Brymo reveals traumatic experience suffered by his mother
Renowned artist Brymo recently disclosed a harrowing incident involving his mother, shedding light on the mystery surrounding his birth.
The musician shared that his mother, then a teenager, experienced a traumatic rape event that led to the cessation of her menstruation.
In a candid discussion with Chude Jideonwo, Brymo recounted how his parents embarked on a quest across various spiritual institutions seeking a remedy, oblivious to the fact that his mother was already pregnant despite her prolonged absence of menstrual cycles.
He emphasized the profound impact of his mother’s bravery in confronting her abuser, which served as a lesson in courage for him.
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 reason, she didn’t see her period anymore afterward. And that kept on like that for three years or so till she met my dad.
“While they were taking her around 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].”
