I will only shave off my beards if offered $100M, (N36bn)

It about 5 years now that popular dancehall singer, Timaya, has been nurturing his beards and it has become his trademark. Timaya has been on dreadlocks for some time before he finally ditches the hairstyle.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, Timaya said he had a genuine reason why he shaved off his dreadlocks but he would not shave off his beard for any reason, except if he was offered about $100m (N36bn).

The Ukwu singer said,

“Maybe $100m would make me shave off my beard. Other than that, I won’t shave it off until I feel like it’s time. I have been keeping the beard for about five years.

“When I cut the dreadlocks some years back, I felt it was necessary at the time. It represented where my mind was at, at that time. It’s also rather important to keep reinventing (yourself), to stay relevant.”

The self-acclaimed Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa further spoke about being a single father and balancing it with headlining shows around the world. The father of three said he never jokes with his children and that their births would continue to mark the happiest days of his life.
