“These Gen Z’s don’t know about my early career. So, sometimes when I talk, some people would be like Timaya is unproblematic, he minds his business. I just look at them like, if only they knew me. It’s now that I have calmed, I was really really crazy then. I was hot like fire but I think there’s growth. At the time it was a strategy for me.”
