Nigerian music legend, Majek Fashek is ready to sue Timi Dakolo for N100m. The argument of paying or not paying Majek for the ‘Send down the rain’ remix by Timi has become so fierce that the court may be the settling ground for the two singers.
Majek manager, Uzoma Day Omenka, confirmed the news “We are not taking this case lightly. We are just awaiting the arrival of our solicitors from the U.S., and the UK then we will hit the courts. For crying out loud, this guy is making money from itunes and he did what he did because he thinks in Nigeria, anything goes. If he can prove as he claimed that he paid for the use of the song and he can show concrete proof of it then he will go free, but if not, we will definitely meet in court.”
In 2016, Timi took to his Instagram page to react to the accusation.He said,
“My people, it saddens me to see such. I always try to do things rightly and lawfully,” Dakolo, who is also a judge on The Voice Nigeria, said in an Instagram post.”
“I paid his manager to remake the song, I got my invoice, I even mentioned to him during our rehearsals at the Headies. So, honestly I don’t understand this write-up.”
“Oga Majek Fashek. I respect and love you. Your voice gives life to lyrics. You are one of the best musicians I know. God bless you.”
