Nigerian singer Oritsefemi has recounted how he housed his Grammy-winning colleague, Burna Boy, during a disagreement with his mother years ago.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Oritsefemi recalled that the ‘On The Low’ artist sought his help, saying his home environment had become intolerable.
“Burna Boy came to live with me after a disagreement with his mum. He stayed with me because he felt his mom was suffocating him at home. He cried to me and said, ‘Bro, you will become somebody someday,’” Oritsefemi said.
It is worth noting that Burna Boy fired his mother as his manager in 2014 following a dispute. On July 11, 2014, the singer announced via his X (formerly Twitter) handle that his mother would no longer be his manager, stating,
“It’s been a long road to where I am today, and my mother Bose Ogulu has managed me the best she could up till this point, and I am grateful… at this point in my life and career, it is time to let my mother be my mother and let my manager be my manager. Therefore, Bose Ogulu is no longer my manager.”
