In a recent interview with Channels TV, Timaya expressed his admiration for fellow Nigerian artists, particularly highlighting BNXN and the late Kefee as the most impressive collaborators he has worked with. Reflecting on his experience with Kefee, who was a significant figure in Nigerian music during the 2000s, Timaya described their partnership as unforgettable. He reminisced about watching Kefee record her parts for their hit song “Kokoroko” from her album A Piece of Me, praising her as “a natural talent with the voice of an angel.”
Timaya also shared insights about his collaboration with BNXN on the popular track “Cold Outside,” which was a major hit in 2021. He recounted how the song originated from a casual conversation with BNXN, stating, “We were just talking and I said ‘It’s so cold outside.’ Before I came back, he had recorded the song.” This spontaneous creation showcases the chemistry between the artists and the talent of BNXN, who quickly brought the idea to life in the studio.
Timaya’s accolades for both Kefee and BNXN reflect the high regard in which they are held within the Nigerian music industry, showcasing their unique talents and contributions to the genre.
