Bose Ogulu, the mother and manager of award-winning music star Burna Boy, has penned an appreciation post to some of his colleagues.
Kemi Filani reported during the weekend that Burna Boy made history again after selling out an 80,000-capacity stadium in London, UK. The groundbreaking achievement made him the biggest touring African artist in the world.
Following this, Mama Burna, as she is fondly called, took to her Instagram page to express gratitude to his colleagues and the team behind the incredible performance.
She appreciated the likes of Omah Lay, Pheelz, Odumodublvck, Timaya and others for coming through for her son and supporting him willingly.
“Just when they thought the night was nearly over, the music party scene thrilled with a star-studded line-up
@mrfunny1_ started off looking for “ The African Giant.”

In another post, she appreciated her team, who she described as amazing for their job well done, as she noted how she couldn’t do it without any of them. The proud mum stated that behind every great stadium show, there is a village of talented individuals bringing it to life.

Grateful for my amazing team
I couldn’t do it without all of you. Bowing down with love and appreciation!”.
In 2022, Burna Boy’s mother had opened up on managing him, which was a form of sacrifice and not ambition.
The businesswoman managed Burna’s career at the initial growth stage in 2014 and dropped because she had kids to raise, which came with a lot of responsibility. However, she fully resumed her managerial position in 2017 and has collected several awards for the African Giant, which earned her the nickname “Mama Burna.”
After taking her role as his manager, the singer’s career has undoubtedly skyrocketed over the years across the globe, and his proud mother has never failed to praise him.
Months back, Bose had taken pride in himself despite losing his 4 Grammy nominations. She called her son the blueprint of Afrobeat music as she praised him for his legacy, noting how he is continuously etching his name in the sands of time and further described him as the gift of God that adds blessings and no sorrow.
Last year, Bose Ogulu had expressed pride in him for his incredible performance at the Dreamville festival. Sharing a photo of her, Akon, and Burna Boy, she stated that Burna Boy had brought the house down, and she was still shaking from his performance.
