Timi Dakolo denies £4,106 debt claim, threatens legal action against promoter

Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has vehemently denied allegations of owing £4,106 in expenses related to a proposed United Kingdom tour. His legal representatives have issued a strong rebuttal, threatening legal action against the promoter, Revolve Entertainment, and its representative, Otis Ayodele Kubeyinje, also known as “Baddest DJ Timmy.”

“

Our Client unequivocally denies these allegations.

A letter dated July 18, 2026, shared by Dakolo on Instagram and signed by Whitestone Solicitors and Consultancy, directly refutes the claims. The alleged debt was said to cover costs such as venue arrangements, graphic design, website fees, and visa deposits. However, the solicitors firmly stated, “Our Client unequivocally denies these allegations.”

According to the legal document, the parties had entered into a written Performance Agreement. Under this agreement, Revolve Entertainment, as the Promoter, was solely responsible for securing venues, providing technical production, arranging local logistics, and covering costs for visas, flights, and accommodation. These expenses were designated as non-recoupable, with only advertising and promotional costs eligible for recoupment, and only if first approved by Dakolo and his management.

“

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 also stipulated that no deposit was payable to Dakolo. The tour ultimately did not proceed because Revolve Entertainment failed to meet fundamental production requirements, particularly concerning sound, lighting, and technical production, which were contractual obligations resting solely on the Promoter. The proposed technical arrangements were deemed professionally substandard for a live performance by Dakolo and his band, leading to the tour's cancellation.

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.
