Social media is abuzz after a brief but attention-grabbing interaction between Bose Ogulu, mother and manager of Burna Boy, and American rap icon Busta Rhymes at the 2025 Met Gala afterparty.
In a video that surfaced online Thursday, Busta Rhymes can be seen leaning in toward Ogulu, who initially looks surprised but then offers her cheek for a kiss.
The moment, which lasted just a few seconds, has since gone viral—fueling a wave of online chatter.
While some fans described the scene as playful and respectful, others were quick to speculate about the chemistry between the two stars. Comments ranged from humorous takes to more suggestive interpretations.
“Mama was ready to kiss him on the lips,” one user teased, while another quipped, “She was ready to risk it all!”
The exchange has especially caught the attention of Nigerian social media users, where public displays of affection, especially among prominent figures, are often met with mixed reactions.
Bose Ogulu, affectionately known as Mama Burna, has long commanded respect for her pivotal role in her son’s rise to global stardom.
Her sharp business acumen and unwavering support helped shape Burna Boy into one of Africa’s most successful music exports.
This viral moment adds yet another layer to her already dynamic public persona, reminding fans that she’s just as captivating off the red carpet as she is behind the scenes.
