Popular singer, Timaya recently made a shocking revelation about his life experiences and his success story, in an interview with Punch Newspaper. The singer revealed that he once lived with an older woman who took sexual advantage of him.
In his revelation, he said:
“I learnt that to succeed in life, I had to stay passionate about my dreams, never settle for less and keep working hard everyday. Most importantly, I learnt to believe that God makes everything possible in good time. I have been through a lot of things in life, and if I begin to share my story, you will be shocked.”
“I was born into a fairly comfortable family but I was a rebel and I often ran away from home. I once lived in Port Harcourt with a woman who was older than me and she used me like I was an intimacy gadget.”
“I had to service her whenever she had the urge in exchange for food and a roof over my head. However, I have always dreamed big. Despite my travails, I never let go of my aspirations while believing that one day, I would make it big.”
When asked what artistes must do to be successful, he said:
“Every artiste must always work hard to improve his or her craft; the work never stops. No matter how popular or successful you get, you must keep getting better to stay relevant.”
