BlackfaceOne of the most decorated and a successful Afro pop artist in Africa, Innocent Ujah Idibia aka 2face is presently enmeshed in copyright saga with a member of his defunct Plantashun Boys group, Blackface.

 

Information made available to societyreelnews revealed that in 2face latest album, The Ascension, a track titled “Let Somebody Love You” is claimed to be written by Austin Ahmedu aka Blackface. It was gathered that Blackface is set for the court requesting a royalty for his intellectual property that has been used by 2face without his consent.

 

It will be recalled that this is not the first time 2face is alleged to have stolen Blackface song. First of it was the popular African Queen, song that made a lot of fortunes for 2face, winning several local and international awards in various categories. The song even got so well-liked that it was used as a sound track in one of the Hollywood movies, Phat Girlz.

 

The success of the song, African Queen, drew a battle line between Blackface and 2face as Blackface demanded royalties for being the song writer, owner and threatened to sue 2face. Settling out of court, a meeting was arranged by Blackface management as well as the management of 2face with both artistes in attendance where a concession was reached, that 2face should compensate Blackface monetarily.

While Blackface confirmed he received what he called a stipend from 2Face and made effort to mend their friendship, it was discovered recently that another of his song, “Let Somebody love u” is in 2face new album. The song was modified and it featured Bridget Kelly and Efe as a co-writer.

According to reliable informant close to Blackface, 2face’s act infuriated him and sees it as cheating because he underrates his financial capability to sponsor a case in the court of law. However, Blackface has served a letter to 2face through his lawyer waiting to meet in court.
