Renowned lyricist and singer, Olawale Oloforo, popularly known as Brymo, has described Grammy-award winning musician, Burna Boy as “cheap, unoriginal and fake”.
In a recent interview with TVC, Brymo simply explained that he believes Burna Boy didn’t deserve to win the Grammy for studio album, ‘Twice As Tall,’ stressing that with most of his songs being samples, he lacks originality.
He further outlined that Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy as “thieves” who are stealing from Fela’s music sacrifices.
“I saw a video where Burna Boy was saying that he was the Jesus of afrobeats. And he put Davido and Wizkid on some other mountains like that.
“I think Burna Boy is sleazy, he is cheap, he is a thief. Very unoriginal. Very fake. Every of his song is a sample or a stolen slogan. Who does that? And who awards you Grammy for that?
“Afrobeats is a music style. It’s not a genre.Fela’s afrobeat is a genre. And it’s disrespectful that a new generation of musicians came and just added ‘s’. And tried to create another sets of numbers ones: ‘Wizkid is the first. Davido Burna Boy…’ No, no, no. They all are thieves.”
