Timi Dakolo
Recall that Dakolo has been holding Lazarus accountable as the pastor calls out gospel artists for charging huge sums to minister in churches, and fans have been reacting.
However, the pair have now made peace, and Pastor Lazarus recently shared a photo of him and Timi posing with Pastor Emmanuel Iren.
Reacting, Lazarus wrote that the singer genuinely carries the burdens of musicians, and his concerns are genuinely real.
He added that Timi Dakolo is clearly a music legend who deserves to be given his flowers.
His words, “My brother @timidakolo is a music legend. Give him his flowers
What a man!
He genuinely carries the burdens of musicians
His concerns are real.
I love you.
Better structures will be built.
Pain is real. From pulpit to the pew, the pain is real, but we will be fine.
This generation will not have a carryover of pain.
Hosts will do better
Guests will do better
We will have a better nation together. I don’t know how to edit my brother @pst_iren out of the picture.”
WOW.
Timi Dakolo (born January 20, 1981) is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and music producer. He emerged winner of the inaugural season of Idols West Africa in 2007. Accompanying his victory was a recording contract with Sony BMG, in addition to other prizes.
Timi Dakolo was born in Accra, Ghana to a Nigerian father, Bayelsa-native David and a Ghanaian mother, Norah Kimmy Head, who died when Dakolo was thirteen years old. Despite being born in Ghana, Timi has a Nigerian passport and does not claim dual citizenship.
He was raised in Port Harcourt by his grandmother Ateni Dakolo and his aunt Susan Larry, and he credits his aunt as his early singing teacher. So deep was their relationship that Timi declined an offer to move to Lagos with his parents, opting to stay back in Port-harcourt with them.
In 2011, he released the song “There’s a Cry”. The music video was filmed in Nigeria. He is currently signed with Lone Records/Now Muzik.
