"My Problem Was Spiritual Not Because of Drugs" - Majek Fashek Says As He Drops His N100m Lawsuit Against Timi Dakolo

Legendary singer, Majek Fashek, has dropped the charges against Timi Dakolo, who he thinks is a ‘nice boy’..

The legendary singer revealed this in a new interview with Punch, where he spoke about his career, new music and his family, says he has decided to let Dakolo go.

On the changes in his life and career, he said:

“The change is that Majek Fashek is born again. I believe in Jesus Christ and you will see that in my new music. 

When one is born again, it means old things have passed away. I’m not interested in women, drugs, alcohol and other things like that. I’m only going to be concentrating on making good music for my fans.”

Asked if he intends doing gospel music, he said:

“My music is timeless and that’s why I’m a star in America. To make good music, it has to be timeless. 

I do not fit into any particular genre of music and it is God that gave me that gift. The music industry now is populated by young boys and I’m happy about that.”

Asked if he would be featuring younger artistes, he said:

“I have already recorded a song with 2face Idibia titled No More Sorrow and it is enjoying favourable airplay. The video for the song would be released later this year. 

However, for the Weep not Children album, it would be all about Majek. For now, we would put a hold on featuring other artistes. Immediately after this album is released, I have plans of going back into production, and I would be working with other artistes. We would also be signing on new artistes to our label. We are taking things a step at a time.”

Asked about his viral messy drama with Timi Dakolo, if he intends to still sue the younger singer, he said:

“That issue is pending for now. I spoke with Timi personally and I don’t want to go into that anymore. I don’t want to stop young people from growing. He is a nice boy who is still growing and I have decided to leave him alone. 

Personally, I like him. I think he is a God-fearing person but he was played and duped by some people. Timi even told us that he paid those guys extra and I was not aware of all the transactions. 

However, it’s important for Timi and other artistes to learn the lesson that they have to go through proper channels when they want to do things like this.“

Asked what plans he has to ensure he doesn’t suffer a relapse, he said:

“There is nothing like relapse. I keep saying it that my problem was never about drugs though I smoked marijuana back in the days. Anybody can also drink and be tipsy; it is not a crime anywhere in the world. 

My problem was more spiritual. My problem started when I first returned to Nigeria from America. I came into the country with lots of money and equipment then and I started having issues.”
