B-U Entertainment proudly presents B-U
In 2002, if you were to tell B-Nard and Ursela that they would become the anointedhusband and wife Christian rap team the Jesus has made them today; they wouldhave probably laughed at you and said “yeah right”. But when Jesus has a planfor you, it will happen. They met in a studio in 2002 to only later to be unitedin marriage in 2005. During this time they were pursuing their own careers inmusic; Ursela as the hip-hop artist “FIN” and B-Nard as the r & b soloist“RBP”. They teamed up to become thesecular hip-hop team “FIN & RBP”. But being active members in their churchand hearing the Word of God reformed them to make a change in their individuallives altogether. B-Nard re-dedicated his life and Ursela dedicated her life toJesus. During this time Jesus spoke to B-Nard and told him to stop secularmusic and minister musically in gospel. With that being said they teamed up as theChristian rap group B-U.
B-U meaning is “Being-Used by Jesus Christ”.
