Afrobeats musician Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has talked candidly about her son’s attitude and why she thinks people should accept his behaviour despite his contentious moments.
During an interview with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV, she talked about her kid and pointed out that her tweets and Burna Boy’s are very different.
She explained that trying to pull too hard at one facet of the Grammy-winning artist’s personality could harm everything else that makes him special, drawing a comparison to a tapestry.
“You can always notice the difference between when I tweet and when Burna tweets. What I’ve come to learn is that artists like him, they’re like tapestry. If you pull at one thread too hard, everything will unravel.
“So you must make allowances for this person being himself, because it’s the same emotion that what you love about him comes from. Within, we do what we can. I usually grab his phone from him anytime he goes wild on Instagram Live,” she said.
Her remarks demonstrate the equilibrium she strives to uphold in her role as Burna Boy’s mother, especially when his vocal nature takes center stage on social media.
The musician has frequently garnered notice for his online actions and remarks, particularly during Instagram Live sessions when he has been known to address a variety of topics and chat openly with fans.
The comments made by Burna Boy’s mother provide a another viewpoint on the nature of the award-winning musician, implying that the same qualities that occasionally spark controversy also contribute to his widespread admiration.
