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.
