About Bad Boy Timz

MJ was still climbing the charts when Bad Boy Timz knew he had arrived.

Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin was born on August 13, 1999. He would later become known to millions simply as Bad Boy Timz. The Lagos-bred artist grew up in Nigeria's bustling music scene, where he caught the production bug early.

His breakthrough came with "MJ" in 2019. The song was infectious, catchy, and undeniable. Two separate remixes followed almost immediately, each one expanding the song's reach across Nigeria and beyond the borders.

The first remix featured Mayorkun. Then came another version with Teni. Both versions proved that Bad Boy Timz had crafted something special—a record that resonated across different audiences and kept audiences engaged.

That same year, he was featured on Olamide's "Loading" from the album Carpe Diem. The collaboration introduced him to Olamide's massive fanbase and cemented his position as a rising force in Nigerian hip-hop and rap.

The industry took notice. At The Headies 2020, Bad Boy Timz won the Rookie of the Year award. At just 20 years old, he had already made his mark on Nigeria's music landscape.

His rise from unknown to award winner happened in record time. Bad Boy Timz had proven he could create hits and collaborate with established names. The momentum from "MJ" and its remixes showed no signs of slowing. What started as a single became a movement. What began as a young artist's dream became a chart-dominating reality.
