Timaya made his bold claim during a recent interview with Sound City Fm frowning at the indiscriminate way artiste ascribe legendary status on themselves.
He says: “In this part of the world, many artists 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 38-year-old dancehall star, however, held on to his claim of being the king of commercial music in the country stating that one of the reasons is owing to the fact that he has remained relevant since his breakout since 2005.
Timaya started his musical journey from over 13 years ago and released his debut album, True Story, in 2007 with hit songs like Dem Mama, Honey Na Money and Ogologomma.
