The real reason Burna Boy is always on tour – Sister reveals

Burna Boy’s sister, Ronami Ogulu, has shed light on why the Grammy-winning artist spends more time on the road than in the studio, a decision deeply rooted in family tradition and artistic philosophy.

According to her, what their mother, Bose Ogulu, built over the years was not just a management structure but a legacy grounded in live performance and authenticity. She credited their uncle, fondly called Uncle Tee, as being instrumental in assembling Burna Boy’s original live band.

“My mum’s younger brother literally scouted everyone from his church,” she revealed.

Ronami explained that this deliberate foundation shaped Burna Boy’s entire artistry.

“All of that contributed to the intention of what started today. The goal has always been live music, not just studio recording,” she said.

She added that this is why Burna Boy’s creative process and public presence often confuse fans who expect a more traditional studio-focused artist.

“I think that’s why many people are always confused, asking, ‘Why are you always on tour? Why are you guys always on the road?’ The intention has never really been about going to a studio in LA and sitting there for months,” she said.
