Singer Timi Dakolo has officially responded to allegations made by DJ Timmy, also known as Baddest DJ Timmy, who claimed Dakolo owes him money and engages in s£xcapades while married. In a statement from his lawyers, Dakolo denies any debt and warns of legal action if defamatory statements are not retracted.
Allegations of Debt and Threats
DJ Timmy alleged that Timi Dakolo owes him £4,106 and has refused to pay back. He shared an invoice to support his claim and warned that if Dakolo does not pay, he would expose all his s£xcapades and Lagos activities to his wife, who resides in the UK with their children.
Timi Dakolo's Legal Response
Responding via a statement from his lawyers, Timi Dakolo explained that he does not owe DJ Timmy any money. According to the statement, Dakolo and Revolve Entertainment, represented by Mr. Otis Ayodele Kubeyinje (Baddest DJ Timmy), entered into a written Performance Agreement for a proposed UK tour.
The statement clarifies: "Under that Agreement, Revolve Entertainment, as Promoter, expressly assumed responsibility for, amongst other things, securing venues, providing sound, lighting and technical production, arranging local production, and bearing visa-related costs, flights, accommodation and transportation. The Agreement further provided that such expenses were non-recoupable and were to be borne entirely by the Promoter."
Tour Cancellation Due to DJ Timmy's Fault
The statement adds that the tour did not take place due to faults from DJ Timmy and his event company. It reads: "Unfortunately, the proposed tour never proceeded because Revolve Entertainment failed to satisfy fundamental production requirements, particularly in respect of sound, lighting and technical production, which were contractual obligations resting solely upon the Promoter. The technical arrangements proposed fell materially below the professional standard required for a live performance by our client and his band. As a result, the tour could not proceed as at that principal period."
Dakolo's lawyers emphasized: "Accordingly, Our Client bears no contractual or legal responsibility for expenses which the Promoter voluntarily incurred, particularly where such expenses were expressly allocated to the Promoter under the Agreement or were incurred without the approvals required by the Agreement. A tour our client never announced because the duty to crystalize such announcement had not been fulfilled by the Company."
Legal Warning and Demand for Retraction
Lawyers for Timi Dakolo warned DJ Timmy against making defamatory statements and demanded that he removes every defamatory publication, publishes a retraction, issues an apology, and refrains from further tarnishing Dakolo's image. They warned that they would go to court if the above demands are not met.
