There has been an age long rivalry between Timi Dakolo and Darey. The rivalry started when Darey was crowned as Nigeria’s King of RnB back in 2011 by City People Entertainment. It became further heightened when Timi Dakolo and Darey released songs with similar messages Wish me well and Pray for me.
In a recent interview , Pray for me sensation Darey reveals that he is not in any competition with Timi Dakolo. When asked If he is competing with Timi, he said:” You can’t tell me people think there is some kind of rivalry. I speak for myself, over the years, I have been making my music and I have never been in any competition with anybody. I’m only in competition with myself. I try to improve on anything I have done before. I won’t say I am in competition with anybody and I don’t think anybody out there should think they are in competition with anybody else. Just do your own thing and make good music”.
Speaking on collaborating with Timi, he said: ”We have not talked about it but who knows? I know I have spoken to Banky W about making music together. I think when the right time comes. We are all brothers. In fact, Banky is my cousin, so no problem. It’s really about the music. When the moment comes and the music is right, there could be collaboration. That would be nice. Maybe, me, Timi and others would join hands and do like a national anthem for the ladies”
