Veteran singer-songwriter Blackface has accused popular Afrobeats artists Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Asake of copying his music and engaging in intellectual property theft.
In an interview with Naija FM, Blackface claimed that Wizkid and Burna Boy’s song “Ginger” samples his track “Twist & Turn,” including the rhythms, beat, and melody. He also accused Asake of sampling his song “Ikebe Supa” in “Joha.” Blackface stated that while he is not against artists sampling his music, he takes issue with them doing so without seeking his permission.
