Dating actress with bad record affected me seriously, the only ugly episode of my life -Timaya

It will be recalled that Timaya and actress Empress Njamah dated for a few years with the much publicized affair ending in 2009. Timaya however expressed regret

about the relationship in an interview with punch recently,

“You should not date somebody who already has a negative record. In my own case, it affected me at that time. I feel that a relationship should be between two people and not exposed to the rest of the world. Only a smart man is able to keep his relationship private."

“You see, Desmond Elliot and Jimmy Jatt are both married, but you will never see their wives in public. Naturally I’m a private person. The only thing that takes me out of my shell is my music, which is what I do for a living. It seems that the only thing people know about me is that ugly episode. So I don’t like to talk about it,” he says, adding that he has learnt a lesson from the experience." Timaya says
