Nigerian singer and member of defunct-music group Plantashun Boiz, Blackface has accused his junior colleague in the music industry, Asake, of stealing his song.
During a recent interview with Naija FM, the ‘Ghetto Child’ singer claimed that Asake sampled his song ‘Ikebe Super’ in his hit song ‘Joha’.
He said he knows he is a huge source of inspiration to younger artistes but they should do due diligence by contacting him first before sampling his song.
According to him, he locks himself up in his room to get inspiration to make music so it doesn’t sit well with him when someone steals his idea.
Blackface, who once called out his colleague 2face Idibia, also accused other artistes including Burna Boy and Wizkid of sampling his song ‘Twist & Turn’ in their collaborative song ‘Ginger’.
He said he is not against them sampling his work in their music project but they should seek permission and properly acknowledge him.
“Young ones dey get inspiration from my music. The first person wey sample my music na Wizkid when he do ‘Baby girl I like the way you whine it.’ When I release these records, dem go find the one wey dem like and dem go turn am to their own,” he said in part.

"Wizkid and Burna Boy's Ginger is my track, Twist & Turn"
