Nigerian Music Star Reassures Fans After Months of Speculation
Beloved Nigerian dancehall king Timaya has set the record straight after months of swirling rumors about his possible retirement from music. The “Dem Mama” hitmaker took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday to clarify that his recent absence from the spotlight was simply a much-needed break rather than a permanent exit.
The Bayelsa-born artist wrote, playfully in Pidgin: “No be say the boy retire, the boy just been dey sleep…” The clarification sparked relief among his devoted fanbase, who had grown concerned after his extended quiet period in the typically fast-paced music industry.
Known for his electrifying performances and string of chart-topping hits, Timaya’s temporary step back had led to widespread speculation. His candid post not only dismissed retirement talks but also hinted at possible new music, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation in the comments section.
The 42-year-old star’s revelation comes as several veteran African artists have recently taken creative pauses or explored new ventures. By addressing the rumors head-on, Timaya has reaffirmed his passion for music while giving fans permission to expect more of the signature sound that made him a household name across the continent.
Industry watchers now await to see what the “Plantain Boy” crooner has in store following his period of rest and reflection. One thing is certain – Timaya isn’t done making hits yet.
