Brymo, a renowned Nigerian singer and songwriter, has shared personal and sensitive information about his family and how he was conceived.
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the
‘Theta’ crooner discussed the circumstances surrounding his birth and his mother’s experiences.
He revealed that his mother had a disturbing experience as a teenager and was seeking help at various spiritual centers without realizing she was pregnant.
Brymo stated that his mother’s strength and courage in speaking out about her traumatic experience is a big inspiration to him as he revealed that his birth story is a mysterious and difficult one.
In his words:
“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.”
