Timaya breaks silence on affair with Empress Njamah: Don’t date someone who already has bad record!

Self acclaimed Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa crooner Enetimi Odom aka Timaya may not have recovered from the impact of his breakup with controversial actress Empress Njamah, an affair that packed up in 2009. He confessed to Jayne Augoye that the relationship had robbed off on him badly and wished he could be rid of the attendant negative aura.

Timaya is currently writing his memoir, which will be out in 2014… Says he also talked about an ex who loved sex so much. Lol…hope it is not who I am thinking. Hehe.

You should not date somebody who already has a negative record. In my own case, it affected me at that time. I feel that a relationship should be between two people and not exposed to the rest of the world. Only a smart man is able to keep his relationship private.

You see, Desmond Elliot and Jimmy Jatt are both married, but you will never see their wives in public. Naturally I’m a private person. The only thing that takes me out of my shell is my music, which is what I do for a living. It seems that the only thing people know about me is that ugly episode. So I don’t like to talk about it

On his secret desire…

“I wish I had the power to heal people. I am always inspired whenever I see men of God like Bishop David Oyedepo preaching and teaching people. They practise the same teachings and become millionaires overnight. I wish I can do that with my music. I would love to be a pastor. I really want to be one.

On why he sings about women backside…

 A lot of people think I love the female backside a lot and that is why I sing about it all the time. But then, people will always complain, no matter what you do. When I was still singing conscious music they complained that my songs were always full of bile and loathing. The truth is that I sing about the way I feel at any point

Timaya is currently writing his memoir, which will be out in 2014…

 I am at the point where I feel that people can read and be inspired by my story rather than me singing songs. I have also told the story of a ex-girlfriend of mine who always wanted to have sex whenever she was in the mood for it

Any plans for marriage now…

“I am not considering marriage for now. But it is something I must do. Before now, I wanted a child and God gave me one. I don’t want to have children from different women. My father had 15 children and I am the last child. I don’t want to live like that. The truth is, I’am not ready to get married now

Why he doesn’t flaunt his wealth on social media…

 I don’t show off on social media because It is not just my thing. I bought a Bentley two years ago and everyone started buying theirs. I m not even sure some people know I own one. I bought my G-Wagon two years ago. Some people will buy a shoe and put it out there for everyone to see. I simply don’t fancy that. Music has made me rich and it gave me the opportunity to travel out of th
