In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Nigerian singer Oritsefemi shared how he supported his colleague, Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, during a family disagreement years ago.
Oritsefemi remembered how Burna Boy reached out to him, expressing that his living situation with his mother had become tense and uncomfortable.
He said, “Burna Boy came to live in my house after a disagreement with his mum. He dey come dey with me because he thought his mom was suffocating him in his own house. He cried to me. And said, ‘Bro, you will become somebody someday’.”
This incident occurred after Burna Boy fired his mother as his manager in 2014, announcing the decision on his social media platform at the time.
He wrote, “It’s been a long road to where I am today and my mother Bose Ogulu has managed me the best she could up till this point and am grateful…at this point in my life and career, it is time to let my mother be my mother and let my manager be my manager, therefore Bose Ogulu is no longer my manager.”
