“Ketch di skank nuh! Click the link in my bio to Subscribe (PRESCRIBE) to our brand new YouTube channel, Mama & Me. There’s never a dull moment with her. She’s such a huge blessing,” she added.

Mama & Me is structured as a culinary-based show, focusing largely on Alaine and her mom showing off their skills in the kitchen while sharing recipes.

Alaine admits in the first episode, “Chicken B***y Outta Door?” that she is a vegan, nonetheless, the duo demonstrates how to prepare callaloo, mackerel and food (boiled bananas, and sweet potatoes).

However, the show while centered on cooking also highlights other aspects of the singer and her mom’s life, as Alaine is seen in episode two, “Porridge and Pigtails” taking her dogs to be groomed.

The 41-year-old artiste who is best known for hits such as No Ordinary Love, Sincerely, and Rise In Love was baptized in 2018 and has been repositioning herself as a gospel singer.
