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.

@Credo_promotion:
"BURNA is still ODOGWU till tomorrow. I wonder which igbo you smoke "
@obiokeke_:
"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."
@dammydudu:
"Thief is a strong word. Your assertion could have been that, they are not original."
@iamdeeal:
"This guy don dey chase clout again."
@instaprohq:
"Brymo might be right in some aspects; for example, Burna Boy is fake and not original based on the fact that he samples songs from other artists. Yes, this may be true."
@UGOOTWEETS:
"I stand with Brymo besides the Davido & Wizkid slander. The other guy is very unoriginal & and thief. He’s not the Jesus of Afrobeats."
