Talented Nigerian R&B (Rhythm & Blues) singer Timi Dakolo has recounted how life was for him as a child who didn’t grow up with either his father or his mother.
The husky-voiced musician, who opened up during an interview with media personality Taymesan Emmanuel on the latest episode of the Tea with Tay Podcast, said his grandmother raised him.
The father of three said that he does not think his mother was up to 20 years old when she had him, and his father was probably in his early 20’s when he was born.

Dakolo said, “My parents—I don’t know why they were doing knacking at a very young age. They were very young, so they didn’t know what they were doing.”
He continued: “When they had me, they were like, ‘Let’s go and see your grandma’ Then they dropped me off with her and ran away because they were too young and didn’t know what to do with me.
‘‘I don’t think my mother was up to 20 years old when she had me, and my dad was probably in his early 20’s. They were childhood sweethearts, then they left each other, and he went back to Ghana.”
