Dance hall act Timaya has denied collaborating with producer-turned-singer K Solo on the newly released single ‘I don’t know’, which is currently being promoted on the internet.
Apart from Timaya’s twitter rants on Tuesday March, 29, 2011, where he denied performing on the song; the Egberi Papa of Bayelsa (as he is fondly called) in an SMS sent to Nigerian Entertainment Today (NET) says he hasn’t seen K Solo in the past nine months, adding that his vocals on the single are from a song he had earlier recorded at the producer’s studio.
‘I can’t remember working wif K Solo, my vocals in his promo song is an old song I recorded in his place, n he copied n pasted. I don’t work with Ksolo anymore’, the text message read.
K Solo who produced Timaya’s debut work ‘True Story’, acknowledged that he’s aware of Timaya’s denial of being part of the newly released recording – which is off the beat-maker’s upcoming album ‘Mr. Pedigree’.
However, K Solo neither denied Timaya’s claim nor subscribed to it. ‘I’m not reacting to what he’s saying’ he tells NET on the phone.
‘Timaya has worked with me before, I’m surprised he’s going on the internet to say such things. You’ll never hear any reply from me through the internet, he added.
However, going by K Solo’s unpleasant tone in his voice while commenting on the issue and Timaya’s no hold-barred disclaimer, it is difficult to believe the two did not have an unsettled feud before the release of the controversial song. As such, it remains unclear who to believe. It would seem, if you look deeply, that there’s more to Timaya’s disclaimer than meets the eyes.
And the question many are asking is, who is lying or who is not telling the truth?
Timaya is not new to controversies. So everyone is watching – how will he handle this new episode? Where will it lead to? And will K Solo shy away from the battle, or seize the opportunity and draw attention to himself and his pending recording career?
