Nigerian music sensation Timaya, known for his hit songs like "Dey Your Dey", recently shared his fondness for fellow artist Portable, also known as Habeeb Okikiola Badmus. Timaya, whose real name is Inetimi Alfred Odom, disclosed that his admiration for Portable stems from their shared energy and approach to music.
Reflecting on His Past
Timaya reminisced about his early days in the music industry, noting that he too possessed a similar "energy" that Portable is known for today. He attributed this high energy to a strategic move, aimed at propelling his growth in the industry.
In an interesting encounter, Timaya recalled being in a jet with 2Baba, heading to Delta State, when Portable first emerged on the scene. He shared a amusing exchange where 2Baba inquired about Portable, and Timaya enthusiastically responded, "Zaazu zeh, that guy, na me o because I was a crazy guy."
Embracing the Madness
Timaya confessed that he was often perceived as unproblematic, but those who know him understand that he has a more energetic and flamboyant side to his personality.
