Timi Dakolo has always been on the news for all the right reasons but this time, its a messy one. The alternate singer has been accused of copyright infringement by prolific reggae singer and guitarist Majekodunmi Fasheke, popularly known as Majek Fashek. According to Majek, Timi Dakolo did not obtain the legal backing to remake his hit song “Send Down The Rain“, he further called Timi Dakolo a thief who capitalized on his ill health; “He broke the rules of copyright. He is a thief because in music business, he must take permission before he works on someone’s song. That is why we have COSON. I did not give anyone the right to do anything with my song.” However, The Vow singer was quick to respond to the allegation saying he had paid Majek Fashek’s manager for the song and has his invoice as evidence; READ “My people it truly saddens me to see such… I always try to do things rightly and lawfully… 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..” The veteran reggae act Majek Fashek, came out strong and made a good public appearance after spending quality time at a rehabilitation facility in Abuja, the federal capital territory of Nigeria.
