Nigerian dancehall artiste and member of defunct music group Plantashun Boiz, Blackface has revealed that he is being blacklisted.
The singer told Punch’s Saturday Beats that since he revealed some artistes stole his songs, they have decided to blacklist him.
He said he is very aware that they are arching out a plan against him but he is an independent musician.
He said, “I did a song which preaches against the killings but radio stations would not play it because I am in their bad books. Simply because I said some people stole my songs, that is why they placed me in their bad books.
“I know there is a plan against me. I am an independent musician and I do not need Tuface to push my music.
“If I release a song titled, ‘Stop the killings,’ and the radio big boys do not play it, only a few people would listen to the message I am preaching which is of national benefit.”
He also accused popular OAP, Daddy Freeze of failing to promoted socially conscious songs.
Blackface said, “The so-called big OAPs like Freeze, who is always talking about pastors, are on the radio but they are not doing anything to push socially conscious songs that preach a message.
“But if Tekno sings a ‘Jogodo’, they will gladly play it. Their nonchalant attitude would destroy a lot of things and only bring more chaos. I have always advised the younger artistes to seek the permission of older artistes before they use their songs but no one listened.
“Wizkid took my song, ‘Whine it,’ sang it with Banky W and put it on his album, ‘Starboy.’ That same song is on my album, ‘Dancehall business.’ When I raised the alarm, the whole media kicked against me and they stopped playing my music. Yet they say I am the bad one. How long would they keep sabotaging me?”
