A TikTok clip featuring a grown son celebrating his mother has gone viral, sparking various reactions online. The video has raised concerns about cultural values in Africa, with many viewers expressing disapproval of the son’s way of honoring his mother.
In the footage, the Ghanaian man, now middle-aged, praises his mother, emphasizing that she is his top priority and comes before any other woman in his life. He expresses gratitude for her role in shaping who he is today, thanking her for being the best mom.
However, the moment that drew the most attention occurred during the celebration. The son and mother shared a hug, but the son playfully interacted with her backside, prompting a mixed response from viewers. The mother, smiling, then turned to face the camera, and the son swayed behind her in a cozy pose.
In sharing the video, the son wrote, “This woman comes first in my life. My mummy is my priority. She comes before any other woman. I owe all my success to her and God. Thanks for being the best mum I could ever ask for.”
