Go to hell, I won’t apologise, Blackface tells 2face’s lawyers

Hours after it became news that lawyers of 2face Idibia wrote a letter to his former band mate Blackface demanding an unreserved apology over defamatory remarks made against him and his manager, Blackface has replied the ultimatum given him.

However, the “Hard Life” crooner who was handed a seven-day ultimatum by lawyers of 2face to issue an unreserved public apology failure of which would leave 2face’s counsel with no option but to seek legal redress in court, has vowed never to apologise.

The raga and reggae singer revealed that much and more in an interview with a popular Nigerian blog saying 2face and his manager can go to hell as a Rasta man does not apologise to anybody.

Blackface said; “They sent me that letter some days ago asking me to apologise. Rastaman apologises to nobody man. Rasta will never apologise to them because they are filled with evil and fuckery so they should go to hell and anything they want to do they should do but I know that my lawyers should have served them already. What am I apologising for? Somebody takes your music and then you apologise? Is that for real?”

Continuing, he added that; “They are really playing with themselves and I think the manager is putting him in a whole lot of trouble. They know they are in a whole lot of trouble. They took a lawyer from Oshodi Bridge to write something for them who does not even know how to weigh the case and know what to even write. Illiteracy is around them. They are crazy. They don’t even know what they are doing.

“The evidence is there that they sang my song and somebody else published it. It is my song and somebody else published it. I am not even talking about African woman right now. I am talking about Let Somebody Love you. That song shouldn’t have been released without my permission because it is my song. The manager went to publish my song. I don’t know what kind of pilfering they are doing because they are industry crooks. They are robbing the industry of a whole lot of things. That is what they are doing,” he said.

In January last year, Blackface accused Wizkid of trying to bring him down and suggesting that Wizkid’s hit song, titled Ojuelegba, sounds the same as the track 13 on one of his dancehall albums released as far back as 2010.

Days later he came 2face accusing him of stealing his song, titled ‘Let Somebody Love You’.

It could also be recalled that Blackface had in the past claimed he originally wrote the song ‘African Queen’ which brought 2face global acclaim.
