Eedris Abdulkareem Will Always Be My Boss But We Don’t Talk -Timaya
“I was a backup singer for Eedris Abdulkareem for 3 years. I gathered what I learnt from there and went back to Port Harcourt. I realised that with the knowledge that I have, I’m not promoting [my music] from Port Harcourt but Lagos even though I was living in Port Harcourt. Because to live in Lagos at that point was too expensive for me. Even to do a promotion.
“So, I needed to go back and start from my foundation. I left Port Harcourt after I blew. Even Burna Boy, I told him he had to leave Port Harcourt. If you blow up in a place, you have to leave there and love them from afar.
“Eedris Abdulkareem will always be my boss but we don’t talk; not like we are quarrelling.” -Timaya, Nigerian Singer On The Beat 99.9 FM Lagos
