Olawale Ashimi, better known as Brymo, says if Chocolate City, his former record label, had its way, he would have stopped singing a long time ago.

Speaking with Toolz, famous Beat FM on-air personality, the superstar said it is very difficult to forget the legal tussle with the Audu Maikori helmed label.

“Even though it happened a long time ago and I am constantly trying to forget it. I feel like somebody needs to resurrect the case in court,” he said.

“We had the opportunity to iron it out in court but they fried it up. I don’t know what they did but they definitely spoke to the judge and spoke to the lawyers and scrapped the case, they are lawyers; they can do it.

“I don’t know what they are doing right now, the last time I was in court was in May 2015 and they came out to tell everyone that Brymo won the case; the judge never even passed the sentence. The judge just came that day and said, ‘I can’t do this, they don’t trust me so I’m going to drop the case’, and so he dropped it.

“While everyone is saying I should try and reconcile with Choc City and be nice to them, they are not even being nice to me. If they had their way, I would have stopped singing a long time ago, I’ll not even be on stage performing anymore.”

In 2013, Chocolate City sued him over alleged breach of contract.

He left the company before his seven years contract expired, and independently released his third studio album, Merchant, Dealers and Slaves in October, 2013.

Last year, the singer told TheCable that nothing would ever make him return to Choc City.
