Blackberrybabes:
Veteran dancehall act and a former member of the defunct Afro-pop singing trio, Plantashun Boyz, Blackface, has called on fellow musician, Wizkid, to “stop stealing” his songs.
Blackface who spoke exclusively to Saturday Beats , said Wizkid had been copying many of his songs for a long time...
“I never really wanted to talk about it all this while but after people started checking out my new song, Killa, many felt Blackface sounded like Wizkid, which I didn’t like.

“If you check properly, you would realise that Wizkid’s hit, Ojuelegba, sounds exactly the same as the track 13 on my dancehall album released as far back as 2010.
You need to listen to that album to know what I am talking about. The song is so similar that I think it shouldn’t be that way.
“Well, in Killa, I sang that “they tried to copy my melody,” and the bloggers got a hint of the gist and put their reports out. What I said is the truth and I am going to get to the root of this matter because I deserve justice.

“The Ojuelegba song has made so much revenue for Wizkid. I am not bothered about that but I want the industry to be in a position whereby people will understand that some of the artistes and the songs they are cheering is someone else’s efforts, especially fellow artistes that they are doing everything to bring down. All they are doing is to bring down Blackface and to say that he is not relevant in the industry. Some people are bent on killing my legacy. I believe there is definitely a gang-up against me in the industry and this has been going on for a long time,” he said.
Asked if he had taken on Wizkid personally on the matter, the dancehall artiste said he did his best in that regard but that the response from the Star Boy act shocked him.

“There was a time Wizkid followed me on twitter and I told him that I don’t want him taking my songs and that if he wants to do any of my rhythm, he should let me know. I told him that because I was just being a big brother to him. I told him that our songs can’t be sounding so similar and that if he wants anything, he should let me know. But after some time, he ‘unfollowed’ me and it was shortly after then that the Ojuelegba song was released. I don’t have any problem with Wizkid or any other person, all I am saying is that they shouldn’t be tampering with my songs because those are my properties.

“Wizkid and I do different kinds of music and he doesn’t have my type of skill. I don’t have a problem with that. I am only bothered when somebody takes my song and tries to turn it around into theirs without giving me due credit,” he said.
Efforts to reach Wizkid to react to Blackface’s claims proved abortive as his phone numbers were switched off. His manager, Sunday Are, couldn’t be reached as his line was switched off as well.

Blackface or whiteface, when you started composing song and how come wizkid stole your song, you should stop looking for attention and focus on how to make a comeback like your brother's, or comeout with prof not only accusation.

Blackface might be right. Nobody's reasoning with him, Dammy krane complained of Wizkid stealing his stuff, now blackface. Who has ever complained of Davido stealing his songs? I believe in talent, in no time those with copy and sing will fade away when they have nothing to offer.

Password accused Davido of stealing his GOBE song.......and even davido said he was guilty of the accusation..... So bro. ..SHUT UP OR........

Okay. I just read through the comments and I noticed a lot of aspersions being casted. People raining insults on the Blackface dude! Now tell me,is this the first time an artiste comes out to accuse Wizkid of 'GrandTheft'?? 2face Idibia said some few days back on Wazobia f.m that the allegations DammyKrane made against Wizkid were true. That Wizkid actually stole DK's song. Now BlackFace comes out saying the same thing and people are raining invectives on him.
It's not actually my business but in every accusation that props up repeatedly, there is an iota of truth. BlackFace said he has evidence. Analyse his evidence before conclusion.

RandomVic:
This dude self, he's been accused of stealing other people songs as far back as 2010. You people should go listen to Girls by Se7en, tell us if Wiz Kid didn't straight up stole the Se7en's song to create his first major hit 'Holla At Your Boy'. He should get his act together! Intellectual property is a big thing in the developed world.
