Timi Dakolo under fire for performing for Atiku, singer replies critics

Nigerian singer, songwriter and music producer, Timi Dakolo has responded after he was called out for singing at Atiku Abubakar‘s political rally.

The former Vice president of Nigeria, who is now vying for the presidency, took to Twitter to share a video of Timi performing at his rally.

This did not go down well with people and many called him out on Twitter. Some took to Instagram to call him out too.

One IG user wrote: “Hunger is a real Bastard!!!

“They have started singing in political rallies ohhh @timidakolo is live at Abuja international conference center singing and endorsing DPD’s Atiku.

“Let it be known that @timidakolo endorsed Atiku.”

In his reaction, the ‘Iyawo mi’ crooner jumped on the comment section of the post to justify his action.

“I will sing and collect bread, my guy. If it pains you well well, go sing your own,” Dakolo wrote.

The singer’s criticism comes a few days after some former Super Eagles players were lambasted for honouring the invitation to play a charity match to celebrate the 70th birthday of Bola Tinubu, the presidential aspirant with All Progressives Congress (APC).
