Nigerian musician Olawale Ashimi, popularly known by his stage name Brymo, has stirred debate on social media following remarks about apologies in relationships that many have labeled misogynistic.
The Ara crooner stated that men should not apologize to women when the woman is at fault. In a post on his Instagram page, he wrote, “Nobody deserves to suffer more than men who apologize to women when the women are wrong. And suffer they will from here, and for the rest of humanity’s earthly existence.”
The comments quickly drew mixed reactions online, with some users criticizing Brymo’s perspective for oversimplifying relationship dynamics, while others defended his viewpoint as a reflection of personal conviction. Critics argued that the singer’s stance overlooks situations where empathy and communication are essential, regardless of who is at fault.
This is not the first time Brymo has sparked conversation with his candid takes on societal and relational issues, which often attract both praise and controversy among his followers.
