Famous Nigerian musician, Timaya has disclosed why he likes the controversial street-pop singer, Portable.
Speaking in his latest interview on Channels Television, Timaya explained that Portable reminds him of his past “because he’s crazy like me.”
Reminiscing on his first encounter with Portable’s music, Timaya pointed out the similarities between them.
“That’s why I like Portable, when he came out newly, I told 2face Idibia about him on our way to Delta State. I said, have you heard that guy Portable? Zazu Zeh. That guy is just like me because I was a crazy guy.
“These Gen Z’s don’t know about my early career. So, sometimes when I talk, some people would be like Timaya is unproblematic, he minds his business. I just look at them like, if only they knew me. It’s now that I have calmed, I was really really crazy then. I was hot like fire but I think there’s growth. At the time it was a strategy for me.”
