#Headies2018: I created the Alternative genre - Brymo says in what looks like a shade at Simi || #12thHeadies

Simi was one of the biggest winners from last night's Headies Awards with 3 awards to her name. The 'Joromi' crooner won the awards for Recording Of the Year (Joromi), Best R&B Single (Smile For Me) and Album Of the Year (Simisola).

While we think Simi has done well for herself and her colleagues in the Alternative music industry, fellow singer Brymo seems not to be happy. Brymo made tweets saying he created the Alternative music genre and that the genre should not be rated with other genres. He also accused his colleagues in the Alternative music industry of being impatient with their music and wanting 'to be part of the mediocrity the music industry has been known to dedicate itself to'. See his tweets below:

In the Nigerian music scene, the ‘alternative’ was invented by me in 2013 as a cure to the ills of the mainstream, not to be a part of it.. to be ‘alternative’ means that the process of recording, performing, distributing and rating your work is different from the mainstream..

‘Alternative’ is more than a genre here, it is a collective of Maverick artistes who have consistently refused to be part of the mediocrity the music industry has been known to dedicate itself to..

The ‘alternative’ scene has not yet evolved its own rating system, and musicians in that corner must learn patience, and yet must continue to blaze the trail. The mainstream learns the ethics of the business from us, we must keep the arrangement that way...

At 1pm, for thirty minutes, I’ll be answering professional questions from artistes and music industry professionals... ask me about songwriting, vocals, production, promotion, stage performance, and even distribution...

Do you think he is directing these statements at Simi?
