“I first met Timaya back in 2009, but life was really hard for me then.

I was struggling badly, hustling from one place to another just to survive.
In 2011, I went to see him again, and the first thing he asked me was, ‘Where have you been all this while?’ I told him I had been in the streets trying to make ends meet.

Then he told me something I can never forget. He said, ‘You’re not leaving this house until you record a sweet song.’
At that time, I was living in the ghetto with nothing to my name. So when I got the opportunity to stay around him, I gave everything I had in the studio because I knew I couldn’t afford rent, food, or studio sessions on my own

God used Timaya to change my life forever.
From Maruwa Garden on the Mainland, he carried me along to Lekki. While staying with him, I recorded “Alubarika,” and the moment that song came out, my whole life changed completely.

Timaya didn’t just support me with words. He gave me shelter, paid for my video, believed in my talent, and stood by me when nobody knew my name ”– patoranking
