He said, “That’s why I like Portable. When he first came out, I told 2Baba while we were on our way to Delta State, ‘Have you heard that guy, Portable? Zazu Zeh? That guy is just like me because I was wild back then.’
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.”
