Timaya went on to explain that many Gen Z fans are unaware of his fiery early career. “These Gen Zs don’t know about my early days. So, when people say Timaya is calm and stays out of trouble, I just laugh. If only they knew. I was really crazy back then, hot like fire. But I’ve grown; I’ve calmed down now. Back then, it was all part of my strategy.”
