Singer Dancehall Nigeria Enetimi Odon, who is known among music as Timaya, has revealed how he sells his first album for the N500,000 and sells the body of both of his work for N24 million.

The singer ‘True Story’, who opened during the interview at Podcast Afrobeats Intelligence with Joey, said that he had to sell his first album for that number at that time because he really needed to enter the Lagos market.
