Bose Ogulu defends Burna Boy amid backlash over character

Bose Ogulu, the mother and manager of music star Burna Boy, has defended her son’s character, amid the claims of him being arrogant.

Bose, while speaking with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, revealed that she is unbothered by the claims made about her son’s character, adding that the music star is confident and not proud.

She explained that being a public figure comes with its peculiarities, adding that most people draw conclusions about celebrities that they have never met in person.

“I don’t mind, honestly, I don’t mind at all. I mean, any adjective they want to attach to you is ok. The thing is, who are you? If knowing your worth and carrying yourself as such is arrogant, then it is a good thing. And I can’t apologize for that. Because I think we were born into a world where we were expected to put our heads down. First is the colour of your skin, the color of your passport, and for me, my gender. So, I don’t understand the concept of that life. I understand that if I know something, I know it, and I expect you to realize that I know it. And if you don’t realize that I know it, then, put me to the test”, she said.
