“If it pains you well well, go sing your own” – Timi Dakolo replies after he was criticized for performing for Atiku (Video)

On Wednesday, Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo performed at the presidential declaration of Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president.

According to reports, the ‘Iyawo mi’ crooner rendered a colourful performance of his hit song, ‘Great Nation’, as Atiku officially declared his intention to contest in the 2023 presidential election at the international conference centre (ICC) in Abuja.

Since Atiku posted a video of his performance on his Twitter page, Timi Dakolo has been under fire on social media.

Many Nigerians slammed him for attending the event despite his staunch criticism of the political elite of the country.

However, some people defended him, saying he did nothing wrong.

Amid the wave of criticism, an Instagram user posted a screenshot of the video with a caption;

“They have started singing in political rallies. Timi Dakolo is live at Abuja international conference center singing and endorsing PDP’s Atiku.

“Let it be known that Timi Dakolo endorsed Atiku.”

Reacting to this, Timi took to the comment section of the post to justify his action.

He simply wrote;

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