In his most recent interview with NotJustOk originals, well-known artist Brymo criticized Burna Boy and his Grammy victory.
Nigerian singer Brymo has opened up about his reaction to Burna Boy's controversial lyric, "Hustle make you no fall off like Brymo," saying he was shocked that an artist of Burna Boy's stature chose to include the line in one of his songs.
Speaking in an interview with NotJustVerses, Brymo said he found
the lyric disappointing and described it as "mediocre."
"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
and made it clear 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 dismissed the significance of Burna Boy's Grammy Award,
making the controversial claim that the prestigious honour was
"bought."
"You won a Grammy and so what? It was bought. Who's your mate."
Continuing his criticism of the music award system, Brymo alleged
that he had previously been asked to pay $10,000 to secure a BET Award
nomination or recognition.
"I've been told to pay $10k for a BET Awards before. I don't care what fraternity you belong to."
His comments are likely to reignite discussions about Burna Boy's
lyric and could also spark fresh debate over transparency in international
music awards.
