Abigail Commey (Owuo) – A Mother’s Strength, A Son’s Inspiration! Behind every great success story, there is often a silent force, a pillar of strength, and a guiding light. For Stormzy, the internationally acclaimed British-Ghanaian rapper, that force is Mrs. Bishop Abigail Akweley Commey aka Mama Stormzy—his mother, mentor, and biggest supporter. Born and raised in Ghana, Abigail later moved to the UK, where she worked tirelessly to provide a stable foundation for her children. As a single mother, she instilled in Stormzy and his siblings the values of hard work, resilience, and faith. She believed in her son’s dreams long before the world recognized his talent, encouraging him to pursue his passion despite societal and industry challenges. Her unwavering support has been evident throughout Stormzy’s career. From featuring in his music videos like “Superheroes” to proudly standing by him at major award ceremonies, Abigail has become a beloved figure in Stormzy’s journey. Their mother-son bond resonates deeply with fans, symbolizing the strength of African mothers and their sacrifices for their children’s futures. Beyond being Stormzy’s mother, Abigail represents the everyday struggles and triumphs of immigrant mothers who work tirelessly to create opportunities for their children. Her influence has shaped not only a global music icon but also a young man committed to giving back—whether through philanthropy, education initiatives, or uplifting the next generation of Black talent.
