Nigerian singer Timaya reflects on negative dating experience.

Multiple- award winning musician Timaya has disclosed that his relationship with controversial actress, Empress Njamah, had a negative effect on his life.

In 2009, the lovers broke up in a very bitter way. It was even reported during that time that Timaya was allegedly beaten to pulp at a church in Lagos, when he tried to let loose his anger on the actress.

Speaking in an interview with The Punch, the self-acclaimed Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa has said the following:

“You should not date somebody who already has a negative record. In my own case, it affected me at that time. I feel that a relationship should be between two people and not exposed to the rest of the world. Only a smart man is able to keep his relationship private.”

However, Empress has maintained that there can never be a reunion between her and Timaya stating categorically that the dude is her past.
