Speaking in a recent interview with The Beat 99.9 FM, Lagos, the singer, who has three Nigerian baby mamas, further stated that he cannot date his compatriot, because they have the similar foundation and upbringing.
Timaya said: “If I am a Nigerian girl, I will not date a Nigerian man. Myself right now, I can’t date a Nigerian girl. My current lover is not Nigerian.
