Hours after it became news that lawyers of 2face Idibia wrote a
letter to his former band mate Blackface demanding an unreserved
apology over defamatory remarks made against him and his manager, Blackface has replied the ultimatum given him.
apology over defamatory remarks made against him and his manager, Blackface has replied the ultimatum given him.
However, the “Hard Life” crooner who was handed a seven-day ultimatum
by lawyers of 2face to issue an unreserved public apology failure of
which would leave 2face’s counsel with no option but to seek legal
redress in court, has vowed never to apologise.
The raga and reggae singer revealed that much and more in an
interview with a popular Nigerian blog saying 2face and his manager can
go to hell as a Rasta man does not apologise to anybody.
Blackface said; “They sent me that letter some days ago asking me to
apologise. Rastaman apologises to nobody man. Rasta will never apologise
to them because they are filled with evil and fuckery so they should go
to hell and anything they want to do they should do but I know that my
lawyers should have served them already. What am I apologising for?
Somebody takes your music and then you apologise? Is that for real?”
Continuing, he added that; “They are really playing with themselves
and I think the manager is putting him in a whole lot of trouble. They
know they are in a whole lot of trouble. They took a lawyer from Oshodi
Bridge to write something for them who does not even know how to weigh
the case and know what to even write. Illiteracy is around them. They
are crazy. They don’t even know what they are doing.
“The evidence is there that they sang my song and somebody else
published it. It is my song and somebody else published it. I am not
even talking about African woman right now. I am talking about Let
Somebody Love you. That song shouldn’t have been released without my
permission because it is my song. The manager went to publish my song. I
don’t know what kind of pilfering they are doing because they are
industry crooks. They are robbing the industry of a whole lot of things.
That is what they are doing,” he said.
In January last year, Blackface accused Wizkid of trying to bring him
down and suggesting that Wizkid’s hit song, titled Ojuelegba, sounds
the same as the track 13 on one of his dancehall albums released as far
back as 2010.
Days later he came 2face accusing him of stealing his song, titled ‘Let Somebody Love You’.
It could also be recalled that Blackface had in the past claimed he
originally wrote the song ‘African Queen’ which brought 2face global
acclaim.
