Self -proclaimed Egberi Papa, Timaya has shared a part of his life people hardly know about him. The popular dancehall singer said he once lived with an older woman who used him as a sex toy.
Timaya said he had to “Service” the woman whenever she required sex in exchange for “food and a roof over my head”.
Hear him:”I learnt that to succeed in life, I had to stay passionate about my dreams, never settle for less and keep working hard every day. Most importantly, I learnt to believe that God makes everything possible in good time. I have been through a lot of things in life, and if I begin to share my story, you will be shocked,” he told newsmen.
“I was born into a fairly comfortable family but I was a rebel and I often ran away from home. I once lived in Port Harcourt with a woman who was older than me and she used me like I was a sex toy.
“I had to service her whenever she had the urge in exchange for food and a roof over my head. However, I have always dreamed big. Despite my travails, I never let go of my aspirations while believing that one day, I would make it big.”
Addressing the criticism of the vulgar lyrics of his songs, Timaya put up a defence by saying they are “what people really want”.
He said: “Some people criticise those songs, but they have millions of views and downloads online within a short period. We really should stop deceiving ourselves.”
“Like I said earlier, I sing about a variety of things. Music is a money-making business, so I always consider what people want to hear and give them priority. That’s what fetches me money.”
