Blackface |
Former member of
the defunct music group, Plantashun Boiz, Blackface, seems to be ready for a
showdown with another former member of the group, 2Face Idibia over the
controversial hit song, 'African Queen,' which the former claimed he co-wrote
with the latter.
Blackface is
insisting that he also has a share in the glory and therefore is entitled to
whatever revenue 2Face earns from the song. Though 2Face Idibia has been taking
credit for the hit song, which was used as a soundtrack for a Hollywood movie,
Phat Girlz, released in 2006, and which featured American star, Mo'Nique,
Blackface has now cried out that he is also part of the song.
But why it took
him this long to voice out is what many still question. Shortly after the
Plantashun Boiz broke up, the relationship between the duo was still intact,
and it was believed that only Face had a strained relationship with the other
members of the group.
The strain in the
relationship between Blackface and 2Face became obvious during the April 2013
wedding of the latter in Dubai, which the former didn't attend. When asked by a
follower on Twitter why he was not at 2Face's wedding in Dubai, which was
attended by Face, Blackface simply replied that he didn't go to where he is not
invited.
Blackface's
response raised questions and confirmed that the two erstwhile friends might
not be on speaking terms. Speaking with Channels TV some days ago, Blackface
stated that he was yet to receive any money from 2Face despite his incessant
cry on the matter.
“I still haven't
(received any payment from 2Face) because they have to backdate it, they have
to check the revenues of the music, what it has generated, what is due to the
co-writer and all that, all those things are just still hanging, but I still
have one or two things that I am doing to find out what the issue behind all
these stuffs are,” the singer said.
