Singer Brymo, also known as Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, has addressed the recent controversy surrounding his revelation of requesting a sexual relationship from fellow singer Simi in exchange for a music collaboration. In an interview with TVC, Brymo defended his statement, terming it as an “artistic pursuit.”
Brymo explained that he initially declined a collaboration request from Adekunle Gold, Simi’s husband, citing that he was not open to collaborations at that time. Later, when Simi approached him for a collaboration, Brymo stated that he proposed the idea of an intense musical collaboration that involves a personal connection. He claimed that this approach was not unique to Simi, as he had made similar proposals to other female artists.
The singer emphasized that the intention behind his proposition was not to seek sexual favors for music collaborations but to create a deeper artistic connection. Brymo compared the situation to his successful collaborations with other women where such discussions were not part of the equation.
Despite the controversy and the strong response from Adekunle Gold, Brymo maintains that his actions were driven by an artistic pursuit, shedding light on the complexities of interactions within the music industry. The singer’s clarification provides his perspective on the matter, acknowledging that not every collaboration involves personal relationships and highlighting the importance of artistic integrity in the creative process.
