In an interview with The Beat 99.9 FM in Lagos, Timaya explained that he shares the same foundation and upbringing with Nigerian ladies, and so a relationship between them would be too toxic.
He further added that they would lie to each other too much, and there would be no peace in the relationship. Currently, his lover is not Nigerian.

Netizens react;
@nbaconnect247: “I keep telling people this but some will said I don’t know what am saying… I can’t marry a Nigeria girl or any African girls because I’m from Nigeria and I’m from Africa… I love all Nigerian and African girls, and I respect them but I want my kids to have two nationalities.”
@7morhe: “I thought this guy usually spits nonsense but everything I heared from him today valid”
@solomingogo: “Why are many Nigerians delusional when they are on the mic?”
@ine_gwen: “Well you needed to trend to promote your new song with this rubbish?”
@Mayokunolatunde: “Police and thief is a perfect description of Nigerian dating scene.”
@crownlesskiing: “Lmao this is probably the hill I’ve been trying to die on since I left Nigeria. Two Nigerians in a relationship is just too stressful when you can have other options. It has nothing to do with gender, but everything to do with where we all come from.”
@yab_them: “He didn’t need to be saying this with the kind of music he is making now”
