Brymo urges Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido to step aside for younger artists

‘Leave pop scene for younger artistes’ — Brymo hits Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid

Brymo has called on his colleagues to make way for the next generation, arguing that the current dominance of a few big names is stifling emerging talent.   Speaking on TVC, the outspoken artiste took aim at the “Big 3” narrative in Afrobeats, accusing Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy of clinging to influence and blocking opportunities for rising stars.   He insisted that younger acts like Rema should be leading pop conversations instead of veterans who, in his view, have stopped evolving.   “We need to stop talking about how new artists don’t have substance,” Brymo said. “The industry needs to focus on the barbaric behaviour in the background—some artists trying to lock down the industry for themselves, calling themselves ‘Big 3,’ ‘Big 4,’ wanting to be forever. They have four or five children at home, and they want to sing about ‘shake body.’     “What happens to the 22-year-old artist who has recorded hits but has no opportunity to do more because the space is crowded with old guys who aren’t evolving?”   Brymo urged his peers to step aside and reinvent themselves. He also dismissed radio dominance as meaningless without genuine relevance.   “They should shift aside. It is a pop scene, they should evolve into something else. Right now, Rema should be like the biggest pop star in the country without any doubt,” he said.     “All this talk about Wizkid, 2Face, Olamide, Burna Boy. Why? In the Pop scene? Wetin dem dey sing? Are you listening to them? You can have connections and you people plug yourself on the radio it does not mean anything. Nobody likes likes your stuff anymore. Move aside, evolve. Become something better. I don’t get played on radio that much, I still make a living off the music.”
