An American Lady from
Atlanta Georgia and Recording artiste, Sheilla Chi Queeneth has alleged that Nigerian Singer Timaya rapped her in Hotel room which Timaya has denied.
According to a report that went viral few days ago, Timaya reportedly had consensual sex, with a lady called Shella who promised to give him all round sex whenever he comes to Atlanta.
It was disclosed that the Bayelsa State born Dance hall artiste agreed to the offer and enjoyed himself in a hotel in Atlanta Georgia before trouble started.
The lady who secretly snapped intimate bedroom photos of the singer, later demanded for fifty thousand American dollars in other to delete the photos.
It was also gathered that a fight soon ensured in the hotel room when Timaya struggled to delete the photos from Shella’s phone Shella later took to the internet to share photos of herself and Timaya and accused him of rape.
The singer has denied the rape allegation. In an Exclusive media statement released recently, Timaya said the sex was consensual. In his words.
“I have been talking with this girl for about one year and it is funny how some one you think you know can act very hungry and low. How can I leave Nigeria and go to America where the law forbids rape? Am I crazy?
“This girl who had been promising to blow out my brain with sex begged to see me when she knew I was in town, but I didn’t know she had a hidden agenda, I agreed to see her  and she came to my hotel in Atlanta and we got down for real”, he said.
“When we were done and we were chilling, I got a call from my manager that we needed to start preparing for a show, she asked to go with me to the show as a couple, but I said no and told her I was there to work. I got up and started preparing for the show but I realised her phone would’nt leave my face and she kept asking me stupid questions and even as I answered, I wondered what she was up to then it hit me that she was recording and I grabbed her phone and we struggled because I wanted  to delete the videos she had made without my consent. I don’t even know if  she still has any, but I deleted the ones I could on her phone,” he explained.
Timaya futher stressed” I called the hotel security and explained what had happened to them. I told them to open her phone so that I could see what she had left, but she refused and was making a scene and the hotel told her to get out, but I didn’t want her to go  cos  I was scared of what she might have recorded and  I insisted on calling  the police, but the hotel told me that if I called the police, I might be arrested for holding her hostage in my room, so I let her go.”
“After then, she continued calling me and she kept changing her story telling me that I rapped her. I tried to play it cool by begging her not to take the route she had taken. I really begged her, but she told me I had to pay her 50k dollars for her to forget it. She obviously did not record  that part because she had ulterior motives. After her demand for me to pay her, I stopped calling her or taking her calls and I changed my number and I guess she got frustrated and went on the internet to try and do damage.”

He noted that the programme would achieve its objectives if government institutions, private organisations, civil society groups, and citizens actively played their respective roles in promoting awareness, resilience, and sustainable practices.
According to him, the inauguration marks an important step toward building a nationwide movement capable of delivering measurable progress in Nigeria’s broader efforts to secure a climate resilient future for generations.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.

Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.

“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.

“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.

Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.

The Tide Entertainment reports that  Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.

The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
