Popular songstress, Omawumi, has debunked Timaya’s claim that a young Burna Boy once ordered her and Waje to leave the studio for doubting him.

Recall that Timaya had claimed in an interview in December last year that Burna Boy once ordered Omawumi and Waje out of the studio because they doubted his prediction that he would eventually be paid to board a private jet.

Reacting in a recent interview with Naija FM Lagos, Omawumi stated that the purported studio drama never happened.

She said she felt irritated that Timaya involved her in a condescending manner while praising Burna Boy.

Omawumi said, “That thing no happen. What hurt me the most about it is that I have been friends with Timaya. Timaya and Burna Boy, you know, [in this music industry] we accord everyone their respect. And I’m very big on respect, that’s why I reciprocate. I don’t like talking down on my colleagues. That’s how I built my brand.

“First of all, my irritation is that Timaya was trying to make a point about Burna Boy, why involve me? Why did he bring my name into it? Also, this same Timaya has been in a lot of embarrassing situations that I would never bring to the public just because I want to promote my music. Even Burna Boy has never said such things. Whenever he sees us, he respects us.

“So, why did Timaya feel he could say such? He wants to tarnish the reputation of my brand that I’ve worked to build for almost 20 years because negative news trends more than good news. Now, when people want to talk about me, they would reference his claim that I was thrown out of the studio. I felt so irritated.

“I don’t care whether he said it in a good or bad light. Why did he involved me in the first place? That incident never happened. For context, the only time I have been in the same space with Burna Boy, Waje and Timaya was in 2010 when Waje hosted us while she was recording a song with Burna Boy. And I left them there because it was getting late. So, I don’t know when the incident of Burna Boy ordering I and Waje out of studio happened.”
