Vusi Nova poured out his heart in the video and revealed that his mother never got a chance to see him perform live, despite being his biggest supporter. He shared how he is willing to give away all his worldly possessions just to have her at one of his shows.

“I’m feeling some type of way about it because my mom has always been my biggest supporter. She has never seen me perform live. If she were still around, I’d have made sure that she had a front-row seat. I’ve seen other artists have their moms there while they’re on stage, whilst doing their thing, and I’m like, ’I’d give anything for that’,” he added.
