Nigerian singer, Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, known as Brymo, has publicly questioned his colleague, Tiwa Savage, regarding a line from the recent song she sang with fellow artist, Simi.
Tiwa Savage posted sleek photos of herself on Instagram on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, captioned with the phrase “You’re in my head papi.” Brymo took this opportunity to comment, asking Savage about the thought process behind the line men are crazy in her collaboration with Simi.
Brymo acknowledged that men often express similar sentiments about women in private, yet there has never been a song focusing solely on how “deranged” women can be. In his comment, Brymo asked if the song was a form of reverse psychology and if Savage could expand on her reasons for including the line in the song.
In his words: “Hey @tiwasavage .. I’d like to know the thoughts behind the .. “men are crazy” line… because it’s the one thing boys say most in private spaces about your gender, and none of us ever made a song exclusively about how deranged y’all are…. Yet you did with Simi, and you are the first of both that I am seeing post from since then… so I ask ;- did you play reverse psychology on us, and making the song a projection.. and gaslighting the shit out of me by that??? … or you have real reasons to say so ??… and if it be the latter, expand it for me, please!!.”
Tiwa Savage is yet to publicly respond to Brymo’s inquiry, which adds to the ongoing discussion about the song’s lyrics and their implications.
