Blackface, whose real name is Ahmed Augustine Obiabo, is known to have accused some other artistes of stealing his songs – with the fellows including Asake, Olamide and Tuface, the last regarding ‘African Queen’.

Blackface speaks on new album

Blackface

Controversial artiste, Augustine Ahmedu, aka Blackface, has given a hint on a new album he is working on.

According to him, the work will soon be out.

This is as he notes that he is helping some other artistes on a new label.

Blackface is more popular with fighting for copyright ownership, especially that of Tuface’s ‘African Quine’.

On his current adventures, he notes in an interview with ‘The Punch’: “I am trying to release an album. I currently work with a record company called Loud Houz Entertainment, and we have some artistes that we are grooming. We are also working on a Plantashun Boiz project. People will be hearing more from me now as an executive, even though I will still be releasing songs once in a while. I am focused on helping those that are on my record label, teaching them all they need to know about the industry to make them big enough to fend for themselves.”

… accuses Burna Boy, others of stealing his songs

During a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, he called out Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Asake, of copying his song without his consent.

Wizkid and Burna Boy’s song ‘Ginger’, according to Blackface, closely mimics his single ‘Twist & Turn’ in terms of rhythm, beat, and the way the melody begins and ends. He argued that only the verses had been changed.

In addition, Blackface accused Asake of stealing his song ‘Ikebe Supa’ in ‘Joha,’ claiming that he wass an inspiration to the musicians.

The veteran singer, who once called out 2Face Idibia, clarified that he does not oppose young artistes sampling his work, but he takes issue with the lack of permission and proper acknowledgement in the process.

“Young ones dey get inspiration from my music.

The first person wey sample my music na Wizkid when he do ‘Baby girl I like the way you whine it.’

When I release these records, dem go find the one wey dem like and dem go turn am to their own,” he said in part.

For how long can Blackface take on Bobrisky?

Elijah Adebero

Controversial musician, Blackface, has attacked crossdressers in Nigeria, saying they were negatively influencing younger generations.

Blackface called out the likes of Bobrisky, James Brown and Denrele over the way they dress.

The question now could be: for how long can he take on a stubborn soul like Bobrisky?

Morally promising as his crusade might be, a Bobrisky is not one to bow to such a gospel.

Even the Federal Government, especially through culture manager Otunba Segun Runsewe, tried hard to stop Bobrisky’s crossdressing trade. It failed.

Well, Blackface, who who has been in copyright battle with his old bandmate Tuface, insisted in a tweet:

“Y’ALL SHOULD TRY STOPPING INFLUENCING OUR YOUNG GENERATIONS WITH YOUR LOW IQ AND DRESS SENSE!

IF YOU’RE A MAN PLEASE DRESS LIKE A MAN AND NOT A TRANSGENDER. SMH”

Great luck to him!

Blackface attacks Wizkid over Buhari

Wizkid

Controversial singer, Blackface, has hit hard at Wizkid.

He is tackling the Starry over his comment on President Muhammadu Buhari’s ‘get-well-soon’ message to President Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump is not your business! Old man! Police/Sarz still killing Nigerian youth on a daily! Do something! Nothing concern you for America! Face your country !!,” Wizkid had slammed Buhari in a tweet.

Fiing him back with a tweet, Blackface noted: “Why don’t you face your music small man? I understand why that is difficult because it doesn’t have any substance #ChildrenOfNowAdays

“No be every verified account the person name on top dey control So it is possible that that @wizkidayo account is being handled by an agent because I don’t believe Wizkid is that dumb to insult his father or his father’s mate(sic).”

Blackface’s usual ‘enemy’ is Tuface but there has been relative peace between them in recent times.
