Majek Fashek granted an interview to the punch claiming Timi Dakolo did not contact him or seek consent before sampling his song Send down the Rain. However. Timi said he is telling lies because he paid (has invoice to prove it) and also mentioned it to the singer.
Majek had earlier told punch;
He broke the rules of copyright. He is a thief because in music business, one must take permission before working on someone else’s song. That is why we have COSON,”
“Dakolo never bothered to look for me before stealing my song. He is not an original artiste. It is only people like Tuface, Wizkid, Olamide that are original.”
“The song is not a normal song; it is a spiritual hit song. Timi Dakolo does not know how I suffered to get that song. I fasted for seven days before I got that song. I partook in three days ‘white’ fasting before the song came to me. Timi Dakolo did not go through that. I did not fight him because I do not have time. Let God judge us.”
Timi Dakolo responded via Instagram saying;
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 DONT 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..
