The Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa, Timaya, born Inetimi Timaya Odon, has taken his senior colleague and Jaga Jaga crooner, Eedris Abdullateem to the cleaners.
Event took a twist recently during an interview with a radio station in Lagos after the host asked him thus: “You and Eedris Abdulkareem are among the artists that people are mostly afraid of picking a fight with.”
However, responding to the question, Timaya, said: “I don’t talk like Eedris. I don’t behave like him…. Nobody is afraid of him because he talks too much. He has always been a talkative.”
“I don’t even want people to be afraid of me. I respect myself so that people will respect me.”
“I have never had any problem with Eedris. It was just a relationship of the boss and apprentice. I don’t even think he knows my name at that time. I only gave him shutout because he was part of my success story.”
“We don’t have any reason to communicate. When I was serving in his band, he didn’t had any reason to build a relationship with me. When people are serving you don’t act like you’re tolerating them, treat them like family because you don’t know tomorrow.”
