Uju Stella, a relatively unknown figure, has emerged with claims of a three-year romantic relationship with Nigerian superstar Burna Boy. She alleges that the relationship not only resulted in a pregnancy but also ended in a bitter dispute over the recognition of their child.
In a recent interview, Stella, who has maintained her privacy so far, detailed her account, asserting that she was in a committed relationship with Burna Boy during her time she was pregnant. Initially, she claimed that Burna Boy had accepted the pregnancy, but things changed when she sought support from his mother, hoping to be accepted by the family.
“It’s heartbreaking”, Stella recounted. “His mother, Bose Ogulu, bluntly fired me, even after knowing I was carrying her grandchild. After that, Burna Boy’s attitude towards me and the pregnancy changed completely. He began to deny his responsibility for the child, which he had previously admitted..”
“Burna and I have been in love for 3 years, I got pregnant for him and his mother chased me away even though she knew I was carrying her grandchild, then Burna got angry and started telling me that he has no responsibility for the child even though he accepted it before” – Stella 🙆🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/7v6Vdztqjm

The situation sparked widespread debate on social media, with fans and critics weighing in on the credibility of Stella’s claims. Burna Boy, known for his influential role in the Afrobeat genre, is yet to respond to these allegations. His representative remained silent, neither confirming nor denying the relationship or subsequent statements.
Legal experts have noted that such disputes, especially involving high-status individuals, often lead to protracted arguments over paternity and child support. If Stella chooses to sue, this private matter could be made official and subject to more scrutiny.
