My mum was r@ped as a teenager – Brymo
Olawale Oloforo, popularly known as Brymo, said there are mysteries surrounding his birth.
The singer revealed that his mother was raped as a teenager and her menstruation ceased after the incident.
In a candid chat with Chude Jideonwo, Brymo disclosed that 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 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].”
