Renowned singer, Olawale Oloforo, popularly known as Brymo, has come forward to explain and justify his controversial request for a sexual relationship with fellow musician Simisola Kosoko, professionally known as Simi.
In a recent interview with TVC, Brymo defended his actions, stating that it was simply an artistic pursuit. This comes after the singer shared an audio clip on his social media platform, revealing that he had refused to collaborate with Simi because she did not agree to engage in a sexual relationship with him.
Brymo’s comments sparked controversy and garnered a strong response from Simi’s husband, Adekunle Gold, who warned the singer to “stay away” from his wife and to “stop disrespecting” his family.
Despite the backlash, Brymo remains steadfast in his defense, maintaining that his advances towards Simi were driven by artistic motives.
He said, “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.”
