Singer Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has defended him amid social media backlash.
The Nigerian superstar, Burna Boy, has been criticised online for being arrogant.
The development came following the singer’s recent altercation with Wizkid’s DJ, DJ Tunez, at a Lagos club. The incident further led to an online exchange between Wizkid and Burna Boy.
Reacting to the controversy, many Nigerians criticised Burna for allegedly getting physical with people, tagging him as arrogant.
However, defending the singer’s behaviour during an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels TV, Bose Ogulu stated that she does not mind being seen as arrogant.
When asked about Burna Boy, she said that if knowing his worth and carrying himself as such is arrogance, then it is a good thing. “And I can’t apologise for that.”
Ebuka asked: “Do you mind that Burna Boy is seen as arrogant? Do you mind that you are seen as arrogant with the way you run Burna Boy’s brand?”
She responded: “I don’t mind honestly, I don’t mind at all. I mean any adjective they want to attach to you is okay. The thing is, who are you? If knowing your worth and carrying yourself as such is arrogance, then it is a good thing. And I can’t apologise 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 colour of your passport, 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 realise that I know it. And if you don’t realise that I know it, then put me to the test,” she said.
