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

Nigerian alternative music sensation Brymo has fired explosive shots at Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy, unleashing a series of controversial claims during a revealing sit-down with NotJustVerses. The conversation took a dramatic turn as Brymo addressed Burna Boy’s past lyrical jab and made stunning allegations about the legitimacy of Grammy Awards.

The tension stems from Burna Boy’s line “Hustle make you no fall off like Brymo” from one of his tracks—a reference that clearly didn’t sit well with the alternative artist. Brymo expressed genuine disbelief that an artist at Burna Boy’s level 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 the Grammy winner directly, making his stance crystal clear: “I told him your name no go ever appear for my song.” The message was unmistakable—Brymo considers himself above engaging in such lyrical exchanges.

But Brymo didn’t stop there. He took aim at the very foundation of Burna Boy’s international acclaim, questioning the authenticity of his Grammy win with a bombshell accusation: “You won a Grammy and so what? It was bought.” The singer went further, pulling back the curtain on what he claims are the murky practices within the awards circuit. “I’ve been told to pay $10k for a BET Awards before. I don’t care what fraternity you belong to,” he revealed, suggesting a system where recognition can be purchased rather than earned. These statements are bound to ignite fierce debate about transparency and integrity in international music awards, while adding another chapter to Nigerian music’s ongoing internal tensions.
