Bose Ogulu, the mother of famous Nigerian singer Burna Boy, is undoubtedly a proud mother.
Kemi Filani reported that on Thursday, June 11th, the singer, alongside Shakira, performed at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, with their hit song “Dai Dai” live in Mexico.
The momanager, in videos making rounds online, was captured hyping her son following his World Cup Opening ceremony.
In the video, Burna was seen sitting in a car when his Gen Z mum ran up to him, hailing him for his performance. She called him the highest of them all.
The sweet moment has left many blushing online.

In 2022, she opened up on managing him, which was a form of sacrifice and not ambition. The businesswoman managed Burna’s career at the initial growth stage in 2014 and dropped because she had kids to raise, which came with a lot of responsibility. However, she fully resumed her managerial position in 2017 and has collected several awards for the African Giant, which earned her the nickname “Mama Burna.”
Since taking up her role as his manager, the singer’s career has undoubtedly skyrocketed over the years across the globe, and his proud mother has never failed to praise him.
In 2024, following his groundbreaking achievement of selling out an 80,000-capacity stadium in London, UK twice, and becoming the biggest touring African artist in the world, Bose Ogulu had praised him.
She had taken pride in himself despite losing his 4 Grammy nominations. She called her son the blueprint of Afrobeat music as she praised him for his legacy, noting how he was continuously etching his name in the sands of time.
Two years ago, Bose was left speechless over the grand gesture from Burna Boy and his siblings. She stated that she was honestly at a loss for words when it comes to her family and team. Bose said she didn’t feel like doing anything special for her birthday, but her family went above and beyond to make her day special.
That wasn’t the first time her kids had gone all out for her. For her birthday in 2023, Burna brought his mother on stage during his performance in Austin, Texas, and they enjoyed a cute mother-and-son moment before he serenaded her with love. The audience joined the singer as they sang a birthday song while kissing her.
