Veteran Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, has claimed that his colleague, 2Face, otherwise known as 2Baba, owes most of his career successes to his former bandmate, Blackface.
He said Blackface was the leader of the defunct Plantashun Boiz that brought 2Baba to the spotlight.
The veteran singer appeared as a guest in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, Deity Cole, and Husband Material.
Speaking in Pidgin, Abdulkareem said, “Most of the things wey 2face be today, na Blackface make am happen.”
Blackface, 2Baba then known as 2Face, and Faze were once members of a band called Plantashun Boiz. The band defunct after they split, launching their respective solo careers.
Blackface had in several interviews accused 2Face of being responsible for their split. He also accused 2Face of stealing his hit song, ‘African Queen’ from him.
