Nigerian singer Brymo has sparked controversy after publicly criticizing fellow artist Burna Boy, alleging that Burna Boy seeks attention from him. Brymo took to his Instastory to assert that Burna Boy should exit the "pop scene" because he is "almost ugly" and lacks singing ability comparable to Brymo's.
In a statement reminiscent of self-aggrandizement, Brymo questioned Burna Boy's motives, positioning himself as a deity. The remarks, since deleted, elicited mixed reactions, with some expressing concern over Brymo's mental well-being and others condemning his divisive comments.
Burna Boy's fans rushed to his defense, labeling Brymo as attention-seeking and irrelevant in the music industry. The incident reignited discussions about unity among Nigerian musicians and exposed ongoing rivalries within the industry.
Despite Brymo's attempt to undermine Burna Boy's reputation, many perceive his actions as a desperate bid for relevance amidst declining popularity.
