In a post shared on his Twitter page, Brymo claimed that Burna Boy stole his unreleased song, “Macabre,” for his latest tracks, “City Boy” and “I Told You.”
The musician detailed an ambush by a group of seven individuals, a claim he said was corroborated by legendary singer, 2face Idibia.
He also drew connections between Burna Boy’s “Big 7” track and a video in which singer Davido showcased people wearing the number seven, insinuating that these were related to the attack.
Brymo emphasized the seriousness of the alleged song theft and warned that it could lead Burna Boy into legal trouble.

“2face tell me say the boys wey attack me na 7 boys.. Burna get 7 for track title .. And I don see Davido video with everybody wearing 7 in it … they are together .. and they have crossed me, and will forever regret it !!.”
