Friday, April 24, 2026 - Singer Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has defended him amid social media backlash.
Burna Boy has been criticised online for being arrogant.
The development came following the singer’s recent attack on
Wizkid’s DJ, DJ Tunez at a Lagos club. The incident further led to an online
fight between Wizkid and Burna Boy.
Reacting to the controversy, many Nigerians criticised Burna
for always getting physical with people, tagging him arrogant.
However, defending the singer behavior during an interview
with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV, Bose Ogulu stated that she doesn’t mind
being seen as arrogant.
When asked about Burna Boy, she said If knowing his worth
and carrying himself as such is arrogant, then it is a good thing. “And I can’t
apologize for that.”
Ebuka asked: “do you mind that Burna Boy is seen as
arrogant? Do you mind that you are seen as arrogant with the way you run Burna
brand?
She responded: “I don’t mind honestly, I don’t mind at all.
I mean any adjective they want to attach to you is ok. The thing is who are
you? If knowing your worth and carrying yourself as such is arrogant, then it
is a good thing. And I can’t apologize for that. Because I think we were born
into a world where we were expected to put our heads down.
“First is the color of your skin, the color of your
passport, for me, my gender. So, I don’t understand the concept of that life. I
understand that if I know something, I know it and I expect you to realise that
I know it. And if you don’t realize that I know it, then, put me to the test”,
she said.
