Bose Ogulu, the mother of Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy, has written a beautiful note to him on his 35th birthday.
Sharing photos of her surprising the singer with a cake while he was performing on stage, she said watching him grow into the man he is has been one of her greatest privileges.
She described her son’s journey as one built on faith, resilience, discipline, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in who God created you to be.
Bose appreciated him for making her proud every single day as she rained prayers on him.
“Happy 35th birthday, my son.
Watching you grow into the man you are today has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Your journey has never been ordinary; it has been built on faith, resilience, discipline, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in who God created you to be.
As you step into this new chapter, my prayer is that God continues to order your steps, preserve your peace, protect your purpose, and expand your influence. May your light never dim, and may you always remain grounded in the values that have brought you this far.
Thank you for making me proud every single day.
Keep soaring, keep breaking barriers, and keep inspiring generations to come.
I love you beyond words, today and always.
Happy 35th birthday, Damini. May your best years still be ahead of you”.
Kemi Filani reported a few days ago that on his birthday, the singer was serenaded with love by his family. In one of the clips, the singer was seen getting emotional over the love and surprise from his family. Burna was seen with his head down as his mother and sisters comforted him.
His mother, Bose Ogulu, while sending him wishes, demanded a wife and asked him not to wish for a car as he blew out the candles on his cake.
At his 35th birthday party in Portugal, Bose stole the spotlight with her Gen Z dance steps.
Mrs Ogulu is undoubtedly proud of her son, as she never misses an opportunity to express it in her birthday epistle to him.
Two years ago, on his 33rd birthday, she blessed netizens with throwback photos of him, praying that God would bless him with wisdom, grace, mercy, and favour, stating that his greatness can neither be ignored nor denied.
To celebrate his 32nd birthday, she and her other children had surprised him on stage during his performance in the Netherlands with a pre-birthday celebration. Bose and her daughters stormed the stage with balloons and instrumentalists singing birthday songs, leaving the singer taken aback.
On his 31st birthday, she pleaded with him to tone down his madness and expressed happiness in how the singer had made her a proud mum with his numerous achievements.
Last month, following her son’s performance alongside Shakira at the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, she hyped him, calling him the highest of them all.
In an interview, 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.”
