Oyogist.com has learned that Singer Olawale Olofooro, better known as Brymo, has refused to make further comments about the damning accusations he made towards his colleague, Innocent Idibia, better known as 2Baba, in a series of posts on his official Twitter page.
Recall that Brymo in a lengthy tirade had claimed that 2Baba falsely accused him of sleeping with his wife, adding that he had waited long enough for the “African Queen” crooner to take back his words.
Brymo’s tweets read in part, “In the very recent past, a man falsely accused me of sleeping with his wife and I’ve waited in angst, and the words were never taken back still, efforts were consistently made to prove I did it still and my soul has known no lasting peace ever since. Mr Innocent Idibia had, at an AFRIMA press conference in 2015/16 or thereabout, walked into the room, sat beside me and elbowed me in a supposed greeting, as much as 4-5 times, repeatedly, while looking away, saying “BrymO, BrymO.” and we exchanged no other words that day.
“Weeks later, I was lured into being hosted by a friend I had just met and after spending days getting high and philandering, I was asked if I would love to be a part of an organisation, of which I responded “well, I might want to, except I do not subscribe to being battered. Minutes later, my host said he was walking down to another guest house, where some guy has messed up and must be punished.. told me to come but didn’t wait for me. Well, I was the guy it turned out. Later I found out from an undisclosed source that Mr Idibia was responsible for the attack, yet I couldn’t decide if it was for supposedly bedding his Mrs or for claiming the spot of the greatest artiste alive.”
Responding to the allegations, 2Baba through his lawyers, requested an apology on social media or face a N1bn suit in court.
The court papers sighted online read in part, “We are solicitors to Mr Innocent (2baba), hereinafter referred to as “our client” and on whose instruction we write. Your publication on Twitter that our client ‘falsely accused you of sleeping with his wife’, and that our client ‘was responsible for the attack’ on your person, which ‘was for supposedly bedding his Mrs or for claiming the spot of the greatest artiste alive’, among other similar false allegations have been brought to our client’s notice. The baseless and false accusation has caused unspeakable distress to our client and his family.
“Our client will give you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps you were inspired to spew such nonsense after one of such self-confessed episodes of ‘spending days getting high and philandering.’ In which case, we demand that, within 48 hours of receipt of this letter, you withdraw your statements, and publish on your entire social media accounts an unreserved apology to our client and his wife. Should you fail or refuse to meet our demands, we shall perfect our client’s instructions and pursue redress by seeking no less than N1bn in damages against you in court.”
When Saturday Beats contacted Brymo’s manager about the allegations the musician made and the lawsuit from Innocent Idibia’s lawyers, he said, “We have no comment concerning the issue for now. Please, respect my decision not to further comment on the matter.”
However, Brymo via his Twitter handle, said, “I’ll advise they go on to the court, as I insist on all my tweets asserted, they are not nonsense.”
