Singer Inetimi Timaya Odon, aka Timaya, has once again rejected the idea of dating Nigerian girls on social media.

It is no news that Timaya prefers to be with foreign women instead of Nigerian girls, seeing as he has mentioned it on several occasions.

The singer’s preference did not change in a new video which was made by celebrity interior designer, Ehi Ogbebor.

In the video which was originally shared on Ehi’s Instagram stories, she was heard telling her fans that Timaya needs a woman after the singer claimed to be on the streets.

Timaya then took back his words by saying that he is not on the streets. The singer then said he did not need a girlfriend, especially not Nigerian girls.

Not stopping there, Timaya showed his seriousness by rotating both of his arms over his head and snapping his fingers, a popular Nigerian gesture which means ‘God forbid’.
