Upon the video’s premiere, Torion is challenging fans to a “Dinero” dance challenge called the #4MyMamaSake Challenge.

“Basically I got this dancing challenge going on called the #4MyMamaSake Challenge and it started with me saying it in my song, ‘I’m grinding hard for my mama sake’ and a lot of the dancers in Atlanta grabbed on to it and began making dance videos to it,” Torion said.

“Before every video they would say why they’re thankful for they’re mother, and why they grind hard for they mother’s sake. This challenge goes out to everyone… If you go hard everyday at whatever you do, why not go hard for moms after all she did for you ? ?”
