Veteran music artiste, Blackface of defunct Plantashun Boiz, has called out music superstars, Burna Boy and Wizkid, for allegedly sampling his song without giving him credit.
Blackface, in a post shared on his Instagram page, accused the entertainers of sampling his song ‘Twist and Turn’ in their featured song ‘Ginger’, off Wizkid’s 2020 album, Made in Lagos.
Sharing a video snippet of the song he claimed they copied, Blackface said they should have asked for permission before sampling his music. He however urged Wizkid and Burna Boy to contact him privately.
He wrote,
“Anything wrong in asking for permission before you guys decide to sample my music ? Sampling is wrong when you don’t ask for permission before you do such @wizkidayo @burnaboygram I still dey wait make una call me.

Few months ago, Blackface also accused Wizkid and his former record label boss, Banky W, of sampling his songs.
This follows the interview Banky W had with popular TV host, Ebuka Obi-Uchenda, on Bounce Radio where he disclosed that Wizkid signed a 5-album deal with his record label, EME, but only did two before exiting the label.
The interview caused a huge buzz on social media as fans of the Grammy nominee go all out to defend their fave, and dug out a video where Wizkid said he left the record label with zero naira.
Reacting to the social media frenzy, Blackface took to his official social media pages to accuse the duo of stealing his songs. Read here
