Twitter users hit Brymo for tweeting “black men like to suffer”

By Ahmed Boulor

One-time rave-of-the-moment, Brymo, who quit his record label Chocolate City in 2013 after a protracted legal battle got on the wrong side of Twitter users and his fans alike when he posted a comment on the social media site saying “black men like to suffer”.

His comments angered many on the platform who said his tweet did not make any sense while some cautioned him not to endanger his already ebbing musical career on the Nigerian scene.

The musician who was criticised some time ago for asking one of his followers to drop out of school if he can’t pay his fees also replied some of the scathing replies he received following his controversial comments on the social media networking site.
