Brymo responds to Fireboy DML’s tweet on him.

The sonic artist only recently responded to Fireboy DML’s tweet regarding his music, which was published more than a year ago.

Olawale Ibrahim Ashimi, better known by his stage name Brymo, is a Nigerian sound artist who responded to Fireboy DML’s tweet about his music.

The incredibly gifted singer, songwriter, and performer, whose debut album as a musician, titled “Mansa,” is anticipated to be released sometime this year, is well known for being very active on the social media platform Twitter. He used that platform to respond to the Fireboy post.

Back in February 2021, Fireboy acknowledged a song by Brymo. Curiously, Brymo didn’t respond until October 2022, referencing the post and asking rhetorically why he hadn’t spoken earlier.
