Former Plantashun Boiz member, Blackface is not relenting on seeking justice against bandmate 2Face for allegedly stealing the hit song African Queen.
He made his grouse known during a recent interview with HipTv
The Singer who has continually faulted 2Face for not acknowledging nor rewarding him for his role in writing African Queen, has said that he is not willing to let go of the accusations. He insisted that 2Face must make necessary corrections or be ready to suffer the consequences.
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.“Whatever the government decides, the courts are there to ensure that justice prevails. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, you will have to accept the consequence of your actions.”
