Thursday, March, 12 2026 - Nigerian singer, Timaya has shared his opinion on having children out of wedlock and marriage.
The Dem Mama crooner sparked outrage after he was seen in a
now-viral clip saying it is better to have children out of wedlock, claiming
that marriage doesn’t work.
Timaya and Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy appeared to be giving
their colleague, Phyno, marital advice in the viral video.
“Just born pikin, pikin go grow. This marriage thing no dey
work,” he said in pidgin, sparking mixed reactions from those in the room in
the viral video.
The video also elicited mixed reactions on social media,
with many disagreeing with Timaya’s stance on marriage.
Timaya is a father of four children with three different
women. He shares his first two daughters, Emmanuella and Gracey, with Barbara
Fumnaya Nwaokolo, his son Emmanuel with Tamar, and his youngest child, Maya,
with Dunnie Onasanya.
In an interview with Naija FM in 2024, Timaya revealed that
he is still unmarried in his 40s because he has never been drawn to marriage.
He, however, added that his stance might change in the
future.
