Grammy-winning musician Burna Boy has been called “sleazy, cheap, very unoriginal, and very fake” by Nigerian singer Lawale Lfr, better known by his stage name Brymo.
The “Ara” singer recently told TVC that Burna Boy didn’t deserve the Grammy for his fifth studio album, “Twice As Tall,” citing the fact that majority of his songs are samples and that he lacks creativity.
Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy were singled out by him as “thieves” who were taking advantage of Fela’s Afrobeat sacrifices. He also called out Wizkid and Davido.

Brymo said, “I saw a video where he [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 he [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.
“Do you know how much struggles Baba [Fela] went through to create afrobeat? Anyways, I think it’s a whole big problem that we have.”
