Timaya, the Nigerian dancehall singer and songwriter, has bragged about his “good looks”.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the ‘Sweet Us’ hitmaker showed off his physical transformation, sharing two striking photos that showcase his growth over the years.
Timaya argued that his handsome features were previously obscured by lack of money.
“I was not ugly, I was only broke abi I go lie for you. Throwback Thursday,” he wrote in pidgin English.
