Shortly after apologizing and
revoking all allegations of song
theft and career sabotage
previously made against Mr.
Innocent Idibia and Mr. Efe
Omorogbe, Blackface has
explained why he did so. In a
lengthy post,
he said;
“I’m a human being and a
Nigerian who fights for his rights.
The problem with many of us is
that we are afraid to speak up
for what is right or defend the
truth when we know it.
No be
say I too talk my people. But I’m
just trying to inspire somebody
or ‘trying to make common sense’
as Mr. Ben Bruce would say. My
people ‘Don’t sleep on your
rights’ and users of people's
works make sure the writers/contributors are credited
properly.”
“When you speak out, things
happen and that’s why I said I
will be done with these issues
this year 2019 and behold here
we are. I can say that the N50m
defamation suit filed against me
by Mr. Innocent Idibia aka 2face
and his manager Mr. Efe
Omorogbe has been settled out
of court as they both have
withdrawn their case filed
against me.”
“It’s true that they sang my
song without permission and
truly it pissed me off. But that
doesn’t legally make them
thieves as the lawyers made me
understand. Sometimes the
words we use matter, that’s why
I apologized. Finally, they
admitted they made mistakes
with my songwriters and
publishers' rights which they
should have informed me.”
“They’ve promised to rectify
them so we wait and I hope they
honor this time and furnish me
details to that effect. To all my
fans, friends, family, followers
and #BFNNation, Thank you all
for your support. I owe you guys
a big concert #BFNLIC1. Can we
now go back to music? The
#album #RisingSun soon be
available.”
