Early in the week, a young lady, Uju Stella, made claims that she is
pregnant for popular singer, Burna Boy. Although the singer has said
nothing about the issue, he posted a video on his Instagram page as he
lip synced to a song in the background with the lyrics that he slept
with the girl once but now she’s claiming that she is pregnant.
Many
people believe that he was addressing the issue and he was also making
jest of the young lady. However, in an exclusive chat with Saturday
Beats, the singer’s mother said that she also read about the news on the
internet but her son is more focused on his music career and would not
dissipate energy on a lady that claims to be pregnant for him.
She
said, “My son has never said anything concerning the issue, he has
never said a word, maybe there was a song at the background of the video
that he posted online but he has never said a word concerning the
issue. What you know is what we know basically and my take on it is that
we would rather just focus on his music which primarily affects his
life than that. In Africa, it is not a criminal offence for someone to
be pregnant for somebody. If somebody says that she is pregnant for
somebody and the person refuses to accept it, you look for his family
instead of tagging a blogger. We have nothing to say to her. We don’t
know anything about any child. She can never come to me, she has already
gone to the blogger; she can never come to me.”
To buttress her
point, she said that Burna Boy just released a new video during the week
and it is enjoying massive airplay. She added that the Nigerian music
industry is one in which ladies always accuse young men of being
responsible for their pregnancies.
“It is not new; these girls
come up from time to time with different claims. My position on this is
‘no comment’. Anybody can claim anything that they want to claim. We
have absolutely nothing to say, Burna Boy is a musician and we want to
focus on his music. Nobody has time for her. We saw all the reports
online but we just chose to look the other way. In this industry, girls
are always coming up with pregnancy claims, we see it every day. We are
not bothered and we have no comment. We just recently premiered a new
video during the week and it is enjoying massive airplay. We are
focusing on the music and nothing else,” she said.
