It is common knowledge that Brymo takes a strict stance as regards music collaborations, but the singer revealed to BBC Yoruba that he would make an exception for Asa. He said that he would like to work with the revered female singer.
βI have spoken to Asa`s handlers. What remains is to set it up.
βShe is the one person who I can collaborate with. What she talks about ββ love, social issues, everyday issues ββ are things that matter to me.
βI had important things to talk about. It is hard to bring someone who doesn`t know my thought process to collaborate on such a song.
βMany of my colleagues collaborate because of positioning. There is so much politics involved in collaboration so I chose to sing alone.
I have collaborated in the past but I was not satisfied with the outcome,Β he said.
The singer who is currently promoting his 6th sixth album titled ‘Oso’, said that music collaboration in Nigeria is more of politics and traction rush, than it is about music.
βIf you look at it well, many people like KSA, KWAM 1, Ayinde Barrister and other indigenous musicians hardly collaborateβ.
βAbroad too, people like Adele, Coldplay and Bruno Mars record albumsΒ alone,β he said.
Still on the BBC Yoruba interview, Brymo responded to critics on why he choose to appear nude in hisΒ βΛHeya` music video. He said;
βThe video is for people to see that we`re backward and need to change.
βI was not happy that people said I did something wrong. It means people have forgotten where we came from.β
βI am a bushman, still living in a world made possible by the West. I, like other Africans, are just existing and not responsible for technological advancements and innovations.
βWe have not contributed to the world. We don`t solve problems or create solutions.β
