    This dude is crazily smart...He keeps a tight leech on his circle of fame and wealth, which is a good thing. His mum and sister, holding critical positions in his arts and craft, is an insanely maad move. Keeping the wealth in the family is a great decision.

    Burna Boy is amazing. I couldn't believe his Mother is his Manager, that is Black African Love right there. This Teamwork reminds me of when Kanye West was good and also when he also worked with his Mother.
    Let's hope everything Burna Boy and his Mother do are Positive and are to Uplift and Push Black Africans forward. I'm really amazed though man. As soon as I heard that Burna Boy's Mother is his Manager, all I could say is "Wow"!
