'Preventing him from winning the All Africa Music Award would send a strong message to him, and people like him, that he can't get away with such blatant ethnic bigotry.'
Now, a petition which began six days ago seeking to stop his nomination for the 2022 All Africa Music Award has garnered 28,000 signatures.The petition started by one Charles Ogundele accused the singer of putting up a series of hateful messages on Twitter toward the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, going as far as retweeting a tweet which said that all Igbos are senseless.
Although the petition was started by Mr Ogundele, who does not seem to have any digital footprint, the first time it was shared on social media was by a Twitter user who goes by the name Uche with the handle @I_amSteady.The singer was nominated in the 8th AFRIMA, which kicks off on Thursday in the Songwriter of the Year Category.He will be going up against Bridget Blue and JibrilBlessing, Daniel Baron , Iba One , Lloyiso Mandlovandile Gigana and Luke Goliath .
Entertainers who have reacted to Brymo’s tweets include Peter ‘Psquare’ Okoye, Kelly Handsome, Dremo and others.
