“There’s a part of me that wants to seek remorse for my condition for a requirement with talented Simi. I just wanted to have that experience of making music with a female act I was bedding.

The musician also revealed that he turned down Adekunle Gold’s requests for a song feature, blaming it on unanticipated events. However, he clarified that he didn’t know Simi and AG Baby were dating when he made overtures to her. In response to a tweet, Brymo said:

“Though AG reached out later, I like to think that he didn’t check in again, by will or fate because I turned down the same request many years before…I also did the same with Simi… said | wanted to get intimate to create intensity. I didn’t know they were together of course”

Brymo acknowledged that he declined requests for collaboration from Simi, Ghanaian singer Efya, and some other female colleagues, citing his sexual desires as the cause of his choices.
