It was an artistic pursuit – Brymo speaks on sexual advances towards Simi for a collaboration

Singer, Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, popularly known as Brymo, has justified his request for a sexual relationship in exchange for collaboration with his female colleague, Simisola Kosoko, commonly referred to as Simi.

Recalling the incident, Brymo had sparked controversy by sharing an audio clip on his social media, where he mentioned he declined to collaborate with Simi due to her refusal to engage in a sexual relationship with him.

This revelation didn’t sit well with Simi’s husband, singer Adekunle Gold, who issued a warning for Brymo to “stay away” from his wife and cease “disrespecting” his family.

In a recent interview with TVC, Brymo defended his proposition, describing it as an “artistic pursuit.”

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.”
