Bose Ogulu, the mother and manager of Grammy-winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy, has been nominated for the prestigious Best Manager of the Year award at the 2025 MusicWeek Awards. The announcement was made in a social media post, sparking excitement among fans and industry insiders.
The MusicWeek Awards, a highly respected event in the global music industry, will take place at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London on May 8. The ceremony celebrates excellence in various categories, including management, production, and music business leadership.
This is not the first time Bose Ogulu has received international recognition for her managerial expertise. In 2022, she won the *Manager of the Year* award at the Artist & Manager Awards in London, solidifying her reputation as one of the top figures in the industry.
A standout moment from the 2022 event was when Burna Boy himself presented the award to his mother, highlighting the strong professional and personal bond they share. Sheniece Charway, the artist relations manager at YouTube Music, was also present during the celebration.
Ogulu’s nomination for the 2025 MusicWeek Awards places her among other distinguished names in the music management sector. The full list of nominees includes notable figures such as Alistair Goldsmith, Prof. Jonathan Shalit OBE, and Tony Beard, all of whom have played instrumental roles in shaping the careers of prominent artists.
Under Ogulu’s management, Burna Boy has achieved unprecedented global success, including multiple Grammy nominations, sold-out world tours, and chart-topping albums. Her influence extends beyond her son’s career, as she has played a key role in promoting African music on the global stage.
