Nigerian popular music group, Plantashun Boiz, broke up in 2004. The defunct music group had Innocent Idibia, aka 2face; Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo, aka Blackface, and Chibuzor Oji, aka Faze.
Though the group came back together in 2007 to record a third album, Blackface and 2face can right now be described as bitter enemies. Blackface has always said he was unfairly treated by his former group member.
In an encounter with Sunday Scoop, Blackface mentioned some of the factors that led to the demise of the group. He said, “Artistes are like footballers. If there is no love in a team, they cannot play together. Once you are in a group, you must consider the interest of everyone in it. But at some point, one of us was only interested in what he wanted for himself. He was responsible for the end of Plantashun Boiz because he was selfish.
Blackface maintained that they could not work together as a group again.“I don’t see us doing things together anymore and I have no regrets as life is a learning process. If you hear that we are coming back, it is just propaganda,” he said.
While admitting that being in a group brings quick success, he said it could also be very stressful. He added, “As a solo artiste, you make decisions for yourself. You do what suits you and you don’t have to worry about other group members. Though doing music with a group of people is okay, being a solo artiste is better. That way, you can control your music.

ReplyDeleteThis guy should just move on, e don do
DeleteBlack face should let go.He has been suffering from depression as a result of the breakup.He should go and record songs rather than blaming 2face for his misfortunes.Any music group that break up check it one person will outshine the others. E. G destiny child.

He keep shifting the blame to others..this he has been doing for many years. Let it go Blackface pls! You can still make it if you are focus cause you have a raw talent like wandecoal and Burnaboy. I'd love to see you make some good music someday.

ReplyDeleteAfter all these years, he is still bitter. Guess Tuface wealth and fame is partly responsible. I don't see him bad mouthing Faze like that.
This idiot again ringing like a broken church bell mtsheeew
ReplyDeleteOthers in the group have moved on with lives, please move on with your life too. Though I understand your plight to some extent, there are individuals that find it difficult to 'blow so to say, unless they have some other people that can complement their talent. But don't worry, God is a miracle worker and way provider.
ReplyDeleteNna eeh, since 2004. Girls wey dey born then, don be slay queen

ReplyDeleteBitterness can cause cancer; forgive and move on, there are better things ahead to focus on!

ReplyDeleteEmbittered is just the right word to describe this guy. Instead of using and channeling all that anger into recording a massive hit he's busy taking cheap shots on people who care less. I pray he finds Peace.
