Nigerian music star, Inetimi Odion popularly known as Timaya, has berated his former boss and legendary musician, Eedris Abdulkareem, calling him a talkative.
During an interview on Naija FM, Lagos, Timaya claimed that nobody respects Eedris because he talks too much.
Timaya’s comment came after the host said, “You and Eedris Abdulkareem are among the artists that people are mostly afraid of picking a fight with.”
“I don’t talk like Eedris. I don’t behave like him…. Nobody is afraid of him because he talks too much. He has always been a talkative. I don’t even want people to be afraid of me. I respect myself so that people will respect me,” Timaya replied.
“I have never had any problem with Eedris. It was just a relationship of the boss and apprentice. I don’t even think he knows my name at that time. I only gave him shutout because he was part of my success story. We don’t have any reason to communicate. When I was serving in his band, he didn’t had any reason to build a relationship with me. When people are serving you don’t act like you’re tolerating them, treat them like family because you don’t know tomorrow,” Timaya said in reaction to question about his relationship with Eedris.
