Timaya Discloses His Traumatic Past of Living as a ‘Sex Toy’: “Older woman used me …”

Singer Timaya real name Alfred Inetimi Odiom, has opened up on shocking details about his past in a new interview. He revealed that he once took up abode with an “older” woman who used him like a sex toy.

According to Timaya, he was a rebel as a youngster, and one of those occasions he ran away from home, he met the woman.

In the interview with Punch, the ‘Ukwu’ crooner disclosed he had to “service” the woman whenever she required sex in exchange for “food and a roof over my head”.

Timaya, who has two daughters, Emmanuella and Grace, with his baby mama, Barbara, also spoke about marriage and how fatherhood has changed him.

”I learnt that to succeed in life, I had to stay passionate about my dreams, never settle for less and keep working hard every day. Most importantly, I learnt to believe that God makes everything possible in good time.

I have been through a lot of things in life, and if I begin to share my story, you will be shocked. I was born into a fairly comfortable family but I was a rebel and I often ran away from home.

I once lived in Port Harcourt with a woman who was older than me and she used me like I was a sex toy. I had to service her whenever she had the urge in exchange for food and a roof over my head.

However, I have always dreamed big. Despite my travails, I never let go of my aspirations while believing that one day, I would make it big.”

Read excerpts from the interview:

Who are your mentors, role models or people that you admire?

That would be Bishop David Oyedepo. I attend Living Faith Church, aka Winner’s Chapel, and I don’t joke with the activities of the church. As much as I can, I make sure I attend as many of their services, crusades, and other programmes whenever I’m in the country.

What are the most important lessons you’ve learnt in the course of your career?

I have learnt that God is everything. He is the most important factor you need to succeed. If God is behind you and you work hard, you would be unstoppable.

Would you be getting married to the mother of your children someday?

I don’t want to answer that question.
