Recall, Timaya has shared his reasons for avoiding marriage, explaining that he finds it harder to get out of a marriage than a relationship.
In a recent interview on NAIJA FM, the singer opened up about his reluctance toward the institution of marriage and his approach to fatherhood with his four children.
When discussing marriage, Timaya revealed, “I’ve never been a marriage guy right from time, but it can change. Marriage dey crase? I just look at it like, if I marry today, would I be able to get out? In all my previous relationships, I was the one who got out because I don’t like stress.”
