Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has broken his silence over debt allegations made by disc jockey DJ Timmy, with his legal team sending a formal cease and desist letter on Friday, July 17, 2026. Through his lawyer, Dakolo flatly denied owing any debt, describing the claims as defamatory. The letter demanded that DJ Timmy immediately stop making such statements about the singer and his family, giving a seven-day ultimatum before legal proceedings would commence.
Details of the Alleged Agreement
According to the letter shared by the music star, DJ Timmy and his company, Resolve Entertainment, were contracted to provide sound, lighting, technical production, secure the venue, and arrange local production for a tour. However, the tour never took place because the company could not meet the standards required by the client. The letter explained that the money DJ Timmy claimed Timi Dakolo owes him was used to secure everything listed in their agreement, which was the DJ's responsibility.
DJ Timmy Fires Back
Rather than back down, DJ Timmy took the fight directly to Dakolo's Instagram comment section. The DJ mocked the cease and desist letter, claiming it was written using ChatGPT, and showed no signs of standing down. He also promised his followers that more evidence against the singer was on the way. The back-and-forth has drawn significant attention online, with many fans watching closely to see whether the dispute escalates into a full legal battle or gets resolved behind closed doors.
Public Reactions
Social media users have weighed in on the drama. @ann ehgodin commented: "Na wah o I hate it when two adults fall out and they are so eager to speak to dirty secrets they shared. It irks me so bad. Relationship are not forever and if you need to move on, please move on without throwing tantrums. When it involves money please take it civilly and leave social media out of this." @asethrtis spa salon reacted: "Its the urgency to bring down a fellow man this days for me, i don’t blame him i blame social media." @ahmedolalekann added: "Is it the 'Wish Me Well Tour'? I did all the voice overs for that Tour but till this moment, I haven't heard anything from the Producers that brought the job. No payment, nothing. I even sent you @timidakolo a message on the matter. @baddestdjtimmy I need my own money for my services too o. If it's the same Wish me well Tour."
