Majek Fashek is accusing R&B star, Timi Dakolo
of stealing his song.
In a recent interview with Saturday Beats , the
Reggae icon revealed that Timi Dakolo never took
permission from him before he recorded a remix
of his hit song, Send Down the Rain in 2013,
adding that the Iyawo Mi crooner had exploited
the fact that he was mentally unstable.
“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,” he said.
He also slammed Dakolo, calling him a fake
artiste for infringing on the laws of copyright.
“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.”
In addition, Fashek admitted that he was hurt
that he wasn’t even given credit for the song and
further explained why.
“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.”
Majek Fashek, has been stable since March after
receiving treatment at an Abuja based rehab
centre. He and his business consultant, Omenka
Uzoma are now trying to fish out all those who
took advantage of him.
Although Timi Dakolo initially declined to respond
when contacted to get his own side of the story,
the singer eventually took to Instagram to
address the issue.
