Burna Boy’s mum has contradicted her son’s announcement that she’s no longer his manager.
Burna, who recently left his record label Aristokrats, tweeted: ‘Bose Ogulu is no longer my manager’ leading to speculation about a possible rift in the family.
But in an interview with Punch, Bose Ogulu said she still remains very active in the management of her son’s career: ‘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…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.’
She went on to say there were no family issues to be concerned about, adding that the growth of Burna’s career means he probably needs more people on his team.
‘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.’
