Rumors are flying—and not everyone’s buying them. Reports recently surfaced online claiming that Bose Ogulu, Burna Boy’s mother and longtime manager, had been relieved of her duties. But here’s where it gets controversial: Burna’s sister, Nissi, has now stepped in to shut down those claims completely.
The story began trending after ChaftsAfrica published what it said was a screenshot from Burna Boy’s alleged Instagram story, where he supposedly announced that his mother would no longer manage him. Not long after, a user on X (formerly Twitter) going by @Joyfultips amplified the chatter, posting, “Just heard Burna Boy fired his mom, this whole thing is getting crazier.”
Nissi, who is also a singer and creative in her own right, wasn’t having any of it. Quoting the post, she called out the circulating rumor for exactly what she believed it was: “FAKE NEWS.” Her firm dismissal quickly gained traction among fans who were confused by the conflicting reports.
And this is the part most people miss: the timing of this allegation is especially suspicious. The rumor hit just as Burna Boy’s U.S. ‘No Sign of Weakness’ tour was reportedly canceled due to sluggish ticket sales—an issue that already had fans buzzing. According to reports from the Daily Post, the decision to pull the shows came Wednesday evening after promoters allegedly struggled to attract enough buyers.
Could this management drama be pure coincidence, or is someone trying to shift attention away from the ticket sales controversy? Fans are split on social media, and the debate isn’t dying down anytime soon.
