Spaceship Entertainment

Spaceship Entertainment (legal name Spaceship Incorporated Limited, also trading as Spaceship Records and Spaceship Collective) is an independent record label founded by Burna Boy (Damini Ogulu) on 18 February 2015, after his prior deal with Aristokrat Records ended in mid-2014.

The label holds the copyright in Burna Boy’s master recordings. Since August 2023, the phonogram credit on his catalogue reads “Spaceship under exclusive license to Atlantic Recording Corporation for the world excluding Africa,” placing ownership with Spaceship and licensed exploitation with Atlantic outside the African continent.

Spaceship Incorporated Limited is a British company, number 10985501, incorporated 28 September 2017. Its sole person with significant control is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, holding 75 per cent or more of the shares and voting rights and the right to appoint or remove directors; Bose Ogulu, his mother and manager, has served as the company’s second director since incorporation. No major label, distributor or outside investor holds any equity, voting or board interest in it. A related company, Spaceship Publishing Limited, is jointly controlled by Damini and Bose Ogulu. “Spaceship Collective,” the umbrella name used in trade coverage, is not itself a UK-registered company.

Beyond its role as Burna Boy’s rights-holding vehicle, trade profiles describe Spaceship as a wider artist collective.
