Popular singer Timi Dakolo has shared how he climbed out of the friend zone to become his wife’s husband. He recently had his say while speaking to The Morayo Show, and fans have been reacting.
Opening up about how things slowly changed between them before they eventually became a couple, Timi revealed that he first noticed her in church and was interested enough to ask for her number.
The “Omo Ayo” crooner added that his wife only stopped seeing him as a friend after he stopped calling her for four days.
His words, “I saw a beautiful girl in church and got her number.
I took her on a date, but she kept friend-zoning me, even after I started driving her to work every day. I stopped calling for four days… then she called and gave me a chance.
That’s how I met my wife.”
Timi Dakolo (born January 20, 1981) is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and music producer. He emerged winner of the inaugural season of Idols West Africa in 2007. Accompanying his victory was a recording contract with Sony BMG, in addition to other prizes.
Timi Dakolo was born in Accra, Ghana to a Nigerian father, Bayelsa-native David and a Ghanaian mother, Norah Kimmy Head, who died when Dakolo was thirteen years old. Despite being born in Ghana, Timi has a Nigerian passport and does not claim dual citizenship.
He was raised in Port Harcourt by his grandmother Ateni Dakolo and his aunt Susan Larry, and he credits his aunt as his early singing teacher. So deep was their relationship that Timi declined an offer to move to Lagos with his parents, opting to stay back in Port-harcourt with them.
In 2011, he released the song “There’s a Cry”. The music video was filmed in Nigeria. He is currently signed with Lone Records/Now Muzik.
