Nigerian music icon Timaya has revealed why he’s drawn to controversial singer Portable, citing similarities in their personalities.
In a recent interview on Channels Television, Timaya shared: “That’s why I like Portable, when he came out newly, I told 2face Idibia about him on our way to Delta State. I said, have you heard that guy Portable? Zazu Zeh. That guy is just like me because I was a crazy guy.”
Timaya reminisced about his early career, saying: “These Gen Z’s don’t know about my early career. So, sometimes when I talk, some people would be like Timaya is unproblematic, he minds his business. I just look at them like, if only they knew me. It’s now that I have calmed, I was really really crazy then. I was hot like fire but I think there’s growth. At the time, it was a strategy for me.”
The veteran musician’s endorsement of Portable highlights the importance of embracing one’s true self in the music industry.
