Former Plantashun boiz’ member Blackface calls out Wizkid, says "Ojuelegba" was stolen from him

 

Few days ago former ‘Plantashun boiz’ member Blackface released a song where he called out Wizkid for allegedly stealing some of his song material.

 “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.” He told the newspaper. 

He then added: “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.

When quizzed if he had confronted Wizkid on the issue he said he made attempts at reaching him which proved futile as the singer purportedly then went on to continue the trend.

The dancehall act said: “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.”
