The Internet holds so many treasures and we’d like to thank it for giving us this gem: Gloria Fajardo, Gloria Estefan’s mother, also known as #Rapuela.
This octogenarian spits fiercer raps than any rapper to date. She even gets an assist from her granddaughter, Emily Estefan, who lays down the sickest beatbox tracks to perfectly harmony her abuelita’s hidden talent.
#Rapuela, 87, is the only person who can make “The Happy Birthday Song” somewhat cool with the beats assist from her granddaughter.?
Happy Birthday Papiiiiiiiii ??????? from Em and #Rapuela ❤️?❤️?
