In a recent interview, Ronami Ogulu, the sister of Nigerian music star Burna Boy, offered a glimpse into the unique dynamics of her family and shed light on Burna Boy’s meticulous approach to his music. Ronami, who also serves as the Chief Operations Officer of Spaceship Collective, spoke candidly about her brother and their mother, Bose Ogulu, revealing their shared temperament and passion.
Ronami described Burna Boy and their mother as having a distinct emotional intensity, saying, “I feel like my mum and my brother have the same temperament, which is really cold or really hot. The flip side of that is that they’re the nicest people in the family. Damini will walk into a room and greet every single person; I’m not like that.” She highlighted their warmth and kindness despite their extreme personalities.
In a viral video clip, Ronami also touched upon the team dynamics at Spaceship Collective, attributing their success to a collective sense of “craziness.” She joked about the eccentricities of her team, noting, “Everybody brings something to the table and it works. I think it also works because we are all a bit crazy, so it works out, and it even shows in the people we hire.”
Regarding Burna Boy’s music, Ronami praised her brother’s thoughtful approach to album production. She remarked, “The music is my biggest factor and I always say this to him, nobody can put an album together as well as him. The thought he puts into every single transition musically, how the songs transition into each other, if he’s doing a skit, there’s an intention behind it.” She admitted, however, that some of his creative choices, like certain skits, initially puzzled her.
The interview resonated with many fans, who took to social media to share their reactions. Comments ranged from appreciation of the family’s supportive nature to playful critiques of Ronami’s views on other artists.
One user, @Kween_esther, noted, “She sounds like her mum even in mannerism 😍,” while another, @Ikukunkemakonam, emphasized the importance of family support, saying, “This is what we call moral support, which is one of the best support anyone can get.”
The insights from Ronami not only provided a deeper understanding of the Ogulu family’s dynamics but also highlighted the intricate creative process behind Burna Boy’s celebrated music.
