Why I Attacked Timaya In My Song –nico Gravity by showbiz1: 10:38pm On Feb 20, 2010
Why I scattered Timaya
I came back from Abuja and needed to re-establish my relevance, to let people know that I am back, that was just apart. The major thing is that I listened to Timaya’s music, and I want to say that it’s very interesting. I saw a lot of loopholes in his lyrical reasoning. He makes 10 songs, nine and half are about himself and the things he has acquired and the money he has made. I remember that when we were learning how to play music, the first thing you try to make is sense.

As some people would ask you, what is the meaning of this song? I discovered that music was becoming more meaningless. Yes, self praise is an internationally acknowledged and accepted pattern of writing songs but an artiste’s lyrical range doesn’t have to be narrowed down completely to self-praise and I discovered that Timaya was mostly all about himself. I also saw that Timaya was making his songs as if he is quarelling with somebody and has problems with artistes who are based in Lagos.
Timaya’s music reflected a certain kind of disrespect or let me say anger for artistes in Lagos.

The ultimate reason I attacked Timaya was because of that line where he said, I broke into their Lagos market. Note the word, their, if it had been, I broke into the Lagos market, am very sure I wouldn’t have had any problem with that. But the word their sounded so direct and so personal as if he has been beefing Lagos artistes for a long time. I know artistes from Port Harcourt who came to Lagos and made a lot of waves, Etiene T Boy did it, Daniel Wilson also did it, but I saw all of that as fun. It was interesting and I saw the opportunity of making interesting music based on that topic.

I doubt if Nico really gave this interview.
1) The grammar was too clean.
2) I mean when did Naija artistes esp an Aj city's got to know of "loopholes" "lyrical reasoning" etc?
3) Infact he was even dissectin Timaya's sentences questioning his use of "their" instead of "the"
4) He admitted he was lookin for relevance in attackin Timaya?!
Hmmm somethin is fishy here

Re: Why I Attacked Timaya In My Song –nico Gravity by nyabingi(m): 12:46pm On Feb 26, 2010
If na true sey Nico actually granted that interview then he's got a point but i personally dont like that music he made, its just rubbish, he even used vulgar language. And for Tymaya, he's just too full of himself, he should try much more to develop good lyrical contents for his music, there's a lot of duplications and repetitions in almost all his tracks and if he does not caution himself, his fame may depreciate.
