Controversy Erupts As Brymo Urges Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido To Exit Music Scene

Nigerian singer Brymo has called on some of the country’s leading music stars to step back from the spotlight and create room for younger artistes to thrive in the industry.

He made the comment during a recent interview on TVC, where he discussed the current direction of Nigerian music and the continued dominance of a few established names.

According to him, discussions about the industry are still heavily centered on top acts such as Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy, while emerging artistes who should be at the forefront of the pop scene are not getting adequate recognition.

Brymo argued that the ongoing “Big 3” narrative has contributed to concentrating attention on a small group of artistes, limiting opportunities for newer talents to gain wider visibility.

He added that focus should shift away from criticisms of the lyrical quality of younger musicians and instead address the dominance of long-established stars in mainstream conversations.

He said, “We need to stop talking about how the new artists don’t have lyrical substance and focus on how some artists want to lock down the industry for themselves with the ‘Big 3’ narrative and continue reigning forever.

“They should shift aside. Right now, Rema should be the biggest pop star in the country without any doubt. All this talk about Wizkid, 2Face, Olamide, Burna Boy. Why? In the Pop scene?? What are they singing? You can plug the radio but nobody likes your stuff anymore. Move aside, evolve.”
