Brymo Shocks Nigerians with His Response to Simi’s Request For a Collaboration
Controversial remarks made by Nigerian singer Brymo in response to a collaboration request from fellow musician Simi have sparked an online debate, leaving social media in a frenzy.
The former Chocolate City artist, known for his outspoken nature, revealed the shocking details of his interaction with Simi in a post shared on his social media platform on Friday, July 21, 2023. According to Brymo, Simi had approached him for a collaboration before she got married to fellow singer Adekunle Gold. In an unexpected twist, Brymo disclosed that he had made an unconventional request in response to her collaboration proposal.
In his post, Brymo stated that he had asked Simi for an intimate encounter as a condition for the collaboration, explaining that he believed it would create a heightened level of intensity in their creative work together. However, the singer admitted that he was unaware of Simi’s relationship with Adekunle Gold at the time he made this request.
The revelation came to light after a social media user asked Adekunle Gold if Brymo would be featured on his upcoming project. Brymo himself responded to the inquiry, recounting his past interactions with both Simi and Adekunle Gold. He suggested that Adekunle Gold may not have followed up on the collaboration request due to his previous rejection of a similar proposal from Brymo many years ago.
Brymo’s candid and bold statement has divided opinions on social media, with many expressing shock and disapproval at his unorthodox approach to collaboration requests. Some users criticized his actions as inappropriate and disrespectful, while others defended his right to express himself freely.
Simi, Adekunle Gold, and their representatives have not yet responded to Brymo’s remarks publicly, leaving fans and followers eagerly awaiting their reaction to the controversial revelation. The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media platforms, with fans and music enthusiasts sharing their varied opinions on the matter.
Meanwhile, his reply has sparked an online debate on some of the things that female artists are being forced to endure to get collaborations, endorsements and many more in the music industry.

..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..

If Simi were to be a man, would you still want to get intimate to create intensity?
