See Why Brymo Performed Semi-Naked In London

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Olawale Ashimi better known as Brymo has come out to explain the reasons for his now viral unclad performance in the UK last week.

Recall that Brymo recently performed at an event in London rocking nothing but a piece of clothe wrapped around his loins while his buttocks was left bare for his audience to fix their gazes on. Click here to see the video.

The Ara crooner has now explained the reason for such performance in a recent chat with a media outlet. He said:

“…that was the way our forefathers used to dress before the arrival of the West. As a matter of fact, some months ago, a picture circulated on the Internet of a wealthy Igbo farmer who dressed that way in 1930. I just wanted to remind people of our past. It surprises me that people are shocked whenever I dress that way. That was the same way I dressed in the video for my song.”

He further added that:

“In this part of the world, we are mostly consumers; not creators. If the advanced world should come here and take all of their technologies, we would be left naked. However, I appreciate the people who follow my music and see it as a form of artistic expression. Those are the people I do this for. For those who don’t like it; sorry, I don’t know what to do about that.”
