Bose Ogulu, the mother and manager of singer Burna Boy, has been acknowledged for her contributions to his success and her involvement with the Spaceship Collective.
She has been nominated for Best Manager of the Year at the MusicWeek Awards for 2025.
The MusicWeek Awards will be held at JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London on May 8.
This isn’t the first time Burna Boy’s mother has received international recognition.
In 2022, she won the Manager Of The Year award at the Artist & Manager Awards in London.
The standout moment of the event was when Ogulu was honored with awards by her son, Burna Boy, while Sheniece Charway, the artist relations manager at YouTube Music, was there too.
