Nigerian Singer Timi Dakolo Reflects On His Musical Journey And Career
Nigerian Singer Timi Dakolo reveals that he sometimes still thinks he became a musician by luck. During an interview with On The Record Podcast he recalled his musical journey, he stated that he viewed music as a hobby and not as a career then.
He shared that he decided to pursue music professionally after he won the Idols West Africa in 2007. “I still see myself as an accidental musician. Yeah, I used to sing in choir. I used to just like that I sang. The first idea of music was during morning devotion.”
“Then, we started singing street songs. We used to have notebooks where we write songs and they were girls to impress. So music was not something I thought I would do professionally. It was after Idols that I decided to do music professionally. “I said to myself, ‘Okay, we are here. Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you take to avoid it’.”
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
