The thing is about Oritsè is, he gives everyone 100%, whether that's being a kind and caring person or musically giving, there's always everything that he puts into something. I'm so proud of him and his achievements, he makes me incredibly amazed at everything he's ever done. If only people could be like him more, only as the world is already a scary place at times, we need more compassion. Never stop being you, Oritsè!!! We love you and your beautiful mum, she's so lucky to have a son in you❤️
