Oh dear, life oh life. Please be
nice to people you meet in life when you are on top, cus no one knows tomorrow.
Absolutely no one. Timaya has said he owes Eedris Abdulakareem no thanks while
he worked as a member of his band, and neither was Eedris nice to him like he
now claims. According to Timaya, he stays outside the gate of Eedris
Abdulkareeem from morning till night whenever he goes to see him, because they
would not allow him in, and eventually, he sends someone to tell him to come
back next week. He says Eedirs can’t take the glory of his career or reign and
he should quit telling people he made him, because he never learnt from him.
Timaya made these statements while answering a question from Saturday Beats if
it was true that Eedris trained him and made him like the one time popular
singer claims. Below is what Timaya said;
Abdulkareem, did he give me due recognition? Eedris did not make me who I am
today. I was the one that went to meet Eedris in his house. He never treated me
well. I would stay at the front of his gate from morning till night and he
would send somebody to tell me to come back after a week. When I returned the
following week, he would not see me. I used my money to pay to attend his shows
even though I was his band member. I was not celebrated.
his life was N1, 000 and it was after we had the Kuramo Beach show. That was
nothing compared to the money I had been spending on transport. I was not
bothered because I wanted a platform and I was learning. Like I always tell
people, whatever you want in life, you just need to make sacrifice. Even if
they feed you poop, you are not going to eat it forever. I gained a lot from
that experience. It was through him that I met Sound Sultan and a lot of
people. Eedris and I don’t do the same kind of music, so he does not influence
me musically. I have never been in a studio where he was recording before and
he never gave me that opportunity, so how did I learn anything from him,” he
queried.
