Singer, Inetimi Timaya, popularly known as Timaya, recently
went down memory lane when he told fans about his rise from grass to grace.
Speaking during a performance at the Coca-Cola Urban Music
Festival held at the Eko Energy City, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Saturday,
Timaya said, “I used to sell plantain but now I am rich. I suffered so much as
a boy but I am now a rich man. Thanks to God. If you’re here and you think you
are suffering, do not give up. Keep pushing because you will surely succeed.”
Timaya was the last performer at the event which also
featured other artistes including Wande Coal, Ycee, Buju, Omah Lay, Reekado
Banks, Ajebo Hustlers, Cheque and Blaqbones.

song, ‘Dem Mama’, which also appeared on his debut album, ‘True Story’ released
the following year.
His works have earned him several notable awards including
Headies, AFRIMMA Awards wins, One Nigeria Music Award and NEA Award.
