Nigerian Singer, Olawale Ashimi, aka Brymo performed at an event recently in London rocking nothing but a piece of clothe wrapped around his loins while his butt was left bare. In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Brymo explained the reason for his choice of clothing saying,'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'. He went on to add that, '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'.The post 'Why I performed semi-naked In London' - Brymo explains appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.'Why I performed semi-naked In London' - Brymo explains
