Burna Boy’s Sister Denies Reports That Mother Was Fired as Manager

Speculation over changes in Burna Boy’s management team made headlines this week after reports claimed that the singer had allegedly removed his mother, Bose Ogulu, from her role as his manager. The news circulated widely on social media, including an Instagram story shared by ChaftsAfrica and reactions from Twitter users, with one account, @Joyfultips, posting: “Just heard Burna Boy fired his mom, this whole thing is getting crazier.”

Responding to the claims, Nissi Ogulu, Burna Boy’s sister and fellow singer, dismissed the reports as unfounded, posting a concise rebuttal on social media: “FAKE NEWS.”

The report comes shortly after controversy surrounding Burna Boy’s US tour, No Sign of Weakness, which was cancelled on Wednesday evening amid alleged low ticket sales. Observers have speculated about connections between the tour’s challenges and management changes, but Nissi’s statement clarifies that the claims regarding their mother’s role are inaccurate.

As of now, Bose Ogulu remains Burna Boy’s manager, and no official announcement has been made by the singer or his management team regarding any changes to his professional representation. The incident highlights how quickly unverified news can spread on social media, especially during high-profile events such as international tours.
