Brymo Reveals Mysteries Surrounding His Birth: Mother’s Courage and Family Struggles

Brymo, the controversial singer whose real name is Olawale Oloforo, opened up about the mysteries surrounding his birth.

He shared that his mother was raped as a teenager, and as a result, her menstruation stopped.

Speaking candidly with Chude Jideonwo, Brymo revealed that despite his mother’s lack of menstruation, she became pregnant without realizing it while she and his father sought spiritual solutions.

Brymo credited his mother’s bravery in reporting her abuser as a source of inspiration for his own courage.

“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].”
