According to him, things fell apart between the duo after 2Face started singing his songs without his consent.
Ahmedu Obiabo aka Blackface has revealed the reason he fell out with singer, Innocent Idibia aka 2Face.
According to him, things fell apart between the duo after 2Face started singing his songs without his consent.
Blackface spoke during his interview with The Honest Bunch podcast.
According to him, after forming the two-man band, he and Tubaba, then known as 2face, got some gigs and visited various northern cities.
However, he had to return to school at the Institute of Management Technology, Enugu.
“I said, let me finish my school first, and then I’ll continue my music. And then, when I went to IMT, Tuface came to meet me in IMT, and he was like the music was still in his head, and he didn’t know how to go about it.
“I am that guy to straight-line anything you want to do, if it’s music, especially. And I said the number one thing you have to do is stop jumping from group to group. I’m preparing to go to Lagos, but I could take you with me. And that was how I brought Tuface with me from Enugu to Lagos,” he said.
When they arrived in Lagos, the ‘Hard Life’ singer revealed they stayed in Obalende with his brother, Sam Ahmedu, before going to FESTAC.
He claimed that during that time, they met concert promoter Nelson Brown, got into the Rothman’s rhythm, went on tours, met the remedies, and did everything else.
Tuface allegedly took up to six months before agreeing to let Faze join the group.
