Brymo’s earnest apologies should be accepted by the Igbos, says management
According to Olawale ‘Brymo’ Ashimi’s management, the musician sincerely apologized for his remarks on Igbos on Twitter.
Remember how the singer of “Ara” caused uproar by attacking Igbos on Twitter due to their political affiliations and differences?
Brymo had written several blogs with a tribal bent, but his tweet, “F**k The Ndi Igbo!,” was the final straw. All Hell Breaks Loose!
A petition was started to have the singer’s nomination for “Song Writer of the Year” at the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMMA) revoked as a result.
The former signee of Chocolate City responded to the development by posting an explanation on Instagram.
Brymo said; “It is very important you understand that this entire fracas began with me seeing in the media that Chimamanda Adichie (popular author) refused some national honours and had picked up some traditional title in the East at home.
“And I suggested that for me, it says a lot about the Igbo presidency because that actual seat is what the region should be eyeing right now. I have clamoured for Igbo presidency in the last few years, you wouldn’t believe it.
“It will pop in your mind when you hear the news that Igbos do not actually want the presidency. I did not insult the tribe, I am sorry to anyone who it sounded as such to. I was trying to weigh into a very important matter.”
The musician apologized, but many people didn’t accept it since they thought it wasn’t sincere.
But his manager, Ortega Kakawa in an interview with The Punch, said; “Brymo has apologised to the entire Igbo on his Twitter space and Instagram live, where he addressed the fracas and miscommunications he may have caused online. His apology was not under duress but at free will in his personal space.”
“The entire management also sends heartfelt sincere apology to every Nigerian in the country and in the diaspora that may have been affected. We hope every petition signed against him is nullified in good light.”
