At Last, Black Face Drags 2 Face Idibia To Court Over Song ‘Theft’
LAGOS NOVEMBER 20TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Former member of ‘Plantashun Boi’, Ahmedu Augustine, popularly known as Blackface, has finally dragged his former friend, Innocent Idibia to court for allegedly stealing his song.
The singer revealed that he waited this long before filing a complaint in court because he was waiting for 2Face to do what’s right.
He wrote on Instagram:
Quote
”I sincerely want to apologize to
close friends, relatives, well wishers who may have been affected by my actions
or inactions over the years. I have always stood for a better Nigeria,equal
rights and an agitator for a system in place in our country so adequate
compensation be given to not only Nigerian songwriters but song writers and
creators all over the world ,an industry where all players in the creative
process are recognized and credited for their contribution to any piece of work
used commercially or otherwise.
I will never be intimidated by any threat My intention has never been to expose
anybody but the truth finds it’s way out eventually. My issues with Mr Innocent
Idibia aka 2face & co are purely professional and my lawyers have filed my
claims in Court, to be served to all parties in due time. I apologize for the
delay in taking this step, i was hoping they would do the right thing and the
need for me to take them to court will not arise but alas I was wrong.
I believe the legal system will resolve this eventually. I will also continue
to defend myself in the 50Million suit they filled against me which comes up
for mediation on the 25th of November 2019.
Meanwhile, I will not make any further statements on this issue until both
lawsuits are concluded as I have entrusted this matter to my lawyers and the
justice system. I appreciate all the good wishes from those who have reached
out with their concerns over this protracted matter. Please bear with me as we
calmly await the resolution of these cases.
Thank You All Mr Ahmedu Augustine (BlackFaceNaija)”
