Veteran singer, Oritse Femi, has revealed that popular afrobeat singer, Burna Boy, once lived with him.
Oritse Femi disclosed this in a recent interview with a media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
According to him, Burna Boy had disagreement with his mother, believed she was showing him much attention and barely gave him a little space.
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’.”
The Daily Crucible reports that recalls that Burna Boy at a time sacked his mum as his manager in 2014 after a disagreement.
He announced it on July 11, 2014, via his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
He tweeted then, “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.”
But the issue was resolved years later and his mother resumed managing him since 2017.
The singer’s relationship with his mother in the eye of the world has been strong and enviable.
It is a fact that Burna Boy’s mother has remained his manager afterwards. She follows him to his shows in Nigeria and abroad.
During the last Mother’s Day celebration, the ‘Odogwu’ of Nigeria’s music industry almost crashed the internet space with the news of how she felicitated her mother that day.
Burna Boy reportedly gifted his mother with a luxury car to celebrate the mother’s day for her.
The Daily Crucible reported that Burna Boy in a recent statement revealed why he doesn’t have a child yet.
The award winning singer said he would have kids when he could give them the attention they rightfully deserved.
He cited his parent’s love for him as an example of what he craved for his future kids but said his busy lifestyle won’t give him that luxury of time and space for kids now.
