Brymo Slams Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido for Claiming Kings of Afrobeats: “He Is Cheap and Fake”

  • Controversial Nigerian singer Brymo has stirred reactions on social media with his opinions about Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy
  • According to him, the trio who are the faces of Afrobeats in Nigeria have no idea what it took the late singer Fela to create the genre
  • Brymo mainly went for Burna Boy and his Grammy award, calling him an unoriginal and sleazy man

Brymo is not pleased that Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido are enjoying the exposure and title of pioneers of Afrobeats.

He said Afrobeats is not a genre, but Afrobeat and Fela struggled to bring it to life.

Brymo knocked Burna Boy for claiming Jesus of Afrobeats when, in fact, he is a sleazy, cheap and unoriginal creative.

He argued that most of the self-acclaimed African Giant's songs are either samples of other people's songs or a stolen slogan and wondered how he got a Grammy.

"From the guy whose first hit came from a popular clap and bell song."

@DJDaley:

"What’s happening with Afrobeats right now is called “Evolution” the genre is evolving thus artists are also evolving with it. You can’t really expect artists to be stagnant with their creative abilities. There’s no need calling someone a thief for sampling songs."
