Nigerian singer Olawale Oloforo, popularly known as ‘Brymo’, has urged established Afrobeats stars to create space for emerging talents, arguing that the continued dominance of a few top acts is limiting opportunities for the next generation.
Speaking during an interview on TVC, the outspoken artiste criticised the industry’s widely used “Big 3” narrative, which refers to Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy, accusing them of overstaying their influence in the pop music space.
Brymo specifically mentioned Rema as one of the younger acts he believes should be at the forefront of global pop conversations.
“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.
The singer also dismissed the idea that radio dominance alone reflects relevance, insisting that the industry must evolve to reflect current global trends and allow younger voices more visibility.
