Timi Dakolo

Nigerian gospel singer Timi Dakolo has threatened legal action against disc jockey and show promoter DJ Timmy over allegations that he owes £4,106 in connection with a proposed United Kingdom tour, describing the claims as false, defamatory and an attempt to blackmail him.

The dispute escalated after DJ Timmy, whose real name is Otis Ayodele Kubeyinje, alleged in an Instagram post that Dakolo had failed to repay the money despite requesting additional time. The promoter also threatened to expose the singer’s alleged private affairs if the debt was not settled by Monday.

Responding through his legal representatives, Dakolo denied owing any money and insisted that the disputed amount related to expenses incurred by the promoters for a tour that was ultimately cancelled.

In a letter issued by his lawyer, the singer stated that he had entered into a written performance agreement with DJ Timmy and Revolve Entertainment, which clearly assigned responsibility for production, travel, accommodation, visa processing and logistics to the promoter.

According to the letter, the agreement expressly provided that those costs were to be borne entirely by the promoter and were non-recoupable, while only approved advertising and promotional expenses could be recovered under specific conditions.

Dakolo maintained that the proposed UK tour never held because Revolve Entertainment failed to meet key contractual obligations, particularly in providing the required sound, lighting and technical production standards necessary for his live performances.

He argued that since the tour did not proceed due to the promoter’s inability to fulfil its obligations, there was no contractual basis for demanding reimbursement of expenses voluntarily incurred by the organisers.

The singer further accused DJ Timmy and Revolve Entertainment of defamation, cyberbullying, harassment and blackmail through their social media publications.

His legal team demanded the immediate removal of all posts alleging indebtedness, as well as any publication disclosing his private residential information.

The letter also called for a public retraction of the allegations and a written apology to be published on the same social media platforms where the claims were made within seven days.

In addition, Dakolo demanded that the promoter cease making further statements capable of damaging his reputation or amounting to intimidation.

The letter warned that failure to comply with the demands within the stipulated period would leave the singer with no option but to pursue legal remedies before the appropriate courts and regulatory authorities in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

The disagreement has drawn attention on social media, where supporters of both parties have debated the contractual dispute. However, Dakolo insists the matter is governed by the terms of the written agreement and should not be misrepresented through public accusations.

The case could now proceed to litigation if the parties fail to resolve the dispute within the seven-day deadline outlined in the legal notice.
