"Burna Boy didn’t fire me" - his mum speaks for the first time

A few weeks ago, music sensation Burna Boy took to Twitter to announce that his mum, Bose Ogulu was no longer his manager (read here). Speaking for the first time about it, his mum insists she wasn't fired and she still manages most of his business affairs.

Mrs Ogulu tells Punch
“I was not in the country when the story broke and I have said I would not make any comment on it because it is totally unimportant. Whether I am his manager or not, he is my child and there is no role bigger than that. I am so shocked about how people made a big deal of the issue. I am not a musician or an entertainer, so I don’t owe anyone an explanation but he has done enough." Continue....
“They should just leave the poor boy alone. I am not a twitter reading person; I talk to him on a daily basis, so I am not interested in what is on twitter. I have absolutely no problem with my child and as far as his career goes, I still do what I have to do. I still do everything I used to do but I cannot always do everything. I was out of the country for about eight weeks, how much can I do? There is no issue with us and there is no reason to feel anyhow. It is something we discussed and I still do what I have to do, I still manage some of his accounts, transactions and endorsements but I can’t do everything. There is no issue there at all. If I have an issue with my son I would go and meet him. I still handle his corporate shows because nobody else can do that for now. I am only one person and I am not a young person and he is going bigger every day. This is not something that should have been misconceived at all.”
She also also reacted to Burna Boy's recent tweet where he said he will never get married
 “The boy is 23 and if he feels that at his age he would not marry, he can change his mind in five years. He can even change his mind tomorrow. I am just laughing that he said he would not get married. How many people have said that in the industry and are married today? When I was younger, I remember saying that I would not get pregnant when I saw pregnant women but now, I have three children,” she said.

    2. Its high time miss linda addressed the issue of cyber bullying on this young man mr onyx. I don't care what his sexual orientation is,the way some libers insults him here is becoming disgusting and it shows a high level of immaturity. If d dude wasn't d type with a tough skin,he would have been forced to do something crazy thinking the whole world hates him..its not even certain that he is gay..let the young man be! The guy is full of life and having fun in this crazy world that no one is fully promised of tomorrow..so let us mind our business and cut him some slack. Thanks.

  14. Mothers are "the most special" in their children's lives; they might not admit it, but it's true.
    No matter what happened, no one can take the place of a mother.
