Ogungbe made the confession when he appeared on the Honest Bunch podcast.
Nigerian singer, Blackface has considered taking legal action against Kenny Ogungbe’s shocking disclosure about the controversial song, African Queen.
Recall that Blackface had for years accused his former Plantashun Boiz group member, 2Baba, of denying him due credit and royalties for the 2004 hit.
Following revelation by Kennis Music CEO Kenny Ogungbe, who confessed to registering Blackface's song 'African Queen' in the United States without his permission, Blackface has asked Nigerians to give him legal advice on how to get his due rights.
Ogungbe made the confession when he appeared on the Honest Bunch podcast.
He revealed that Blackface was the first to release music among the trio but stated that African Queen was registered under 2Baba’s name without Blackface being credited.
In response, Blackface took to X (formerly Twitter) with a heartfelt message, expressing his pain and frustration over years of alleged sabotage and injustice.
He wrote: “Guys I am really emotional right now… What in the world took you guys too long to come out and clear the air that you guys falsely registered my song “African Queen” without my consent and excluded my name so you guys can collect all the writers and publishing royalties?
“I got sabotaged because of that action and it followed by another action against me since then just to make me be someone that his opinion won’t count and as a result they used the media against me trying hard to depress me for me to fall off my tracks in life.
“I wasn’t patronised any more even when the fans craved for me and my team to perform for them in big events and smaller ones alike Several artists started taking my lines and melodies to make their own hits,what can I do?
“After all I have been cancelled is their thoughts They tried really I swear they tried People started telling me that before they could do any business with me I have to go and make peace with some persons, it was an agenda.
“A sabotage agenda against me I was once invited to a show in olodi Apapa, on arrival at the event place I went to the VIP and some persons cleared out leaving me and my team on our own.
“I didn’t read any meaning to their actions But when I met one of them at #Omobarca’ s residence he #McDanfo told me that He was with the team that left the VIP because of the bad stories about me Song theft issues and all I laughed and he said he never knew me till he sat with me now he knows better ,but lately he went off again and I believe he is back to his former beliefs.
“Trying to sabotage the band #PlantashunBoiz I couldn’t allow it so I went ahead to do another album for the fans …And I have plans to recruit new members to the band in the near future.
“What’s wrong with being honest all the time ???? Truth is easy Lies and deceit is very hard to keep up with !!! I remember when a publication was made that the cabal should remove the celebrity status from me .. #Blackfacenaija All to give me a bad name like I wasn’t relevant but without me they won’t have any hits as many won’t have where to copy from Now is that time for justice.”
