Recently, Burna Boy stunned many of his followers when he took to Twitter to announce the firing of his mum, Bose Ogulu, as his manager.

“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… All bookings and enquirers for BURNA BOY should now be referred to burnaboybookings@gmail.com. Thanks for your understanding,” he tweeted.

Just as he posted these series of tweets, the social media was in a frenzy as the news trended endlessly and the dancehall star was forced to remove the tweets and replace it with another. “So glad to have my mum/bestfriend back. No more business!!‘ the music star retweeted.

While different reasons have been adduced to the parting of ways of Burna Boy and his mother/Manager, money has been singled out as the major cause of the strained business relationship.

Unconfirmed reports have it that the Aristokrat Records’ leading act, has not been happy with the way his finances were being handled by his manager mother.

Bose Ogulu, who has managed Burna Boy for the past few years, is the daughter of Benson Idonije, a veteran broadcaster and highlife critic who once managed Afrobeat creator, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

The split is coming at a time strong rumours have been swirling around over his future with Aristokrat Records, the label that brought him to the stardom.
