Augustine Obiabo Ahmedu, otherwise known as Blackface of the
defunct Plantation Boyz, has accused his kinsman and estranged band mate of
trying to make him remain poor.
The Hard Life singer said Mr. Idibia stole his song, Let
Somebody Love You and refused to pay him his royalty.
The Agatu-born Benue State singer declared that he had
dragged 2face to court for copyright infringement.
Tuface while reacting to the claim asked Blackface to
apologise within seven days for all the defamatory statements or be dragged to
court.
During an interview with a media source, Blackface lamented
that his former band mate had succeeded in sidelining him from all events in
Benue State with the aim of making him to remain poor.
“I read what his manager said and it is really funny. For
me, I have taken the right step and that is the best I have done. Let the law
have its way.
“I have been trying to play low on this because we both are
from Benue and he doesn’t want to see it that way. I had wanted us to work
together as kinsmen so we could develop our youths but he doesn’t want all
that.
“He has succeeded in pushing me aside from participating in
all shows in Benue because he wants to make all the money so I could be poor.
Check out all events that have been happening in my hometown. It’s all about
him and him alone.
“You can’t ride on my intellectual property and want me to
keep mum,” he said.
Asked if 2face had ever paid him any royalty for the song,
the acclaimed Ghetto Child said he had never received any money for the song.
“He has never paid my anything. My pain is, he went ahead to
remix the song and featured someone else without my consent. That is
intellectual robbery. The case is already on and we shall see how it ends,” he
added.
