Timi Dakolo is a thief, he stole my song- Majek Fashek fires | I paid his manager to remake the song, I got my invoice- Timi Dakolo replies

There seem to be a serious trading of words between Timi Dakolo and the Rain Maker himself, Majek Fashek. In 2013, Timi did a remix of Fashek's song 'Send down the rain' and the veteran artiste claimed that Timi Dakolo capitalised on his state of health and remade his song without taking permission from him, added that he also broke some rules.
“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. I have a management team I work with headed by Omenka Uzoma.
Dakolo never bothered to look for me before stealing my song. He has infringed on the laws of copyright and he is not an original artiste. It is only people like Tuface, Wizkid, Olamide that are original. I felt bad when I learnt that he worked on my song without my consent.
.
He did not even give me credit. He is a very bad artiste and he took advantage of the circumstance that I was facing during that time. 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.” Punch reports.
Fashek’s music business consultant, Omenka Uzoma, said they would soon begin to fish out all those who have been exploiting him.
However,  Timi Dakolo has denied the claim that he stole veteran artist Majek Fashek’s song.
He said he did the remix of the song in 2013, also got permission for that.
“My people, it saddens me to see such. I always try to do things rightly and lawfully,” Dakolo, who is also a judge onThe 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.”
