In the fascinating world of Nigerian music, the love story between Timi Dakolo and his wife Busola shines with a soft light. In a recent interview with Fatshimetrie, the singer humorously shared the story of their meeting and romance.
It was in a church that Timi Dakolo first noticed Busola, annoyed and frowning. Intrigued by this beautiful woman with a stern look, he decided to approach her. He invited her to be his date for the church dance, and asked for her phone number. To his surprise, she did not pick up when he called her.
Despite this first telephone misstep, Timi did not lose hope. Every Sunday, he looked for Busola in the same place, until she confessed to him that she had been the victim of a phone theft. Their budding friendship was initially marked by Busola’s attempts to keep them as mere friends, but Timi categorically refused to be relegated to the “friend zone”.
Determined to win Busola’s heart, Timi recounts with amusement how she was embarrassed by his car, a Kia Picanto that he had won when he became the winner of the first season of Idols West Africa in 2007. Despite Busola’s mockery, he promised to surprise her one day.
Today, Timi Dakolo and Busola form a solid and close couple, proving that love can be born from the most improbable situations. Their story, marked by funny moments and perseverance, is a beautiful representation of the magic of love.
Beyond the glitter and rhinestones of the music world, it is above all a genuine and warm story that binds Timi Dakolo and Busola. Their complicity and their love have withstood the test, demonstrating that sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with a severe look in a church.
