Nigerian dancehall maestro, Inetimi Timaya Odon, popularly known as Timaya, has revealed that he has never been married to anyone in the past and currently has no intention to get married anytime soon.
Timaya, who is a proud father of four children from three women stated this in an interview on Wazobia FM.
While speaking on the reasons why marriages of the current generation don’t last like that of the older generation, Timaya, who claimed not to have ever been married nor has any intention to get married said the younger generation gets married for the wrong reasons which lead to early marriage crashes.
According to him, getting married comes with many responsibilities that one must be prepared for.
