Despite Winning Grammy, My Son Is A Work In Progress -- Burna Boy's Mum, Bose Ogulu

 Burna Boy's mother, Bose Ogulu has said the singer has not yet fulfilled his potential.

In a chat with BBC's Nyasha Michelle, Mrs Ogulu said though she admires her son's diligence, and hard work but he's still a work in progress.

"There are many more milestones to attain. We need to not just step down and look at what we've done, but keep doing more."

Bose Ogulu aside from birthing the Grammy Award winner is also his manager and had learnt the trade from her own father, who managed late Nigerian icon Fela Kuti.

Mrs Ogulu is also an accomplished businesswoman and linguist.

"I ran a language school for 18 years. I quickly understood the power of languages and the power of culture," she said.

She said in other to manage her son, she had to step away from the language school - a decision she says she was confident in making.

"I have known since he was probably 13 or 14 that he was going to be great at something. I had already seen him in the studio, I had already watched him form a high school band," she said.

"From when he was in JSS3, which I think would be Year 9, we started trading studio time for grades. I would say: 'OK, if you make a B or an A in this, I'll pay for studio time during your mid-term'."

However, she "wasn't prepared" for Burna Boy to drop out of university in order to pursue his burgeoning music career.

She said: "That was my problem, like 'OK you can do this, but you're almost there. How about you just finish this degree programme'.

"That's where the African in me came out. Together his father, my father and I sat down and told him the consequences of doing it his way and he was like: 'That's fine'."

Burna Boy has since won a Grammy and toured the world with his music, so the gamble has clearly paid off.

So where do the mother-son duo go from here?

"If we're doing four stadiums, let's do 10," Ms Ogulu said.

"There's always a higher level to get to - and that should be our focus."
