Brymo, a well-known artist, defends making sexual attempts on Simi, a female coworker, in exchange for a music collaboration.
This controversy started when Brymo said in an audio tape that he had turned down the opportunity to work with Simi because she had declined to have a sexual connection with him on social media.
Adekunle Gold, the singer who is married to Simi, was among many who reacted angrily to Brymo’s admission, telling him to “stay away” from his wife and to stop “disrespecting” his family.
However, Brymo defended his sexual offer to Simi in a recent TVC interview by referring to it as a “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.”
