Pop singer Timaya welcomed his first
child – a baby girl in May 2012n but the identity of his baby mama has
remained a secret. Well now there’s a photo for you to check out.
NET learns that the lady who stole
Timaya’s heart is Barbara, a singer and budding actress. The dark
skinned lady, who is in her 20s, is believed to have met Timaya in 2010.
Fans of the ‘Dem Mama Soldier’ boss
might be disappointed to know that there won’t be any wedding bells
ringing soon, as Timaya says he’s not considering marriage for now. ‘I
wanted to have a baby by Barbara because she is my kind of woman; the
kind of woman I’d like to spend the rest of my life with and this was
why I decided from the outset that I’d go the whole hog with her. But
she knows that marriage is not something we will dabble into now’,
Timaya told E-Punch a few days after Barbara gave birth.
However, he is focused on catering for
their needs. Timaya (whose’s real name is Enetimi Odom) named his
daughter Emmanuella Perere Timaya. ‘I’m building my own dynasty which is
why my baby and the other ones that would come after her would bear
Timaya as their surname, not Odom’ he explains.
‘Marriage comes with a lot of
responsibilities which are beyond financial or material things. God has
blessed me with everything a man needs to have a successful married life
and you can bet that Emmanuella and Barbara will get the best of
everything money can buy, but personally, I don’t feel ready for it‘.
Reports say Timaya put Barbara and
Emmanuella in an apartment in the heart of Ikeja, and bought her a GL
Fomatic 450 Benz, valued at about N13m.
Since breaking up with former lover Empress Njamah,
Timaya has managed to stay out of controvers – He recently released his
fourth album ‘Upgrade,’ cut his hair, and is said to be busy performing
at high-paid shows.
‘The music industry is growing
bigger by the day and very soon, indolent artistes would be swept to the
background. I don’t want to be a yesterday star; neither do I want to
end up being a fleeting star, I want to continue being relevant. That is
why I am putting my everything into music and God is blessing the work
of my hands‘ Timaya says
