Nigerian singer Brymo sparked controversy when he openly criticized fellow artist Burna Boy, leveling allegations of being cheap, a thief, unoriginal, and fake against him.
This statement by Brymo emerged during an exclusive interview with a correspondent from TVC News, where he was asked about the supposed feud between Rema and Burna Boy.
In response, Brymo remarked, “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.”
He went further, stating, “I think he is sleazy, he is cheap, he is a thief, very unoriginal, and very fake.”
This statement swiftly ignited reactions from viewers who watched the video. Many took to the comment section of the post to share their thoughts on Brymo's comments.
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!”
The video clip of Brymo's statement, along with these reactions, has generated significant attention on social media.
