Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has revealed how he handled a recent misunderstanding between his wife and his middle daughter Hallel.
Timi on Thursday shared the message his daughter sent to him on Instagram.
“I’m sending this message to you to inform you about a misinformation that happened between me and my mother. It all started when Alex was angry that I came to your room to sleep and started showing signs of aggressiveness. Although you’ve warned me many times not to use it and I accept what I did was wrong, one thing that doesn’t sit right with me is my mother’s unfair behavior towards me,” she wrote.
Timi publicly revealed the details of the message, stating how proud he was for his daughter’s eloquence and level of emotional maturity.
“Throughout the whole interaction with my mother, I kept calm and never raised my voice but she was offended by some phrases I said like “I’m confused” in my opinion. I think she was quite angry at the fact in the beginning I had a bit of an altercation with Zoe and Alex and reflected her anger towards me… In the end I decided to write this message to you, although I know you will take her side I just wish you will hear mine instead of everyone assuming I’m wrong straight away. If you would like to forward this to her to see if I missed anything please do,” Hallel wrote.
Timi responded to her message in another Instagram post shortly after, stating his wife’s concerns and reassuring his daughter.
“My Favorite Halleluyah, first of all, I love how you write. See me prouding and smiling as I read your message. You write so well for your age. I think I should find you a private writing teacher. Now to the matter, I have spoken to your mum about your concerns. Just so you know, I am still not taking sides.
He reassured his daughter of her mother’s love despite the disagreement while promising her a possible gift upon his return.
Your mummy loves you. Gets you, she even explains you to me when I don’t…. You know you have obey her before you drop your plenty of reasons why. She will speak with you later today. Alex and Zoe think I am softer with u but I don’t know about that. I love that you are smart and expressive. Don’t forget to be understanding too. Daddy and mummy love you very much. I will bring something special when I am. Coming. Maybe the Apple desktop. I said maybe,” he wrote.
