Burna Boy's sister, singer Nissi, dismissed viral claims that the Afrobeats star fired their mother, Bose Ogulu, as his manager amid backlash from his US tour cancellations. Responding to X posts alleging an Instagram Story announcement separating business from family, Nissi labeled the reports "FAKE NEWS," urging fans to stop spreading unverified information.
The speculation surfaced alongside low ticket sales drama for the No Sign of Weakness tour, with cancellations in Minneapolis and Chicago fueling narratives of internal fallout. Bose, known as Mama Burna, has long managed her son's career, though similar rumors circulated in 2014 before Burna Boy retracted them.
Nissi's swift rebuttal drew mixed reactions, with netizens questioning the timing amid Burna Boy's controversies but largely accepting the denial as family solidarity prevails.
