Brymo Slams Burna Boy, Davido, Others For Exploiting Upcoming Artistes

Nigerian Singer Brymo has called out Burna Boy, Davido, and other top artistes, asking them to stop remixing every trending hit from upcoming musicians.

In a post shared on his Instagram story, Brymo claimed that top stars often jump on hit songs from rising acts not to support them, but to feed off their success and maintain their own relevance.

He argued that this practice is usually disguised as “helping” younger artistes reach a wider audience, when in reality, it benefits the bigger names who know how to exploit the opportunity.

Brymo wrote, “Dear Nigerian mainstream ‘A-listers,’ Burna [Boy], Davido and Co, stop jumping on every hit song in a remix, especially releases by newer acts.

“Let other artistes find their own way. The pretending to be helping them reach higher is a ridiculous watch. Stop seeking relevance in the efforts of ones who know little about the business. It’s vile!”

KanyiDaily recalls that Brymo previously said he would rather go to hell than join the record label of Wizkid, Burna Boy or Davido.
