament to his growth as an artist and the enduring bond he shares with his day-one supporters.
