Son Asks His Mother to Prom For This Reason and Leaves the Internet In Awe

A son asked his mother to be his prom date after missing her own and she proudly accepted. Nassir, who’s Instagram name is Nas_nbl, was inspired to ask his mother to prom when he recalled the sacrifices she made for him.

Nassir, who attends O’Hara high school in Pennslyvania, remembered his mom telling him that she missed her own prom because she’d given birth to him just six months prior. Well, the proud mother MsLadyFa, posted a screenshot of the conversation she had with her son and it instantly went viral.

“Son: Mom, would you like to be my date to my senior prom? Mom: Aww. What made you ask me? Son: Because I remember when you were getting ready for my 8th grade formal, you told me that you didn’t go to your senior prom because you had me six months prior & you rather spend your money on your 1st apartment.. Mom: 😢 I would be honored!! Son: You deserve it!,” the conversation read.

LadyFa added, “At that moment I knew I did a great job raising him.#RaisingKings #Dope Mom #DopeSon”

Jacsmachado added, “This is the most beautiful thing ever!!!! You are a king for treating your mom as a queen! Shows she raised a good man and there is nothing more beautiful than a man recognizing his mother! All the love ❤.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
