Popular singer, John Njeng-Njeng aka Skales has spoken on Timaya‘s reaction when he found out about his homelessness.
Skales said the Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa shed tears when he found out his predicament.
The rapper, who used to be label mates with Wizkid, exlained how he became homeless in a podcast interview with Chude Jideonwo.
He noted it happened after his record deal with Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) was terminated and the house given him by the label was taken back.
Recounting how Timaya tearfully yet graciously offered him his penthouse after being intimated about his struggle at the time, Skales said,
“So after I finish doing work, which was mostly with Timaya, I’ll just go to my car and pass out.
“The next morning, I’ll probably pull up in the house like “Yo, I want to use your bathroom”.
“I only had my toothpaste and my brush then. I’ll just go brush my teeth real quick.
“I was good vibes so everybody wanted me around you know. But only myself and one of my friends knew what I was going through but a lot of people didn’t know.
“So one day, Timaya found out and he actually cried. He felt so bad because I was always with them, I was always chilling, and he didn’t know what was going on.
“So when he found out, he was like, ‘There’s this penthouse that he doesn’t use for anything’. He now told me to move in there.”
