Brymo is once again making headlines after criticizing Burna Boy's Grammy win and revisiting the controversial lyric directed at him. The latest remarks come less than a year after the singer called out Burna Boy, Davido, and other Nigerian music stars over their frequent participation in remixes, reinforcing his reputation as one of Afrobeats' most outspoken voices.
Over the years, Brymo has never hesitated to share his views on the Nigerian music industry, regardless of whose opinions they challenge. Whether discussing collaborations, award systems, or fellow artists, his comments have consistently sparked debate among fans and industry stakeholders
Brymo Reacts to Burna Boy's Lyric and Grammy Win
Speaking during an interview with NotJustVerses, Brymo addressed Burna Boy's lyric, "Hustle make you no fall off like Brymo," saying he was surprised an artist of Burna Boy's stature chose to include the line in one of his songs.
"I was surprised that he is flying so high and he did not realize how mediocre that was. I should be that important," Brymo said.
The singer revealed that he confronted Burna Boy over the lyric, adding that he would never respond by mentioning Burna Boy in his own music.
"I told him your name no go ever appear for my song."
Brymo also questioned the significance of Burna Boy's Grammy Award, controversially claiming the prestigious honour was "bought." He further alleged that he had previously been asked to pay $10,000 in connection with the BET Awards, a claim that has not been independently verified.
His comments quickly generated reactions online, with fans divided over both his criticism of Burna Boy and his allegations about international music awards.
Brymo Previously Criticized Burna Boy and Davido Over Remixes
Brymo's latest remarks are not the first time he has publicly challenged Nigeria's biggest music stars.
In August 2025, the singer criticized Burna Boy, Davido, and other mainstream artists over their frequent appearances on remixes of songs by emerging acts.
Sharing his opinion on social media, Brymo argued that established artists should allow younger musicians to build their careers independently rather than jumping on every successful record.
He also questioned the idea that such collaborations were purely meant to help rising artists, suggesting they could also serve as a way for already successful musicians to maintain relevance.
The comments sparked widespread debate across the music industry. While some fans agreed that new artists deserved more room to grow on their own, others argued that collaborations with established stars often provide valuable exposure and commercial success.
Why Brymo's Comments Keep Making Headlines
Brymo has built a reputation for speaking candidly about issues affecting the Nigerian music industry. Throughout his career, he has consistently advocated for artistic independence and challenged practices he believes deserve scrutiny.
His willingness to publicly criticize some of Afrobeats' biggest names has made him one of the industry's most polarizing voices. While many disagree with his opinions, others see his comments as an invitation to discuss larger questions about collaborations, recognition, and success in Nigerian music.
Whether fans agree with him or not, Brymo's latest comments show a consistent pattern. From criticizing remix culture in 2025 to questioning Burna Boy's lyric and Grammy win in 2026, he has remained unafraid to challenge conversations involving some of the biggest names in Afrobeats.
