So much has changed since Timaya sprouted out like a tiny grass and grew into an Iroko tree in the music industry.

Gone are the days he was known as that Port Harcourt-born youth hungry for fame and fortune. Today, he is a big fish in the market.

Guess where Timaya gets his inspiration from“I love the human backside because it is very beautiful and just by staring at it, I get ideas for songs. And that is how songs like Ukwu and Shake Your Bum, came about. However, I also sing about many other things so it is balanced.”

The singer explained “A lot of people are hypocritical because songs about bums usually have the highest downloads but people would come out to criticise them. So who is downloading them? I have learnt that you can never please everybody and I don’t waste my time trying to do that. I stay true to myself, and if you’re cool with it, it’s okay. And if you’re not down with it, that’s also okay. Life goes on,” he said.
