Bose Ogulu, Burna Boy’s manager and mother, has urged the singer to think about getting married and starting a family.
While commemorating Burna Boy’s 35th birthday on July 2nd with close friends and family, the talent manager gave advice.
Mrs Ogulu begged Burna Boy to mention “good wife and children” as the singer was wishing him a happy birthday in a video from the event that Richie 7, one of Burna Boy’s pals, posted on Snapchat.
“I wish for good health and prosperity,” the singer said when asked to make a wish.
His mother added, “Add good wife and children.”
Burna Boy revealed in an interview a few years ago that he is still unmarried and childless because he doesn’t have the time to commit to family now.
He explained that he doesn’t want to have children out of wedlock or have kids without being fully present in their lives due to his busy schedule as a musician in his prime.

In August 2025, Burna Boy addressed rumours that the secret to his making hit songs is that he avoids shaving his armpits.
Photos of Burna Boy showing his unshaved armpits have, on several occasions, sparked reactions.
In a recent interview with Apple Music, the Grammy-winning star described such claims as hilarious.
The interviewer asked: “What would you say is a common misconception about Burna Boy?”
Burna Boy replied, “One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think that it is like Samson in the Bible that [has] his power in his hair.
“There are some people that claim that my armpit is where my power is because I don’t shave. In Nigeria you hear crazy things. There are some people that think that is some voodoo sh*t, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb sh*t that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
