Timaya Asks For God's Forgiveness For 'Ukwu' Song

In what I describe as a strange reaction, the ‘Dem
Mama’ record boss — Timaya , is begging God for
forgiveness for singing ‘Ukwu’.

Timaya, the ‘Ukwu’ crooner has stated that
everything he does when it comes to music is
entirely to get himself a living and nothing more.
The outspoken singer said he tries his best to give
his fans the kind of music they want to listen to
and watch, adding that his desire to do something
his fans want is the reason his songs were banned
on television and radio stations.
He claims that his plan was never to do secular
music for a long time because of his upbringing at
the Living Gospel Mission as a chorister but he
changed to the person he is right now because of
what people want.
The singer said he in fact started with Gospel
Music, then he went into singing about envies,
which he got rebuked for anyways. So he decided
to try something new and that’s why he got rid of
his dreadlocks.
Timaya went further to say that what people don’t
know is that he never for once disconnected with
God, despite the fact that he now does secular
songs. He added that he did the hit ‘Ukwu’ song
just to make a living for himself and that he goes
back to God in prayers to beg for forgiveness.
However, his statement did not go down well with
some fans, who think he misleads people just to
make money.

What do you think?
