Singer Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has defended him amid social media backlash.

DAILY POST reports that Burna Boy has been criticised online for being arrogant.

The development came following the singer’s recent attack on Wizkid’s DJ, DJ Tunez at a Lagos club. The incident further led to an online fight between Wizkid and Burna Boy.

Reacting to the controversy, many Nigerians criticised Burna for always getting physical with people, tagging him arrogant.

When asked about Burna Boy, she said If knowing his worth and carrying himself as such is arrogant, then it is a good thing. “And I can’t apologize for that.”

Ebuka asked: “do you mind that Burna Boy is seen as arrogant? Do you mind that you are seen as arrogant with the way you run Burna brand?

She responded: “I don’t mind honestly, I don’t mind at all. I mean any adjective they want to attach to you is ok. The thing is who are you? If knowing your worth and carrying yourself as such is arrogant, then it is a good thing. And I can’t apologize for that. Because I think we were born into a world where we were expected to put our heads down.

"First is the color of your skin, the color of your passport, for me, my gender. So, I don’t understand the concept of that life. I understand that if I know something, I know it and I expect you to realise that I know it. And if you don’t realize that I know it, then, put me to the test”, she said.

Like mother like son; a cherry doesn't fall far from its tree

Well done mama. Wetinthe DJ do am people need to ask questions before jumping into conclusions.

I have said it repeatedly, being good at something is the biggest and best source of arrogance and pride.

I call it positive pride.

Messi,

And the list goes on.

Have never for one day like this Dude. The very moment I heard of his relationship with DD, I dislike him

Self confidence is not arrogance, don't get it twisted.

A son behavior is gotten from her mother

If you marry smart woman.
You go born smart boys

If youarry lazy woman
You go born lazy boys

If you marry troublesome woman
You go born cultists

Excuse from a failed mum..........

The world is becoming something else.
Moral decadence!
The Holy Bible quotes that "Pride goes before fall"
Meanwhile here is a mother advocating it.

I really don't care about his arrogance... His penchance for violence is what irritates me.

U don't know a man/woman until he or she has money. That's when the true colours will come out!

Proverbs 16:18 says that "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall".

So many great men and women are down today because of this. It once happened to me when I became a Billionaire but by His grace, I retraced my steps after I lost everything and gradually God is lifting me up again little by little.

My advice to all who care to listen: Fear God Almighty and love others as u love urself. Do not entertain pride or wickedness, it only leads to destruction with time...

I cum in peace!!!

Fear who no fear woman in this kind on matter

She implicitly said that Burna Boy has self-confidence; she's in total support of that, but if you mistake his self-confidence for arrogance, she's okay with it. It seems most of you lack comprehension skills.

I don't think anyone here can judge him, we no know all wetin de happen between them, na wetin news show us we de take judge, that's fair but not complete, can't mk judgement with that, I'm not supporting anyone cos I no get enough information, none of us has,

I agree with her..it is good for yourself confidence and ego.

Many of the most arrogant people I have met are Westerners

They came here with their Bible are told us to be humble and not be arrogant, that is why many Africans are suffering from low self esteem

Burna trainer don speak

I agree with her in a way. I told myself this some months back
Talking from my personal life, I am too gentle and nice and it didn't take me anywhere.

Mark my words, Burna Boy will be broke by the time he is 50. No need to argue.

And the list goes on.

But Messi is not arrogant.

And pride is even different from arrogance. The latter comes with haughtiness and an attitude of contempt, rudeness and disdain for others.

Legitimate confidence, mature self assurance is different from both.

Its not impossible, character and attitude determine everything.

Stranger things have been known to happen. I am not saying its likely or even probable, no. I am just saying that men can be destroyed by their attitude. Aside from that beast called time and chance. Remember when Michael Jackson died, he was $400 Million in debt.

Until people wey arrogant pass your pikin arrogant am...Then only you will cry Mummy Burna, that's if HBP and sorrow no kill you

Knowing ones worth is one thing, going around beating and threatening people is another

Mama, pull the brakes of ya kid before others do...He is too grown nd too successful to be exhibiting the kind of rascal behavior he exhibits, which might put him in the notice of other rascal elements.

Pikin wey dem no train for house, na outsiders go help the parents train am....Mama Burna, I repeat, pull the brakes on your damn kid

This is a very bad mother VBM.

You may have ordinary reading comprehension, but what you lack is the more critical ability to read between the lines. What she really said was she doesn't care what label the world gives him, which is another way of saying there's no accountability at home.

This is where you need a man in your life.

Fathers, good fathers play a vital role in a child's life especially when a man is maturing in his late 20s to early 30s because once he loses that mentoring, the proverb,

"A fool at 40 is a fool forever"
becomes profound.

"The wise person, knowing that all things are transient, finds no reason for pride or arrogance".
