“The only person that can call himself a legend in the Nigerian music industry is 2face” – Timaya

Nigerian singer, Timaya has said that only Innocent ‘2baba’ Idibia qualifies to call himself a legend among the active artistes in the music industry.

Timaya during a recent radio interview with SoundCity FM said:

“In this part of the world, many artistes when they get to 10 years, they start shouting ‘I’m a legend’, ‘legendary’. To me, in this industry, the only person that can call himself a legend is 2face. The others shouldn’t. Even if people call me a legend, I don’t like to be seen like that.”

The dancehall star maintained that he is still the king of commercial music, saying,

“the crown never leaves. I am Timaya anytime any day, 13 years is not three years. People don’t understand that making a hit song doesn’t mean you are a star. Stars always shine, some people can make a hit song and you will never hear of them again. There’s no year I’ve never dropped a hit song. I don’t want to be number one. I just want to be a musician. A lot of people have come and gone but I’m still here.”
