In an exclusive interview, Nigerian music icon Timaya has shed light on a dramatic incident in the Nigerian music industry involving Burna Boy, Omawumi, and Waje. According to Timaya, Burna Boy’s controversial decision to order the renowned singers out of a recording studio was not fueled by personal animosity but rather a clash of creative visions.
Timaya, speaking candidly during a recent conversation with the press, explained that the tension between Burna Boy and the two vocal powerhouses occurred during a recording session that was supposed to feature collaborative work among them. “Burna is a perfectionist,” Timaya said, “and sometimes, when he’s working, he gets very focused on his vision for the track. He wants things done his way, and if the vibe isn’t right, he can be quite vocal about it.”
Timaya clarified that Burna Boy’s decision to ask Omawumi and Waje to leave the studio was purely a professional disagreement related to the direction of the song they were working on. “It wasn’t a personal thing. He just felt that their presence was throwing off his creative flow,” Timaya noted.
According to sources close to the artists, the incident occurred while Burna Boy was working on a new project and had invited Omawumi and Waje for a collaboration. However, it appears that the energy in the studio became charged when the two singers’ ideas clashed with Burna Boy’s vision for the track.
While the event initially caused a stir in the media, Timaya insists that the tension has since dissipated. “They are all professionals,” he said, “and they’ve worked together in the past. This is just part of the creative process. Sometimes, people get caught up in the moment.”
Burna Boy, Omawumi, and Waje have not publicly addressed the incident, but sources suggest that any fallout from the incident was quickly resolved, with each artist continuing their individual projects.
Timaya also emphasized the high standards that Burna Boy sets for his music. “He’s a global superstar for a reason,” Timaya said. “His passion and commitment to his craft are unparalleled, and that sometimes means making difficult decisions in the studio.”
Despite the controversy, fans are eagerly awaiting new music from all the involved artists, as they continue to dominate the Nigerian music scene.
