Timaya Opens Up About Controversy-Driven Past
Lagos, Nigeria – October 23, 2024
Nigerian singer Timaya has revealed that his decision to use controversy as a strategy early in his career ultimately backfired.
In an interview with Channels TV, Timaya stated that the media overstretched his controversial image, which proved costly. He recalled seeing his face in newspapers used to wrap suya, making him the topic of discussion.
The ‘Dem Mama’ crooner attributed his past controversies to his foundation as a Port Harcourt boy and being the only one causing controversy at the time.
Notable past controversies include:
- Retrieving a car gift from ex-girlfriend Empress Njamah
- Beef with producer Nico Gravity
- Alleged debt dispute with Terry G
Timaya has since rebranded, moving away from controversy.
This revelation offers a glimpse into the singer’s journey and growth in the music industry.
