Nigerian singer Brymo has refuted claims that he asked Simi for sex in exchange for a musical collaboration.
Speaking with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo, on the latest episode of the With Chude show, the singer was asked about the controversy surrounding the reports.
Chude asked, “You came out on Twitter and on TV to say that you wanted to create art with Simi and you asked to sleep with her first…”
“…I didn’t want to create art with her” Brymo interjected.
The Ara singer stated that, unlike the reports, Adekunle was the one who came to him for a collaboration first before Simi. He added that it was after he turned down her request that she made the collaborative album with rapper Falz.
“Adekunle Gold came to me. Those two wanted to get married and then they took a break to hustle separately and then Adekunle Gold came to me and said that we should create an album together and I said no. Simi also came to me and I said no, then suddenly she did an album with Falz,” he said.
Brymo stated that he was accused of requesting for sexual intimacy, calling Nigerians “sick people.”
He said, “The reports then came in that Simi and Falz were dating. Simi and Falz? Nobody even knew that Simi and Adekunle Gold had stuff going on during that period. So I came back to gist everyone about what happened then and then they started accusing me of asking Simi for sex in exchange for a collab. Nigerians are sick people! That’s dark.”
“They came to me first of all, it didn’t happen second of all, then I came tell everyone what happened later. That’s it,” Brymo emphasised.
Brymo’s recollection of event is contradictory to his confession last year that he used to offer intimacy to female musicians he collaborated with, Simi included.
His tweet read “Though AG reached out later, I like to think that he didn’t check in again, by will or fate, because I turned down the same request many years before. I also did the same with Simi, saying I wanted to get intimate to create intensity. I didn’t know they were together, of course.”
After backlash from the public, Adekunle Gold also warned him to steer clear of his wife.
Nollywood actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has debunked claims that she and actor Odunlade Adekola were romantically involved.
In a recent interview with Tribune Newspaper, the thespian was asked about her views regarding the speculations about her and her colleague. She clarified that Odunlade is like family to her and that it had always been that way before she attained stardom.
“Wherever you are, always make your impact known. Show people that you are there to support. I have always made myself available for Odunlade Adekola Films production even before I became who I am. I have been in the industry since 2003 and I didn’t blow till 2010/2011 when God used this man to push me out there. So whenever he has something to do, I just pick up my bag and I go. I don’t care what anybody wants to say.”
She also said that her support for him stems from the support he has shown her.
“He has always been in support of my career and I have always been in support of whatever he is doing, even with his family, I will be there. Those things are not online, and the fact that they don’t come on social media doesn’t mean they are not happening. People will always speculate but it doesn’t mean it is true,” she said.
“I am not the only one under Odunlade Adekola, but I am a family person. If you give me one naira, I will make sure I repay you with ten naira. That is my spirit. So when Odunlade is doing stuff, I am always there. So, to people, it looks like these people are dating…There was never a time he asked me out,” she concluded.
Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simisola Kosoko, simply known as Simi, has responded to the recent jibes of Samuel Oguachuba, identified as Samklef, and Maverick singer Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, aka Brymo.
Simi spoke in an interview with media personnel, Angela Yee on her programme titled, ‘Way Up’ on Tuesday.
The wife of singer Adekunle Gold said she could not imagine the reasons behind Samklef and Brymo’s talks about nurturing feelings for her but claimed to be happy that her husband was always in her defence.
She described their actions as more comedy than anything else anyone could think.
When asked how she managed the jibes, Simi stated, “I don’t expect to be asked this. The thing is, I don’t even know what most of these people are like. I don’t know why they keep talking about me, but when you really look at what they are saying, you can’t even pick out anything. I am confused and feel like it doesn’t matter to me.
“My husband (Adekunle Gold) is speaking out for me as he would. I even told my friend that I didn’t feel anything about it because it didn’t impact me, and I didn’t have anything to hide.
“Like if you are going to post that you asked me out. So? And? Okay. And why? To me, the whole thing is more comedy than anything else.
“The only thing I will say though is that I saw a lot of people coming to my defence that why would he be talking to me like that. So, I’m just like, you don’t respect me because I’m married, but respect me because I deserve to be. Don’t do that to me,” she added.
Recently, a social media storm erupted when Samklef expressed his sentiments about singer Simi, sparking a heated exchange between him and Adekunle Gold.
In a series of now-deleted posts on Sunday, Samklef revealed that he harboured feelings for Simi in the past but chose not to pursue them to maintain a professional relationship. He then labelled Simi and fellow artist Ric Hassani as “the two most ungrateful artistes” he has ever worked with.
But Simi’s husband, Adekunle Gold, swiftly responded, defending his wife and urging Samklef to stop disrespecting her.
Adekunle Gold’s response escalated the confrontation as he admonished Samklef, stating, “Simi does not owe you shit, and it is about time you stopped calling her name every 3 market days. If anything, you owe me! Stop fooling around and act your age!”
Samklef retaliated with a comment suggesting his influence on Simi’s career, stating, “Dear Adekunle, I made your wife Simi cry.”
Also, not too long ago, Brymo also had his fair share of Adekunle’s outburst after he shared an audio clip in which he requested sex for a music collaboration from Simi, which she vehemently disapproved of.
Defending the audio, Brymo said his sexual advances towards Simi, describing it as “an artistic pursuit.”
His revelation, however, didn’t sit well with Adekunle Gold, who warned him to “stay away” from his wife and “stop disrespecting” his family.
