Nigerian musician Inetimi Alfred Odom better known as Timaya has revealed how Grammy winner, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy, threw out his female coworkers Waje and Omawumi from the studio because they had doubts about him.
The singer recounted how the self-acclaimed African giant had claimed he would someday be paid to board a private plane while they were in a studio years ago.
Timaya noted that Burna Boy was infuriated after Waje and Omawumi voiced scepticism and this caused him to ask them out of the studio.
Timaya made this disclosure during a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos.
He said, “Nothing Burna Boy is doing now surprises me. The guy is fearless. There was one time when Burna Boy, Omawumi and Waje were in the studio, and he [Burna Boy] started saying that a time would come when he would be getting paid to enter jet. Omawumi and Waje started doubting him because then Nigerian artists hadn’t started flying private jets. He got angry and opened the studio door and asked them to leave.”
