Every once in a while, veteran singer Blackface goes on a social media rant about something he feels we should care about. This time it’s not about taking 2Baba to court or Wizkid sounding like him. Well, he kinda mentions that too but this time it’s a lengthy boast that speaks about remaining relevant in the industry despite not dropping a new album in five years.
You can scroll right down and read the rant in full if you want, but why would you when we’ve summarized it for you right here?
He finally explains where he got his name from
I came into this game when the industry had no face, with respect to all other musicians and melody makers I listened to before I started creating mine, I brought in the faces (you know there names already ) that was going to create a spark in the Nigerian music scene..
Thank you, Blackface. Thank you.
The Black Face type of inspiration
Oh and that spark you talked about, is it by any chance the kind you can pass around?
Don’t call it a comeback
Maybe, maybe someday me and my former members might do a song or a project but that remains for the gods to decide as it is as friends have become foes in these times.
We’ve seen what a Plantashun Boiz comeback looks like, the gods didn’t like it either.
Subliminal
Some so called pioneers in the radio and TV won’t play our music either because they were part of a so called #Cabal but that hadn’t changed anything as this#Rasta only became stronger while those they support
And adhere to their demands start to run out of ideas and resort to stealing our old materials from released albums and yet to be recorded songs to make their own music so all along I been competing with myself and the #saboteurs.
When did Blackface learn how to bite his tongue? Impressive. By the way, we are changing the name of this symbol (#) to the harsh tag from now on, since Blackface #’d only the harsh words.
Aha! You have a new album on the way, why didn’t you say so since morning, oga?
5 years with no album out I am back in their face again #Killah made dem think like…’ah ah I thought we finished him already’… I laugh but the saga must continue
No, not really. I think we can do with another 5 years to be perfectly honest.
