“My parents ran away and left me with my grandmother” – Timi Dakolo opens up
During a recent interview on the Tea with Tay podcast, Timi Dakolo, a well-known Nigerian musician, shared the story of how his grandmother became his caregiver after his parents left him shortly after he was born.
According to Dakolo, his parents, who were young at the time and unable to support him, abandoned him with his grandmother and departed, leaving him in her care.
He 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.
When they had me they were like ‘Let’s go and see your grandma’ Then they dropped me 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.”
