Blackface sues Banky W and Wizkid for stealing his song

Blackface has sued Banky W and his former artiste under EME, Wizkid for intellectual property theft.

Read his statement below:

“I have remained quiet while my name has been dragged in the mud the past few years.

“Some of Nigeria’s biggest artists have infringed on my copyrights but I always restricted myself to speaking out against this in the media.

TRIBUTE: Onyeka Onwenu, an Anambra-born singer who lost her father at 4, abandoned journalism for music

TRIBUTE: Sule Suebebe, an Ekiti-born comic actor and ‘Suku Suku Bam Bam’ star who died at 68

“Maybe because I always felt that music is an art and not really a business where you bring in lawyers and all that.That’s why I couldn’t believe when I was sued for N50m by the same people who stole my intellectual property.

“I have nothing personal against Wizkid & BankyW, in fact I can say I groove to both their music, but the fact is that they stole my song in 2011 and there’s clear evidence to prove it.

“We’ll allow the Court to decide…”
