Blackface calls out Asake over intellectual theft
Nigerian singer, Blackface has accused his colleague Asake of intellectual theft.
In a series of tweets, Blackface accused Asake of not getting his permission before remixing his song.
He remarked that he noticed how the artist was attempting to outwit him and that he is considerably smarter than Asake considers him to be.
Blackface appealed to the ‘Organise‘ singer to do the right thing or face the consequences.
It will be remembered that TG Omori disclosed that Asake’s music video, “Joha,” cost $165,000. Following his revelation, singer, Blackface called out Asake for not crediting him on the song.
Last year, TG has actually revealed that “Joha” was the most expensive video he has shot. He stated that the budget for the video couldn’t be calculated in Naira as the calculator will spoil.

Expressing his anger on Twitter, he wrote:

“Una dey form say una smart I believe. E better make una do the right thing because this one I no go sorry for una! I dey come.
They love music I know But does it give them the right to sample remake or remix works I have already”
This won’t be the first time Blackface will be accusing an artist of copyright infringement. In 2022, the former Plantashun Boiz member accused his industry colleagues, Burna Boy and Wizkid, of sampling his song, ‘Twist and Turn’, without permission in his song, ‘Ginger‘.
