Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, known as Blackface, a former member of the group Plantashun Boiz, has accused Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Asake of using his songs without permission, alleging intellectual property theft.
During a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Blackface claimed that Wizkid and Burna Boy’s song “Ginger” sampled his track “Twist & Turn,” stating that the rhythms, beat, and melody were taken from his song, with only the verses changed.
He also accused Asake of sampling his song “Ikebe Supa” in the track “Joha.”
Blackface mentioned that while he doesn’t oppose young artists sampling his songs, he is disappointed by their failure to seek his permission before doing so.
It is important to note that these are Blackface’s allegations, and there may be differing perspectives on the matter.
