In a recent interview with Beat FM, renowned music artiste Timaya, also known as Inetimi Alfred Timaya Odon, likened dating Nigerian women to a relationship between thieves and police, expressing why he prefers not to pursue romantic relationships with them.
Despite having three baby mamas who are Nigerians, Timaya candidly admitted that he wouldn’t consider dating a Nigerian woman due to the potential toxicity stemming from shared backgrounds and upbringing.
He elaborated, “I can’t date a Nigerian lady because we have the same foundation; the same upbringing. The relationship will be like police and thieves. It will be too toxic. We go dey lie for each other too much. We won’t even have peace.”
Timaya hinted at his reluctance to marry anyone in a 2022 post on X, suggesting that he may never tie the knot.
The artist has four children—Emma, Gracey, Emmanuel, and Maya—from three separate relationships.
His first baby mama, Barbara Nwokolo, whom he dated earlier in his career, is the mother of Emma and Gracey.
His second baby mama, Tamar, received lavish gifts from Timaya after giving birth to their son in 2018.
The singer’s third baby mama is Dunnie, an American-based artist.
