Nigerian singer, Blackface has given details to how his court case with 2baba was settled out of court.
The singer took to his Instagram page to speak on his just concluded case with former bandmate, 2baba. According to him, the 50 million naira defamation lawsuit by 2baba has been dropped. He advised people not to sleep on their rights and to always defend what the truth is.
He further revealed that 2baba and his team admitted to making mistakes with his songwriter and publishers right and they promised to rectify the issue.
I am a human being and a Nigerian who fights for his rights. The problem with many of us is that we are afraid to speak up for what is right or defend the truth when we know it. No be say i too talk my people but I’m just trying to inspire somebody or ‘trying to make common sense’ like Mr Ben Bruce would say. My people “Don’t sleep on your rights” and users of peoples works make sure the writers/contributors are credited properly.
When you speak out, things happen and that’s why I said I will be done with this issues this year 2019 and behold here we are… I can say that the 50 Million defamation suit filed against me by Mr Innocent Idibia aka 2face and his manager Mr Efe Omorogbe has been settled out of court as they both have withdrawn their case filed against me.It’s true that they sang my song without permission and truly it pissed me off, but that doesn’t legally make them thieves as the lawyers made me to understand
Sometimes the words we use matter, that’s why I apologized for using that word when my lawyers advised me…Finally they admitted they made mistakes with my songwriters and publisher’s rights which they should have informed me before but they never did , they have promised to rectify them so we wait and I hope they honour this this time and furnish me details to that effect .
