Oritsefemi's decision to share intimate details about Burna Boy's past, including the Grammy winner seeking refuge at his home due to issues with his mother, has drawn widespread backlash from Nigerians.
Nigerian musician Oritsefemi has found himself in hot water after unveiling startling personal details about his colleague, Burna Boy, and the Grammy winner's relationship with his mother, Bose Ogulu, in a recent interview. The revelation has led to heavy criticism from Nigerians, who disapprove of Oritsefemi sharing such private information.
During the interview with media personality Chude, Oritsefemi disclosed that Burna Boy had left his home to stay with him due to feeling stifled by his mother. According to Oritsefemi, Burna Boy arrived at his place in tears, and he consoled him, assuring him that he would achieve great things one day.
However, this candid revelation has not been well-received by Nigerians, who have taken to social media to express their disapproval of Oritsefemi's actions. "If I lived with you and cried out of frustration, you honestly do not have the right to share that story… Those were my dark times, let me share the story or take it to my grave," one Nigerian commented, criticizing Oritsefemi for betraying Burna Boy's trust.
Another Nigerian stated, "There are some things that should remain unsaid," highlighting the belief that Oritsefemi should have respected Burna Boy's privacy and refrained from sharing such personal details. Reactions have also touched upon the potential impact on Burna Boy's relationship with his mother, with one Nigerian noting, "It's not his place to share this kind of gist, especially knowing Burna's relationship with his mom and the entire public."
While some Nigerians have defended Oritsefemi, claiming he was simply being honest, the overwhelming sentiment seems to be one of disapproval, with many accusing the singer of betraying Burna Boy's trust and disrespecting his privacy.
