Timi Dakolo reacts after Majek Fashek accused him of stealing his song “Send Down the Rain”

Veteran musician, Majek Fashek  in a chat with Saturday Beats recently, revealed how R&B singer, Timi Dakolo“stole” his evergreen hit song, Send Down the Rain.

Timi, in 2013, had done a remix of the song but Fashek said Timi never took permission from him before doing the song.

The reggae singer said Timi Dakolo capitalised on his state of health and remade his song without taking permission from him…

Reacting to the accusation,  Dakolo made a post on his Instagram page today, where he refuted claims that he remixed the singer’s hit song without his permission.

According to the R&B singer, he paid Fashek’s manager an undisclosed amount in a bid to do his own version of ‘Send down the Rain’.

 Timi 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.”
