Timaya discusses with us himself as an individual, controversies surrounding him, rumours, stardom and most importantly the ladies! Read more as Aproko.net reveals all…..
Inetimi Odon aka. Timaya is now a household name as a result of his music. He entered the music industry with a unique reggae sound and soon became one of the most sought after acts following closely by fame and fortune.
Born in Rivers State, Port Harcourt now living in Lagos, Timaya still calls himself a ’street boy’ and enjoys eba and egusi with vegetable soup. So what are the truths and stories behind the stage named ‘Timaya’………
He is usually viewed as an arrogant individual with an attitude but the artist said, “I’m not arrogant or snobbish like many beleive and you’d find that in my first album, I said Timaya is hot like fire and people wondered where the fire in me is. I only have the arrogant swagger look.’ He continued by saying, “Sometimes I look hard on purpose so people will not take me for a ride therefore people think I’m tough but really I’m very friendly, I could even get too playful!”
Recently there has been a story that Timaya has been harassing a Yoruba actress, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe, with love advances. On this he began by saying that he is no saint and went on, “I actually said I was going to give her a slap because it is a lie she is putting out there saying that I’m sending love advances to her. I performed at AY Live and while I was on stage performing one of my songs and I said I needed a girl on stage to dance with and she stepped out on her own. It was even Gbenga Adeyinka who brought her to the stage and she danced. So, after the show, I went to Da Grotto and she also followed suit with Pryncess, everyone from Ali Baba to AY the comedian can testify to this. The next thing I saw was the story and immediately, I got so pissed that I called Pryncess to give me her number and I called her. She infuriated me by saying she didn’t know about it. I told her that I didn’t like it so I told her to let’s clear the air because I have a girlfriend and it’s like a rundown for me.”
From one female controversy to the next as rumours have been heard that Empress Njamah and Timaya are more than just friends. He stated to us that they are just good friends and that she is definitely not pregnant and certainly not with his child.
The extremely talented individual said that God is behind everything that has happened and happens to him but how has success changed him as a man? Apparently it hasn’t changed him at all besides now he can afford to buy absolutely anything he wants and in some places people shout his name.
Freedom for Timaya, like all celebrities, has however seen change. “I used to go around on bikes especially in traffic but now, I can’t anymore, my manager holds me down always, trying to make me realise who I am now, but I still remain a street boy. I don’t like obstacles and all they write about me does not even bother me one bit. But this recent one is the one that bothered me because it has to do with pictures and I would never steal in my life. The lady is just using my name to get herself into the public eye, looking for a way to get popular. I’m enjoying it and there’s no week that I’m not in the news. Though I like it but it becomes painful when it’s always bad or something you didn’t do because a clear conscience fears no accusation.”
There was a recent allegation that the artist beat up a photojournalist but here is what really happened. “I only said delete it and they were struggling with me. I can’t imagine someone taking snaps and dodging. We (Timaya and a lady) were not kissing and I just got to the club and saw her and the next thing was that they took the pictures. I was only relaxing and I met a lady I used to know and they took the pictures obviously with another intention. I honestly didn’t beat any photographer, we only argued and struggled with them because I didn’t want the pictures used. I’m not the violent person I have been painted to be.”
Now we know the truths behind the controversies and rumours except for if he is only friends with the Empress and the actress Bisi Ibidapo-Obe, then who is the lucky lady? This we couldn’t quite get out of him but he reassured us that very soon we will get to know the lady and she’s out of the news! As soon as we know, you’ll know.
