“You and @naztokio are recording me at Atlanta’s @dallasaustins studio. It was the first time I had ever properly recorded a record in a studio. You made it seem simple and safe. Everything I’ve seen you do. Was created out of passion. I enjoyed reconnecting with you again “He went on.

Mora spoke up about his cancer fight in October.

In a series of Instagram photos, the photographer recorded his life since his stage 4 cancer diagnosis, revealing that a doctor had given him 18 months to live.

The “Milkshake” singer’s husband went on to say that his symptoms began in September 2020, with “the worst pain” in his stomach, shortly after moving to a farm outside of Los Angeles with his family.

“Appetite loss. The pain in my back began to worsen… Finally, someone decided to do something about it, “Mora was writing at the time. “It was getting late. But just just in time.”

Mora revealed that after a week of back-and-forth, he finally began to get answers about what was going on, not long after he and the singer welcomed their daughter.
