  Is Silentó secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Silentó is celebrating his 28th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper Silentó (Watch Me, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 28th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Hawk, a cultural icon

Born Ricky Lamar Hawk in Atlanta on January 22, 1998, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Hawk's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ricky Lamar hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Silentó as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 28.

Happy Birthday, Ricky Lamar, you're the best!
