Add Good Wife, Children To Your Birthday Wishes, Burna Boy’s Mum Tells Singer

Music executive and mother of Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy, Bose Ogulu, has stirred conversations online after playfully urging her son to include a wife and children in his birthday wishes.

Ogulu made the remark in a heartfelt birthday message while celebrating the Afrobeats superstar’s 35th birthday with close friends and family on July 2nd.

In a clip from the event shared by one of Burna Boy’s associates, Richie 7 via Snapchat, Mrs Ogulu asked Burna Boy to include “good wife and children” while the singer was making his birthday wishes.

“I wish for good health and prosperity,” the singer said when asked to make a wish.

His mother added, “Add good wife and children.”

The playful remark immediately generated reactions across social media, with many fans describing it as a typical mother’s heartfelt desire for her son to settle down and start a family.

Others viewed the message as a lighthearted expression of parental love rather than pressure, noting that Ogulu has consistently been one of Burna Boy’s biggest supporters and has played a pivotal role in managing his successful career.

Burna Boy, one of Africa’s biggest music exports, has often kept details of his private life away from the spotlight despite public interest in his relationships. The singer has not publicly responded to his mother’s birthday message.

The exchange has nevertheless reignited discussions among fans about the award-winning artiste’s personal life, with many flooding social media with birthday wishes while reacting to his mother’s humorous appeal.
