It was obvious that the self-styled Egberi
Papa 1 had not quite recovered from the
impact of his breakup with a controversial
actress that he dated a few years ago.
Although it is common knowledge that
Timaya broke up with the actress in 2009,
he confessed that the relationship had
robbed off on him badly and wished he
could be rid of the attendant negative
aura.
“You should not date somebody who
already has a negative record. In my own
case, it affected me at that time. I feel
that a relationship should be between two
people and not exposed to the rest of the
world. Only a smart man is able to keep
his relationship private.
“You see, Desmond Elliot and Jimmy Jatt
are both married, but you will never see
their wives in public. Naturally I’m a
private person. The only thing that takes
me out of my shell is my music, which is
what I do for a living. It seems that the
only thing people know about me is that
ugly episode. So I don’t like to talk about
it,” he says, adding that he has learnt a
lesson from the experience.
However, the singer is currently involved
in what he describes as a healthy
relationship and he has since moved on
with his life. Apart from that single dark
spot in his life, Timaya seems to have
been on top of his game since his
fortunes shot up about a decade ago.
During that period, he earned a fat bank
account, recorded six successful albums
and scored several chart busting hits. The
seventh album is currently in the works.
In spite of his achievements, the artiste,
who considers his maiden album to be
the turning point in his career, nurses a
secret desire.
“I wish I had the power to heal people. I
am always inspired whenever I see men
of God likeBishop David Oyedepo
preaching and teaching people. They
practise the same teachings and become
millionaires overnight. I wish I can do
that with my music. I would love to be a
pastor. I really want to be one,” he says.
“A lot of people think I love the female
backside a lot and that is why I sing about
it all the time. But then, people will
always complain, no matter what you do.
When I was still singing conscious music
they complained that my songs were
always full of bile and loathing. The truth
is that I sing about the way I feel at any
point,” he says.
Describing himself as ‘privileged’ to be
considered relevant in the competitive
Nigerian music industry , Timaya says he
has reached the point where there should
be a change in his career and focus. To
prove that he is serious about this, he has
shed his dreadlocks and started
experimenting on a new music style with
his last album. The album is titled
‘Upgrade’ and it was released in 2012.
Although many fans think the album is
riddled with lewd songs, such as ‘Ukwu’
and ‘Shake your bum’, the singer
expresses a different opinion.
Interestingly Timaya is currently writing
his memoir, which will be out in 2014.
Regarding his decision to write the book,
he says, “I am at the point where I feel
that people can read and be inspired by
my story rather than me singing songs.”
When probed further about the content
of the book, he lets out a teaser, “I have
also told the story of a ex-girlfriend of
mine who always wanted to have s*x
whenever she was in the mood for it.”
Although the singer enjoys being a father,
marriage is not in his plans yet.
“I am not considering marriage for now.
But it is something I must do. Before
now, I wanted a child and God gave me
one. I don’t want to have children from
different women. My father had 15
children and I am the last child. I don’t
want to live like that. The truth is, I’am
not ready to get married now,” he says.
Unlike most other successful artistes,
Timaya is not the type to show off his
wealth or material acquisitions especially
on the social media.
“I don’t show off on social media because
It is not just my thing. I bought a Bentley
two years ago and everyone started
buying theirs. I m not even sure some
people know I own one. I bought my G-
Wagon two years ago. Some people will
buy a shoe and put it out there for
everyone to see. I simply don’t fancy
that. Music has made me rich and it gave
me the opportunity to travel out of the
country,” he says
