Nigerian singer Brymo made a controversial statement during an interview in which he criticized fellow singer Burna Boy, calling him cheap, a thief, unoriginal, and fake.
In response to a question about the alleged tussle between Rema and Burna Boy, Brymo said, “I saw a video where he said he was the ‘Jesus’ (inaudible statement) and he put Davido and Wizkid on some other mountain like that.”
“I think he is sleazy, he is cheap, he is a thief, very unoriginal, and very fake.”
Brymo’s statement has sparked reactions from many individuals who watched the video, with some expressing their opinions in the comment section of the post.
See some reactions below:
@IbrazcalypseNow: “The only reason I stopped listening to this dude is the things he says. Stopped trying too hard for attention, gba fun oga ee. He’s the fake one.”
@MikeBlaise8: “His music is no longer saving him, now he has turned to Daniel rags Ahbi regha just to stay relevant.”
@King_MayorBlack: “This guy has started moving mad small small. Make them sha dey pay attention to am.”
@EvanzzSzn: “Now everybody will come for him cuz he mentioned everybody Fave, but imagined if it was just only a name he mentioned, some fanbases will say he’s saying the truth.”
@JerrycharlesC: “Sometimes I miss this guys songs, but everytime I have the urge to listen, I remember he said ‘all the Igbos are fools’.”
@Abbye_edi__: “This Renown Tribalist hating on Burna Boy, how can an Artist talk down on sampling, knowing it’s a work of Art and Creativity. Global Artists like Kanye, Riri, Bey, Drake have all sample multiple songs in their career. Brymo would forever remain a local Western singer that he is.”
@NaijaMoonX: “I support him for this. If Taylor Swift is doing Country, Rock and Alternative. Not trying to rename these genres despite their differences and popularity. What’s the prob with Blacks. There’s Afro hip hop wait till someone said he’s doing Afro trap. Just crazy!”
