Timaya the Afrobeats star in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos, shared his thoughts on his personality and reputation in the music industry.
When the host attempted to compare him to veteran singer Eedris Abdulkareem, known for speaking his mind, he quickly distinguished himself from Abdulkareem.
According to him, Abdulkareem’s talkative nature has earned him little respect within the industry.
“I don’t talk like Eedris. I don’t behave like him… Nobody is afraid of him because he talks too much. He has always been a talkative,” Timaya stated.
In contrast, Timaya emphasized his desire to earn respect through his actions and behavior.
“I don’t even want people to be afraid of me. I respect myself so that people will respect me,” he said.
When asked about his relationship with Abdulkareem, he reflected on their past encounter.
He revealed that he was once a part of Abdulkareem’s band, but their relationship was limited to a professional capacity.
The Afrobeats star acknowledged Abdulkareem’s contribution to his success story and expressed gratitude, but also noted that they have never had a reason to communicate.
His comments offer a glimpse into his personality and approach to relationships within the music industry.
While he acknowledges Abdulkareem’s influence on his career, he also makes it clear that he values respect and professionalism above all else.
