Brymo Shares the Harrowing Experience His Mother Faced
Singer Brymo recently shared a difficult story from his family’s past. His mom went through a scary experience when she was young (she was raped). This horrible event affected her health.
Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong, and Brymo’s mom and dad visited many different healers for help. Amazingly, during this time, Brymo’s mom was actually pregnant with him, even though it seemed impossible!
Brymo is proud of his mom’s bravery. Even though something awful happened to her, she found the courage to report it. This experience clearly had a big impact on Brymo, who learned the importance of courage from his strong mom.
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 reason, she didn’t see her period anymore afterward. And that kept on like that for three years or so till she met my dad.
“While they were taking her around 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].”
