The mother explained:

He stated that he wanted to eat yam on a Saturday. I didn't have any at home when I was doing the laundry, so I wasn't sure if I should stop and go to the store to get any. But, I prepared him some unripe plantains because I had them on hand. When he saw the stew, he broke down in tears and thought about how much better it would have tasted with cooked yam instead of the plantain. His grandmother, Nana, began singing a strange song for him to stop him from sobbing, and as she sang, the laughing began until it subsided.

According to Rosina, his mother, the video was not intended to leave their house. She confessed that she did not know what to do the first day she watched the video, and if she had found the person who leaked the footage that day, she would have made it a police case. She added that she believed it was a video the boy's uncle recorded to deliver to his father.

She added:

He couldn’t send it, and it stayed on the phone. But his uncle sold the phone, and the person who bought it got access to the video. His friend transferred it and released it.
