"I Get Inspiration By Staring At A Woman's Backside" – Timaya Opens Up

Nigerian singer, Alfred Inetimi Odon, popularly known Timaya, has revealed his source of inspiration.

In a chat with Sunday Scoop, the Port Harcourt-born singer, Timaya, said;

I love the human backside because it is very beautiful and just by staring at it, I get ideas for songs. And that is how songs like Ukwu and Shake Your Bum, came about. However, I also sing about many other things so it is balanced. 

A lot of people are hypocritical because songs about bums usually have the highest downloads but people would come out to criticise them. So who is downloading them? I have learnt that you can never please everybody and I don’t waste my time trying to do that. I stay true to myself, and if you’re cool with it, it’s okay. 

And if you’re not down with it, that’s also okay. Life goes on,”

Revealing a side of him that is rarely seen, Timaya spoke affectionately about his daughters. 

He said;

“I did not know I could love anyone the way I love my children. I have a very wonderful relationship with my daughters and I relate with them a lot so they also see me as a friend.”
