The 25-year old grime artist shared a screenshot of a message exchange with his mum on his social media pages following his performance.
"Good morning my hero," Stormzy's mum began.
After the Croydon-born star asked her whether she was okay, she texted again and said: "Good morning my hero you made me so so proud - you've made me a very proud mum.
"Never forget that. The phone calls, text messages was so overwhelming. I want to see you and hug you.

Another text read: "And also I am going to dance for you at church."
She wasn't alone in praising the rapper.
Adele, Ed Sheeran and Drake also praised his performance on the Pyramid Stage as a huge moment for British rap.
✊ @stormzy using his headline spot at #glastonburyfestival2019 to speak out about the injustice of young black kids being criminalised in a biased and disproportionate justice system. Humbled and inspired that he sampled my speech. Salute #Merky pic.twitter.com/iSG3PMssrd

David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham, celebrated the artist after he sampled a speech that Lammy had given about black men and the justice system.
