Blackface has no hands down on his fight with 2Baba over song theft as he still insists that 2Baba must be the one to apologize. Obviously, not satisfied with accusing the African Queen singer, Black face once again made his grouse known in a recent interview with HipTV.



The singer who has continually faulted 2Baba for not acknowledg­ing or rewarding him for his role in writing African Queen, has said that he is not willing to let go of the ac­cusations.

Speaking on Faze’s move to bro­ker peace between himself and 2face, he said: “Faze is my friend and he is going to do his own bit. But, one thing that he does not know is that who feels it, knows it. He didn’t write the song, I did. So he does not know what I am talking about. It is easy for him to call for peace. But then, it is the duty of the offender to apologise for his action. I can’t keep quiet about what happened because I haven’t offended anybody. I have not stolen anybody’s song.”

He also stated that the Federal Government is yet to institute an ap­propriate punishment for individu­als who are involved in song theft.

“Had the Federal Government introduced an appropriate punish­ment for stealing other people’s songs, many music artistes would be in trouble today. If the penalty required offenders to spend some years in jail, many so-called big ar­tistes would be in prison by now.

“Some of them steal songs from fellow musicians based in the coun­try or abroad and pass them off as their own. This is very bad for culture and the creative sector. It is also bad enough for the honest and hardworking Nigerian artiste who goes through a lot of trouble to sur­vive.
