Nigerian music icon Timaya has opened up about his decision to remain unmarried despite a thriving career in the entertainment industry.
In a recent interview with Naija FM, the “Dem Mama” crooner disclosed that marriage has never appealed to him, saying, “I’ve never been drawn to the idea of getting married.”
The singer, however, hinted that he might reconsider his stance someday, leaving the door open to the possibility of marriage in the future.
“I’ve never been a married guy right from time but it can change because marriage ‘dey craze’? I just look at it like if I marry today, would I be able to get out? In all my previous relationships, I was the one who got out because I don’t like stress”, he said.
Timaya explained that his hesitation towards marriage stems from his desire for freedom and his dislike for stress.
The singer emphasised the importance of open communication in relationships, stating that he values honesty and transparency.
He explained: “If you have a problem with me, let’s talk about it because I don’t like going to bed thinking about things, I go die o. I don’t like anything to bother me at all.”
On fatherhood, Timaya shared that his children live with their respective mothers, but they maintain a close bond.
He explained that being a father can be stressful, but it’s also enjoyable.
Timaya revealed that he spends quality time with his children, and they often visit him for extended periods.
Despite not being in a romantic relationship with their mothers, Timaya emphasised that they have a respectful and familial relationship.
“Being a father is stressful because I love them too much but it’s enjoyable. My four kids live with their mothers so when I want to see them, I ask their mothers and they come to my house and we spend two to three months together then they go back to their mothers. Christmas is coming and they’d spend it with me as well, but their mothers don’t come because they’re in relationships. We’re all family now so I can’t date any of them, we’re family now and we respect each other”, he said.
