Producer K solo was the producer who defined the Timaya sound..He worked with him on his first 3 albums which were all big sellers.But the friends fell out and there has been different interpretations about their fall out.In this interview with the Punch,he reveals his controversy with Timaya and its association with Patoranking.
K-Solo opened up about his quarell with Timaya....here are some excerpts.............
I learnt Timaya is upset about a young artiste called Patoranking. His songs are actually topping charts at the moment. He featured Timaya in one of his songs. I leant Timaya said he signed the boy on his label. I know it is a lie. Timaya doesn’t like paper work. I know that about him. The boy was picked up by another record label and I learnt Timaya is upset about it and saying nonsense about the boy. Why didn’t he sign the boy? He just shot a video for the boy and the new label, as I learnt, is even ready to pay him what he spent but I learnt he
refused the money.

K-Solo says he discovered Pato Ranking Fire I was the one that discovered the boy at Ebutte Meta. Till now, the boy has an album in my studio. I had released one or two songs for him and I was about to release more when I had the crisis with my ex. Ok K-Solo claims Timaya snatched Pato Ranking from him. Timaya came to my studio and saw the boy. I don’t know how it happened but they left my studio. I didn’t even mind because when I had that issue, I had to let go of everybody around me. So immediately, Timaya did a song with him and shot the video without any form of agreement. Now, he is saying the boy is an ingrate.
K-Solo is displeased with the Dem mama record owner for not appreciating his effort towards his carrear.Whatever you are doing and you feel it is gone; it will be waiting for you. No sinner will go unpunished. When I was his producer, I produced his first three successful albums that made him what he is today. He never came back to show gratitude; instead he is always fighting me. If I talked to him to tell him the right thing to do, he felt I had no right to tell him such because he felt he is a star.
K-Solo continued. When I wanted to get married, he was among the people who mocked me. Now, he has ababy mama. In life, when we don’t know the kind of death we would have, we shouldn’t laugh at people because we don’t know how our case would be.
It is not as if I want to bring him down but I want you to know that nothing lasts forever. It is what you do in life that keeps you going eventually. I was on top of my game before I had the crisis. We should not bite the finger that fed us. God has made me big. I don’t need his money. I can talk about him because I am very comfortable. I don’t pay rent but where he lives today is still a rented apartment even with all his money.
K-Solo declares Timaya as his sworn enemy We are not friends on the job. But if I see him on the road, I can say hi to him. If he decides to respond, it is fine but if he doesn’t, it is also fine. Davido bought a house for his producer the other day. It is not as if Davido is working fully with the producer anymore but he never forgot that the producer made his first hit.
However K-Solo feels he dosn’t need Timaya’s gratitude again as, it is already late, further ruling.
Out any possibility of working with him.
No way! I will never be his producer ever again! I can only give him advice
