Nigerian Singer and songwriter, Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, widely known as Brymo, has revealed how he reached the top of his career despite being a product of rape.
The top musician made the revelation in an interview he granted Chude Jideonwo, host of the viral show: #WithChude.
Brymo said: “The entire story surrounding my birth and the entire family is always weird.
“My mum had a traumatic experience as a teenage girl, it was in a rape incident.
“And for some weird reason, she didn’t see her period anymore afterwards.
“And that kept on like that… till she met my dad.
“They were taking her around without knowing that she was already pregnant.

“Five months in and there was no blood, nothing.
“I had to kick for her to know that a child was there”
Speaking on how his mum, a survivor of a tragic experience, and how her life influenced him, Brymo shared, “Most people wonder how I handle matters when I go public.
“It must have been from my mum.
“I remember she said she was raped by a guy that used to send kids errands.
“When he was done, she got up immediately, went straight home, and just said: “This person just raped me.”
She said it immediately so everybody could see it.
“It became big and problematic.
“The next day, he had to come with his parents, begging and then he pretended that she was a virgin and that he wanted to marry her.
“She screamed hell at him.
“My mother was especially loved by her father.
“And so, if you’re wondering how a girl could be so outspoken, yes, that’s how she got it.
“So, the man was just doting over his daughter, so he let her say whatever she wanted to say and let her express herself.
“So, my mum extended that to me,\.”
