Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has denied allegations that he owes UK-based entertainment company, Revolve Entertainment, £4,106 in expenses related to a proposed United Kingdom tour, describing the claims as false and defamatory.
The singer, through his legal representatives, Whitestone Solicitors and Consultancy, has also threatened legal action against the promoter and its representative, Otis Ayodele Kubeyinje, popularly known as “Baddest DJ Timmy,” unless the allegations are withdrawn and a public apology issued.
The position of the singer was contained in a letter dated July 18, 2026, signed by Tope Salami and shared on Dakolo’s official Instagram page.
According to the solicitors, they were responding to what they described as a series of false publications made by Revolve Entertainment and its representative, alleging that the singer was indebted to the company.
The disputed sum of £4,106 was reportedly claimed to cover expenses incurred for venue arrangements, graphic design, domain registration, website fees, video editing, visa deposits and consultation services.
However, Dakolo’s lawyers categorically rejected the allegations.
“Our Client unequivocally denies these allegations,” the letter stated.
The solicitors explained that both parties had entered into a formal Performance Agreement for the proposed UK tour, under which Revolve Entertainment assumed full responsibility for organising and financing the event.
According to the agreement, the promoter was responsible for securing performance venues, providing sound, lighting and technical production, arranging local logistics, as well as covering visa expenses, flights, accommodation and transportation.
The lawyers further argued that those expenses were expressly designated as non-recoupable under the agreement and were to be borne solely by the promoter.
They added that only advertising and promotional expenses could be recovered, provided such expenditures received prior approval from Dakolo and his management.
The legal team also noted that the agreement specifically stated that no performance deposit was payable to the singer.
Explaining why the tour never took place, the solicitors alleged that Revolve Entertainment failed to meet critical production requirements necessary for the performances.
“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 letter stated.
It further argued that the technical arrangements proposed by the promoter fell significantly below the professional standards required for Dakolo and his band to perform.
Consequently, the lawyers maintained that the singer could not be held liable for expenses voluntarily incurred by the promoter.
“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,” the solicitors said.
The legal team demanded the immediate removal of all publications containing what they described as false allegations, including posts disclosing Dakolo’s private residential information.
They also called for a clear public retraction of the claims and a written apology to be published across the same social media platforms used to circulate the allegations within seven days.
In addition, the lawyers warned the promoter against any further conduct that could amount to harassment, intimidation or blackmail.
They stated that failure to comply with the demands within the stipulated period would leave Dakolo with no option but to pursue all available legal remedies before the appropriate courts and relevant law enforcement and regulatory authorities in both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
