Celebrating her life, the king of vocals praised his mum for raising him with lots of love and care she showed him, adding that she loved him more than he loves himself.

In the song, the ‘Ex-Wangu’ hitmaker promised to make his late mother proud.

“I love it when you smile, mama, smile where you are. Unanipenda kushinda vile najipanda nataka ukiniona daily unasema my son, you have made it; I wanna make you proud,” he sang.

Until her demise, Mr Seed’s mother had been ailing from an undisclosed illness and had been admitted to the hospital. 

Before she passed on, the musician reached out to his fans, asking them to pray for his ailing mother, who had been battling a serious condition since last year.
