Timaya Abandons Baby Mama For Empress Njamah?
A recent post in the so-
cial media has it that dancehall artist, Timaya has abandoned his baby Mama Barbara for his former girlfriend Empress Njamah. The Bum-Bum Crooner was seen recently with Empress hanging out together. In the Instagram post of 26th September, 2016. The Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa State wrote. “It’s always a pleasure seeing you my dear friend EMPEE”.
Recall they were both in an intimate relationship in 2008, but split in 2009 following several accusations and counter accusations. Their break up made the news so bad with gossip sites and soft sell magazines weaving several interesting narratives around the pair. As a result, they were fodder for magazine gossips time and again with the issue almost feeling like one to remain forever a part of Nigerian entertainment and pop culture.
Though currently in a romantic relationship with Barbara, the mother of his daughters, Emmanuela and Grace, Timaya has hinted several times that he is unready to get married. While it is unclear what his plans are in this light, we see him and his old sweet heart empress in this new picture making the rounds and we can’t but conclude there is more to the hang out.
Actually, we aren’t certain and there are no concrete proofs that substantiate our claims here, but there is a strong feeling that both entertainers are back as lovers, or as secret lovers at worst case-because as we said earlier, when two old flames meet again, there is every possibility of a rekindled sexual relationship. It is what it is. They are humans afterall, aren’t they? On the other hand, it could all be a publicity stunt but then we will have to wait to find out as only time will truly tell.
You will also recall that D’banj and Genevieve were once rumoured to be involved in a serious affair at some point, a relationship so strong they were even reported to be marriage-bound. But it all ended eventually with all the lovey-dovey displays we saw from them both fizzling out like fog in a sunny December morning once again. Or at least, they gave us the impression that they were back as one, even though subtly, but against, nothing came out of the affair.
Popular businessman and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest, has said that his relationship with singer Davido is beyond money and gossip.
