Controversial Nigerian singer and songwriter, Olawale Oloforo, known by his stage name, Brymo, has revealed that there are mysteries surrounding his birth.
The former Chocolate City artiste revealed in a candid chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo that his mother was r@ped as a teenager and her menstruation ceased after the incident.
Brymo narrated how his father and mother were moving from one spiritual house to the other seeking for a solution without knowing that she was already pregnant despite not experiencing menstruation for years.
He explained that he was already in his mother’s womb when people were giving her concoctions to drink in order to bear child, adding that they would have aborted him without realising. According to the ‘Ara’ crooner, his mother’s courage to report her abuser taught him courage.
He said: “The story surrounding my birth and the entire family is weird. There are always mysteries. There is a story of my mum, she had a traumatic experience, a sexual experience as a teenage girl.
It was a rape incident. And for some weird reasons, she didn’t see her period anymore afterwards. And that kept on like that for three years or so till she met my dad.
While they were taking her round herbalists and doctors, and pastors and imams, wherever they could go, so she could start bleeding, a woman needed to see her period before she could get pregnant, well, it happened that she was already pregnant, five months in and there was no blood.
So, that was strange right? I had to kick for her to know that a child was there. While everyone was giving her medicine to drink, they were trying to force an abortion without knowing [laughs].”
