Brymo’s Demand For Intimacy With Simi Sparks Controversy
Brymo
Nigerian singer Brymo has revealed that he turned down a feature request from Simi because she refused to sleep with him.
Brymo made the revelation in a reply to a fan who suggested that he should be featured on Adekunle Gold’s upcoming album, “Tequila Ever After.” Brymo said that he had previously turned down features from both Adekunle Gold and Simi, and that he had declined to work with Simi specifically because she refused to “get intimate” with him.
“I also did same with Simi, said I wanted to get intimate to create intensity,” Brymo wrote. “I didn’t know they were together, of course.”
Brymo’s comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some people have expressed shock and disappointment, calling him out for sexual harassment and highlighting how men in the entertainment industry are fond of demanding sexual favors from women.
..though AG reached out later, I like to think that he didn’t check in again, by will or fate because I turned down same request many years before…I also did same with Simi… said I wanted to get intimate to create intensity..
I didn’t know they were together of course https://t.co/HtchX0pnK6

There’s a part of me that wants to feel remorse for my requirement for a collaboration with the talented Simi.. yet I am reminded that I was indeed, and honestly seeking to experience the outcome of making music with a female act I was bedding.. I proposed same to Efya too then.. pic.twitter.com/olcQekK2Sc
