My Mum Was Raped as a Teenager – Brymo
Olawale Oloforo, a.k.a. Brymo, a controversial artist, said there are unanswered questions about his birth. The musician disclosed that his mother stopped having periods after being raped when she was a teenager. Brymo revealed in an open conversation with Chude Jideonwo that his mother was pregnant even though she hadn’t had a period in years, and that his parents were jumping around spiritual houses in search of a solution.
He clarified that he learned courage from his mother’s bravery in reporting her abuser.
He said: “The story surrounding my birth and the entire family is weird. There are always mysteries.
“There is a story of my mum, she had a traumatic experience, a sexual experience as a teenage girl. It was a rape incident. And for some weird reasons, she didn’t see her period anymore afterwards. And that kept on like that for three years or so till she met my dad.
“While they were taking her round herbalists and doctors, and pastors and imams, wherever they could go, so she could start bleeding, a woman needed to see her period before she could get pregnant, well, it happened that she was already pregnant, five months in and there was no blood. So, that was strange right? I had to kick for her to know that a child was there.
“While everyone was giving her medicine to drink, they were trying to force an abortion without knowing [laughs].”
