Controversies
All of this began when Timini ended his two-year relationship with his ex-girlfriend Lydia Balogun.

Toju stated that she had slept with Timini and had no intention of stopping. The dispute continued between the women until 2020 when Lydia met Timini.
Lydia’s boyfriend is 14 years older than her, so when he decided to end their relationship, she brandished her sword at him. She claimed he sexually abused young, naive adolescents. She referred to him as a predator, a cradle thief, a pervert, and an awful individual in general.
Timini responded that all the women he has dated are older than the legal age limit. He stated that both he and Lydia were responsible for the end of their relationship.
People claimed that he was dating teenagers, which infuriated him. Timini claims he has never done such a thing, and he is fully aware of how terrible it is.
