Nigerian Singer, Brymo explains why he performed at an event recently in London in a semi nude attire.
Speaking to Sunday Scoop, Brymo said: "That was the way our forefathers used to dress before the arrival of the West. As a matter of fact, some months ago, a picture circulated on the Internet of a wealthy Igbo farmer who dressed that way in 1930. I just wanted to remind people of our past . It surprises me that people are shocked whenever I dress that way. That was the same way I dressed in the video for my song.
In this part of the world, we are mostly consumers; not creators. If the advanced world should come here and take all of their technologies, we would be left naked. However, I appreciate the people who follow my music and see it as a form of artistic expression. Those are the people I do this for.
For those who don’t like it; sorry, I don’t know what to do about that". Brymo says.
