Nigerian musician, Olawale Brymo has accused his colleague, Burna Boy of song theft and orchestrating an attack on him.
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.
He wrote, “E be like say you no know your job, and you go learn to never steal from me again.. and I don’t care how you got the ‘city boy’, and “I told you” titles .. you don fuck up.. and I no go forgive you, you must forgive yourself.. and I doubt you go fit!!. Oláwálé (Ashimi) Qlófoọrỳ”
“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 !!.”
Brymo added, “By end of this year y’all will recollect that ‘Macabre’ wasn’t released when in the public, and as privately as it gets .: ‘city boy’.. and ‘I Told You’ were fed to Burna Boy..
“Former of the track titles I mentioned above is there to point me to the fact that the latter, and his album title is the hook I sing on my album title track ‘Macabre’.. burna na really boy.. and that’s a crime.!! An actual crime…To do time for… and if una like make una resurrect legends to come complain about stolen songs… una go regret this shit to numerous degrees… shey una no dey hear word !!.”
