Blackface whose real name is Ahmedu Augustine, a former founding member of the Nigerian band, Plantashun Boiz, which he formed in 2000 with TuBaba, then Tuface and Faze, Chibuzor Oji, is putting in motion plans to sue his erstwhile friend and group mate, Tubaba.
In a recent interview, he said his legal team is working on taking legal actions against 2Baba as that’s the best way he thinks he should go.
After Plantashun Boiz split in 2004, Blackface led a solo musical career. Sadly, there has been a long-standing beef between the dancehall singer, and 2face. In January 2016, in a series of tweets, Blackface lashed out at 2face and his manager accusing them of stealing his intellectual property and even threatening to take them to court.
“When I accused them, (2Baba and his manager), they lied and said its unfortunate. I said they took my song and then even said maybe my account was hacked. Well, if you thought so why didn’t you pick up your phone and say “Yo black.. . What’s going on?’ But, no they won’t because they wanted to steal it and it backfired, and they trying to act holy so they make flimsy excuses.
“2Baba and his manager planned all of that. He sang my song, ‘Let Somebody Love You’ and featured an American artiste, Bridget Kelly. His manager published it without my permission. Till today they haven’t deemed it fit to tell the world that they tried to assassinate my character in the media. So, the court is our only option as they keep avoiding meetings thinking that with time it will all fade off. But, they know not what tomorrow holds and neither do I.”
