It is no longer news that since the
recent public reconciliation between
Augustine Ahmedu, popularly known
as Blackface, and his former friend
and collaborator, Innocent Idibia, aka
2baba, some fans have opined that the
reconciliation was too spontaneous to
be genuine.
The duo, together with Faze, were
members of the defunct music group,
Plantashun Boiz, before they went
their separate ways. Their feud began
when Blackface accused 2baba of
allegedly using the mega hit song,
‘African Queen’, without giving him
due credit.
Over the years, the former friends
practically became enemies as
Blackface never missed any
opportunity to lambast Idibia.
However, at a tribute session
organized in memory of late singer,
Sound Sultan, the three singers were
urged to bury the hatchet and resume
their friendship.
In an interview with Saturday Beats,
Blackface maintained that he wasn’t
boxed to a corner and the
reconciliation was genuine.
He said, “I did not feel boxed into a
corner by any means. It was a
spontaneous reaction and we all
know that holding grudges does not
help anyone because life is too short.
I am at peace with myself and I want
him (2baba) to be at peace with
himself too.”
Commenting on the possibility of a
future collaboration between him and
2baba, the ‘Hard Life’ singer said,
“Only time will reveal what will
happen in the future.”
Speaking on his current projects,
Blackface said, “I released a 24-track
album titled ‘Rising Sun’ on December
6, 2020. Now, I am working on the
follow up called ‘Rising Sun2’ which
has 24 tracks as well, and it will be
released soon. I hope to tour the
country as well.”
