Controversial Nigerian singer Brymo has criticized Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning artist, as being unoriginal, cheap, and fake.
In an interview with TVC News, he made this claim and charged the so-called African Giant with stealing. Read more...
Every song that Burna Boy releases, in Brymo's opinion, is a sample of music by another artist, and the majority of his slogans are also stolen.
The 'Ara' singer made light of Burna Boy's self-styled status as the "Jesus of Afrobeat" and expressed his confusion over how the 'Last Last' hitmaker won a Grammy for his kind of music.
Additionally, he said that Afrobeat, as popularized by the late Fela Kuti, is a genre and not a music style.
Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido, according to Brymo, were thieves who changed the definition of Fela's music genre by adding the letter S to Afrobeat without comprehending how long and hard he worked to develop it.
The 37-year-old singer contends that contemporary performers harm genres by rebranding the works of earlier generations rather than maintaining continuity.
"I think Burna Boy is sleazy, he is cheap, he is a thief. Very unoriginal. Very fake...
Wizkid is the first this, Davido, Burna Boy... They all are thieves"
