Timaya told Punch that he wanted more than what he was offered by the telco company.
According to Timaya, “I have always wanted to become an ambassador to a telecommunications company and I was approached by both Globacom and MTN. I chose MTN. I am a businessman and I feel I should have a better deal this year.”
Timaya also said “If the deal is not good enough for me, then it is not right because I worked very hard to get to the stage I am. It could be right for other people but I think I should do better this year. There are some artistes that are brand ambassadors and they do not have any hit song. They are just there based on pity.

“Every year, I release a hit song and I feel if we are to renew a contract, we have to revisit the terms and conditions. Not that we would do the same thing as the last time or do it out of pity. Being a brand ambassador makes you limited in some certain areas and I expect to be paid for such limitations. I want more. They are good people and we did not have any misunderstanding. It was purely a business decision,”

If he is not careful, he will soon become irrelevant in the music industry.

That's the fact

If this is true, then it's a good move.

Some of you just like posting nonsense sha! Which one come be "pride goes before a fall" kwanu? Where is the pride here now? Ok, how would you feel if after working so hard, lets say to make a 1st class or "2 1" in school. Then one company approaches you, saying they will pay you N50,000 or below to work for them(Salary meant for people who came out with pass or no class at all). I am sure you will dance shoki abi? Timaya has had lots of hit songs in his career. Trust me, its not easy having a hit song especially in a country like naija where there are so many critics! Ask Airforce1 he knows what i am talking about because he is working on his album If timaya says he didn't renew his contract because he wants more than what they are offering then i think he deserves it!
