Majek Fashek had earlier accused the R&B singer of remixing his
'Send down the Rain' song without his permission, a report which the
latter denied, claiming that he paid his (Fashek) manager to work on the
song.

Following the song theft allegation made by reggae singer, Majek Fashek, R&B sensation, Timi Dakolo, has come out to deny that he stole the singer’s ‘Send down the Rain’ hit.
Dakolo made a post on his Instagram on Saturday, July 2, 2016, 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’.
Reacting to the accusation, he 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.”
