Notable singer Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, widely known as Brymo, defends his sexual advances towards his female colleague, Simi in exchange for a music colaboration.
This controversy arose when Brymo posted an audio clip on his social media platform, disclosing that he had declined to collaborate with Simi because she had refused to engage in a sexual relationship with him.
His revelation triggered a backlash, particularly from Simi’s husband, the singer Adekunle Gold, who issued a stern warning for Brymo to “stay away” from his wife and to cease “disrespecting” his family.
However, in a recent interview with TVC, Brymo defended his sexual proposition to Simi, characterizing it as an “artistic pursuit.”
In his words;
“One day I was somewhere and I met Adekunle Gold, I was just like, ‘Oh! Gold.’ The first time I was ever meeting him. And he requested a collaboration… When he came to me, I just said flatly, ‘Oga, I’m not doing any collaboration right now.’
“Two weeks after, Simi came. I didn’t know they [Simi and Adekunle Gold were together]. I’m sure you all know about Falz. He took the fall that I was supposed to take. I was the target… But I’m a smart guy.
“When I saw her [Simi], I said no features except I am laying with the woman I am working with so it can really be intense. Did she not sleep with Adekunle Gold? Is that not why the music is extra good? But she said no, and I was like okay, bye-bye and then she left.
“She wasn’t the only one I proposed it to. But guess what? I’ve made music with seven women. I didn’t sleep with anyone of them.
“After that incident, I’ve recorded songs with four women. We didn’t even have that [sexual] conversation at all. We just made music. So, it wasn’t about me asking for sex for collaboration. No, no, it wasn’t about that. For me, it was an artistic pursuit.”
