Talented Nigerian musician Enetimi Odon popularly known in music circles as Timaya has revealed how he lost a lot of money and body weight while doing hard drugs.
The ‘Sweet Us’ crooner who shared his experience in an interview with Beat FM said that he started taking a drug known as ‘molly’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Timaya said that his ordeal at the time started after he visited some of his young friends and saw they were all overly happy with themselves, and when he asked for the reason behind their happiness, they gave him a drug called “molly”.

“I’m not a saint, I’ve done drugs,” Timaya confessed during the interview, making it clear that he wasn’t referring to marijuana. He highlighted the challenges he faced in overcoming this addiction, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
“It was during COVID 2020, I went to a young guy’s house, and everyone was so happy, and I was like ‘what’s going on, how are you guys happier than me?’ Then they told me that it wasn’t weed. It was Molly, and I was like ‘Molly what is that?’ So they brought it out, and even when I took it I didn’t understand myself, I was so happy,” he narrated.
“I am not a saint, I have done drugs…that’s how I lost a lot of weight”
