The ‘Kasayole’ hit maker however dismissed the rumor saying that he opted to leave NRG radio on his own after weighing his options.

Music comes first

In a recent interview with Mzazi Willy Tuva, Timmy explained that he chose music over his radio career because music comes first to him and that he decided to be a full time musician after failing to strike a balance between the two.
