AML fam, I shared with you all recent news by artist Burna Boy that his mother was no longer his manager. He had taken to twitter to make the announcement a few weeks ago. His mother now responds to his statement on a recent interview with the Punch Nigeria:
“I was not in the country when the story broke and I have said I would not make any comment on it because it is totally unimportant.
Whether I am his manager or not, he is my child and there is no role bigger than that. I am so shocked about how people made a big deal of the issue. I am not a musician or an entertainer, so I don’t owe anyone an explanation…They should just leave the poor boy alone. I am not a twitter reading person; I talk to him on a daily basis, so I am not interested in what is on twitter. I have absolutely no problem with my child and as far as his career goes, I still do what I have to do. I still do everything I used to do but I cannot always do everything.
There is no issue with us and there is no reason to feel anyhow. It is something we discussed and I still do what I have to do, I still manage some of his accounts, transactions and endorsements but I can’t do everything. There is no issue there at all. If I have an issue with my son I would go and meet him. I still handle his corporate shows because nobody else can do that for now.
I am only one person and I am not a young person and he is going bigger every day. This is not something that should have been misconceived at all.” –Punch Newspaper
