"Timaya has not signed me" - Indegenous Maliq


He made waves as the new prince of ibibio rap in Akwa Ibom state, as crowned by E-101 Magazine in one of their editions. He shot a video, did collabos, played a couple of shows to horn his skills in the underground and earned the admiration of many (especially female fans).

In recent time, Indegenous Maliq better know as Ikpa Udo has been missing in action when it comes to the music/entertainment industry in the Southern part of Nigeria, where he hitherto reigned supreme. He took out time in his Lekki, Lagos abode to attend to a few questions from Nelson Sombodi of E101 Magazine on a sneak preview of what he has been up to lately, and to clear the air about rumours of him being signed by Timaya
.
