Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo stirred conversation online on Monday, July 20, 2026, after sharing a post on Instagram that many viewed as a veiled message amid his ongoing feud with DJ Timmy over an alleged unpaid debt. In the post, Dakolo appeared wearing a boxing glove, standing at a doorway in a combative stance. His caption was brief but pointed: it was Monday, and while anyone could start a fight, how it ends is entirely up to you.
DJ Timmy Fires Back in the Comments
DJ Timmy did not hold back. Jumping into the comments section, the disc jockey challenged Dakolo directly, questioning why his Canadian tour had allegedly fallen through. He warned that even if the matter went before a judge, the court would fine Timi Dakolo for the inconveniences caused, and he would be sued for everything he owns. "Pay up your debt and have some respect for your brand. You de owe money," DJ Timmy wrote, keeping very little back in his public call-out.
Background of the Feud
The two have reportedly been at loggerheads over money Dakolo allegedly owes the DJ, with DJ Timmy taking the dispute increasingly into the public eye. The post did not name anyone directly, but the timing was hard to ignore given the simmering dispute between him and DJ Timmy.
