My Departure From Chocolate City Was A Blessing in Disguise – Brymo

By Farouk Mohammed

Nigerian singer Brymo has revealed in an interview where he spoke extensively about his career that his departure from Chocolate City is a blessing in disguise.

According to him, leaving the record label was “a scandal to ride on” and that “the drama contributed to the success” of his album “Merchant Dealers and Slaves.”

Speaking with Culture Diaries, he said the major problem plaguing the entertainment industry is restructuring.

“I knew that the industry needed a structure and if it couldn’t be created for everyone, I was going to create it for myself so that in the future up and coming acts can actually sort of benefit from it, people can actually look at what I did and be like this is what Brymo did and we are going to do it.

“My aim from 2013 was to become the most successful artiste of all time in Nigeria, to make records and sell them in millions, and make profits from them and say this album sold this number of copies and this was my profit from it, and that requires having a following, an actual following.”
