Betty Simpson is ruling over Instagram right now.

The 80-year-old grandmother is battling cancer, and her great-grandson started an account to get her some support by way of social media. In just about two months since Zach Belden started the account for his great-grandma, Betty has gained more than 150,000 followers. But it's not hard to see the charm behind her.

"He loves me so much, that's why he did it," Simpson said of her great-grandson. "He doesn't want to lose me and he's just good to me." 

Even Pharrell gave her some props, too:
