Blackface denies suing 2face, Faze, Ruggedman
Dancehall exponent, Blackface Naija has debunked claims that he has filed a lawsuit against the trio of 2face, Faze and Ruggedman for allegedly tarnishing the image of defunct Plantaishun Boiz.
Blackface who revealed that much in an interview with Vanguard noted that the letter was merely written to notify the trio not to perform his song at any concert.
According to Blackface, he wrote the letter which was mistaken for a lawsuit after he got wind that 2face and Faze were scheduled to perform at Ruggedman’s forthcoming concert tagged ‘The Foundation Concert and Awards’.
“Report has gone viral on the internet that I have sued 2Baba, Faze and Rugged man are mere propaganda. I never said I was suing them for damaging the image of Plantashun Boiz. If they read the letter properly they would have had a proper understanding of what it says. I only informed them that performing any of Platashun Boiz’s song at the said concert would amount to an infringement on my registered copyright.

“However, the band, Platashun Boiz was not contracted for the show Ruggedman is currently promoting, so 2Baba or Faze shouldn’t go there and perform any song by the band because copyright over the songs belong to the band and not any individual”, he said.
The latest development is yet another chapter in the long running feud between Blackface and his former band members.
Recall that Blackface who has constantly accused his former band mates of copyright infringement, promised to end the career 2face in 2019.
