Nigerian singer Timaya has labeled 2face Idibia as the only singer worth calling a legend. In an interview with SOUND CITY FM, Timaya slammed other singers who love to refer themselves as legends when it’s only just 10 years they have put in the industry.
“In this part of the world, many artistes when they get to 10 years, they start shouting ‘I’m a legend’, ‘legendary’. To me, in this industry, the only person that can call himself a legend is 2face. The others shouldn’t. Even if people call me a legend, I don’t like to be seen like that.”
The singer went on to state that a singer of his caliber doesn’t need to stress himself because shining comes effortlessly.
“The crown never leaves. I am Timaya anytime any day, 13 years is not three years. People don’t understand that making a hit song doesn’t mean you are a star. Stars always shine, some people can make a hit song and you will never hear of them again. There’s no year I’ve never dropped a hit song. I don’t want to be number one. I just want to be a musician. A lot of people have come and gone but I’m still here.”
