Brymo slams Burna Boy, makes shocking allegations about his Grammy win

Brymo Fires Back at Burna Boy, Questions Grammy Win Legitimacy

Nigerian alternative music veteran Brymo has unleashed a scathing response to Burna Boy’s controversial name-drop in his music, going as far as questioning the authenticity of the Afrobeats superstar’s Grammy Award. In a candid interview with NotJustVerses, Brymo didn’t hold back, calling out what he perceives as disrespect while making explosive allegations about the music industry’s award systems.

The tension stems from Burna Boy’s lyric, “Hustle make you no fall off like Brymo,” which referenced the singer in what many interpreted as a dig. Brymo expressed shock that an artist of Burna Boy’s caliber would resort to such tactics. “I was surprised that he is flying so high and he did not realize how mediocre how that was. I should be that important,” Brymo stated. He revealed that he confronted Burna Boy directly about the line and made his position crystal clear: “I told him your name no go ever appear for my song.”

But Brymo didn’t stop there. He escalated the discourse by dismissing Burna Boy’s historic Grammy win, alleging it was purchased rather than earned. “You won a Grammy and so what? It was bought,” Brymo claimed during the interview. He further alleged systemic corruption in music awards, revealing that he had once been asked to pay $10,000 for BET Award consideration. “I’ve been told to pay $10k for a BET Awards before. I don’t care what fraternity you belong to,” he declared, painting a picture of an industry where recognition comes with a price tag.

These bold statements are bound to spark heated debate within the Afrobeats community about both the Brymo-Burna Boy beef and the integrity of international music awards. Whether these allegations hold water remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: Brymo isn’t backing down from his stance.
