On Wednesday, an Instagram user identified as Osinubi Omowumi accused the music star of causing severe injuries to her sister.

“She is in the hospital now in serious pain and the funniest part is me messaging him to do the needful but this wicked fellow blocked me after reading my messages,” her accusation read in part.

Her post reads further:

“These celebrities and how they behave @Timaya almost killed my sister this morning. She hit her car with his car and ran. At Ikate a few hours ago, he hit my sister’s car and came down to ask him to look at what he did,” she wrote.

“This heartless human being was asking for number and she told him he would block her rather than for Timaya to do the needful, he hit my sister and ran away.”

Omowumi accused the music star of causing severe injuries to her sister.
