"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.

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 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.
