‘My sexual advances towards Simi just artistic pursuit’ – Brymo
Maverick singer, Ọlawale Ọlá»fá»rá», aka Brymo, has defended his sex-for-music request from female colleague, Simisola Kosoko, simply known as Simi.
FLYING EZE recalls that Brymo sparked controversy after he shared an audio clip on his X handle, revealing that he had declined to collaborate with Simi because she refused to engage in a sexual relationship with him.
His revelation didn’t sit well with Simi’s husband, singer Adekunle Gold, who warned him to “stay away”; from his wife and “stop disrespecting”; his family.
However, in a recent interview with TVC, Brymo defended his sexual advances towards Simi, 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.”;
