Man Crush Monday: Bad Boy Timz

Bad Boy Timz is one of Nigeria’s most exciting emerging talents. Known for his catchy hooks, dynamic performances, and unmistakable energy, Timz has steadily built a name for himself in the Afrobeats world.

Born Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin on August 13, 1999, Bad Boy Timz’s journey to stardom began with his breakout single “MJ,” followed by a remix featuring Mayorkun, which catapulted him into the spotlight. But Timz wasn’t done there—his feature on Olamide’s “Loading” off the Carpe Diem album further solidified his place in the industry. This track became a massive hit, earning him the Rookie of the Year title at the 2020 Headies Awards.

Early Life and Education

Timz is not just musically talented; he’s also academically accomplished. In 2020, he graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering from Bells University of Technology. His skits and freestyles gained attention in 2019, earning shout-outs from industry heavyweights like J Hus. This early buzz led to his signing with Anonymous Music, a move that kicked off his professional career.

Overcoming Challenges

Every journey has its bumps, and for Timz, a notable challenge came in the form of a record label dispute with Anonymous Music. After a legal battle and a public fallout, Timz parted ways with the label, citing breach of contract. Despite the setback, Timz took control of his career by founding his own label, Shock Absorbers Music, in 2021. He also secured a distribution deal with Empire, ensuring that his music reaches a global audience.

Notable Releases

Bad Boy Timz’s discography includes the Timz EP, and several hit singles, including:

• “Hustle” (2019)
• “Complete Me” (2019)
• “MJ” (2020)
• “Move” (2021)
• “Skelele” featuring Olamide (2021)

In addition to his solo tracks, his collaborations have helped expand his reach. Tracks like “Loading” with Olamide and “Faaji” with Blaqbonez and 1da Banton show his versatility and collaborative spirit.
