Blackface Exposes Wizkid Further, Says He Stole ‘Ojuelegba’ From Him Blackface Exposes Wizkid Further, Says He Stole ‘Ojuelegba’ From Him
OK, this is quite funny.
In a new chat with Saturday Beatz, Blackface said Wizkid stole ‘Ojuelegba’ track from him.
He said: –
“I never really wanted to talk about it all this while but after
people started checking out my new song, Killa, many felt Blackface
sounded like Wizkid, which I didn’t like.
“If you check properly, you would realise that Wizkid’s hit,
Ojuelegba, sounds exactly the same as the track 13 on my dancehall album
released as far back as 2010.
You need to listen to that album to know what I am talking about. The song is so similar that I think it shouldn’t be that way.
“Well, in Killa, I sang that “they tried to copy my melody,” and the
bloggers got a hint of the gist and put their reports out. What I said
is the truth and I am going to get to the root of this matter because I
deserve justice.
“The Ojuelegba song has made so much revenue for Wizkid. I am not
bothered about that but I want the industry to be in a position whereby
people will understand that some of the artistes and the songs they are
cheering is someone else’s efforts, especially fellow artistes that they
are doing everything to bring down. All they are doing is to bring down
Blackface and to say that he is not relevant in the industry. Some
people are bent on killing my legacy. I believe there is definitely a
gang-up against me in the industry and this has been going on for a long
time”
When asked if he had taken on Wizkid personally on the issue, he replied saying,
“There was a time Wizkid followed me on twitter and I told him that I
don’t want him taking my songs and that if he wants to do any of my
rhythm, he should let me know. I told him that because I was just being a
big brother to him. I told him that our songs can’t be sounding so
similar and that if he wants anything, he should let me know. But after
some time, he ‘unfollowed’ me and it was shortly after then that the
Ojuelegba song was released. I don’t have any problem with Wizkid or any
other person, all I am saying is that they shouldn’t be tampering with
my songs because those are my properties.
“Wizkid and I do different kinds of music and he doesn’t have my
type of skill. I don’t have a problem with that. I am only bothered when
somebody takes my song and tries to turn it around into theirs without
giving me due credit.”
